About Lost in the World

"Lost in the World" is a song by American hip hop recording artist Kanye West from his fifth studio album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010). The song features vocals by Justin Vernon of indie folk band Bon Iver, as well as sampling his 2009 song "Woods". It also contains portions of "Soul Makossa" written by Manu Dibango, and samples of "Comment No. 1", performed by Gil Scott-Heron. It was produced by West and Jeff Bhasker, who wrote the track with Vernon and Malik Jones. "Lost in the World" was initially leaked on September 29, 2010 and was 6 minutes and 4 seconds long. The version on the album was split up into two parts, with the outro becoming a new track entitled "Who Will Survive in America". The song received acclaim from music critics, who praised the atmospheric production, the appearance of Vernon, and West's verse. The verse by West was described as one of the most poetic of his career, with the song being cited as one of the strongest on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. "Lost in the World" was featured during the closing credits of Runaway, a 35-minute short film directed by West set with music from the album. The song peaked at number 104 on the South Korean Gaon Chart. A music video was directed by Ruth Hogben, featuring black and white cinematography, frantic dancing by models and a brief cameo by West. The music video received positive reviews from critics. more »

I'm up in the woods
I'm down on my mind
I'm building a still
To slow down time

I'm up in the woods
I'm down on my mind
I'm building a still
To slow down the time

I'm up in the woods
I'm down on my line
I'm building a still
Down the time ooh

I'm lost in the world
I'm down on my line
I'm new in the city
And I'm down for the night
Down for the night
Said shes down for the night

I'm lost in the world
I'm down on my line
I'm new in the city
But I'm down for the night
Down for the night, down for the night

Your my devil, your my angel
Your my heaven, your my hell
You're my now, you're my forever
You're my freedom, your my jail
You're my lies, your my truth
You're my war, you're my truce
Your my questions, your my proof
Your my stress your masseuse
Mama say mama say mama gos-an
Lost in this plastic light
Let's break out of this fake ass party
Turn this into a classic night
If we die in each others arms
Still get laid in that afterlife
If we die in each others arms
Still get laid yea

I'm up in the woods
(Run from the lights, run from the night
Run for your life
I'm new in the city
And I'm down for the night
Down for the night, down for the night)

I'm lost in the world
I'm down on my line
I'm new in the city
And I'm down for the night
Down for the night, down for the night
Ya oh wow
Ya oh wow
Ya oh wow
Ya oh wow
Ya oh wow
Who will survive in America?
Who will survive in America?
Who will survive in America?
Who will survive in America?

I'm lost in the world
I'm down on my line
I'm new in the city
But I'm down for the night
Down for the night, down for the night

I'm lost in the world
I'm down on my line
I'm new in the city
But I'm down for the night
Down for the night, down for the night

Hey oh wow oh
Hey oh wow oh
Hey oh wow oh
Whoa whoa whoa
Hey oh wow oh
Hey oh wow oh
Hey oh wow oh
Whoa whoa
Hey oh wow oh
Hey oh wow oh
Hey oh wow oh
Whoa whoa whoa
