Dr. Dre
Lost One
(Intro)
This is one of those nights
No sleeping, just thoughts

(Verse 1)
Lemme vibe right quick
To get my mind right
It's another one of those nights when you just might not
Live to see tomorrow
I'm starting to feel hollow
Question: have you ever try to sleep worrying bout the day that follows?
After so many times tears and fear just ain't an option
Yet I still look back to find exactly where I lost it
I'm holding myself hostage, with all these thoughts I'm in the darkness
Because of it I'm heartless, with the absence of a conscience
I lost my mind. But I'm doing my best to find it
Must be somewhere under all this hate, that's probably where my mind is
Maybe one day I'll find it
Maybe it's gone forever
But I got a new vendetta, against the man in the mirror
Every time I look at him
I wanna shatter the glass
All these repressed memories of things I done in the past
Of everybody who left, everybody who stayed with me
All the girls who said they loved me but were really just playing with me
Now I'm standing here watching as the world is changing around me
Everything is different, I ain't used to these surroundings
I wish I could get my life back and find a way out the dark
But the night isn't over, this is only where it starts
I lost one
(Hook: Angeles)
Lost one, let go to get one
Left one, lose some to win some
Story of a champion
Sorry I'm a champion
You lost one

(Verse 2)
I don't think it's meant to be, we
For she loves herself more than she does me
And honestly at 16, I should probably love myself more than I do she
But "we" ain't we, it's me and her
Cause what she prefers over me, ain't working
That's where we differ, so I'll have to give her, free time even if it hurts so breath
Darling it's deserved, you've been put on this earth
To be all you can be like the reserves and me, my time in your army is served
So I'll have to allow she, her, time to serve
Your time's now for her in time she'll mature and maybe we can be "we"
Again like we were
Finally, my time is too short to share. And to ask her now, it ain't fair so yea
I lost one

(Hook: Angeles)
Lost one, let go to get one
Left one, lose some to win some
Story of a champion
Sorry I'm a champion
You lost one
(Verse 3)
Somebody once told me it was wise to count your blessings
But what happens when every night that list of mine lessens
So many times I've been hurt, but I ain't losing to no depression
But it ain't even a question, the world is teaching a lesson
The only reason we fall is so we can get up again and nobody's even listening or paying attention
They just sit there every night then the sadness starts to slip in
And when it does well, we're back to beginning
And they put the blame on everything except themselves
But when their friends reached for their hand they didn't want their help
I've been there, and I remember those lonely nights when I had, nothing and no one
Only you can unlock the strength that you have
Whether it's love or life kicking you down, you better swing back
You better get yourself off the ground, make it your bitch and
To everybody fighting something I'm here to help and see you through
I'll help you get through the night, because I've been there too
I lost one

(Hook: Angeles)
Lost one, let go to get one
Left one, lose some to win some
Story of a champion
Sorry I'm a champion
You lost one
