Lost In The Lust
[Verse 1 - Adonis Reaper]
Yeah
Lost in the lust
Too many nights when we was out, finding love in the club
I mean it's all good, my n***as start looking around
Tryna find a group of girls in the crowd
Then we approach em & start whispering some shit in they ears
Yeah i got my own agendas & my n***as got theirs
After looking for a while, i then pull her to the side
No time for the foreplay, we get straight to the point
We hook up for the night
Exchanged tens now she blowing my line
I hit her back like "Yo girl, whassup"
She hit me right back like "You Round? I'm tryna cut"
I hit her back again, tеll her "yeah you know whassup"
Now I'm headеd to her crib & my homie tagging with
Soon as I got there, i had to use the restroom real quick
Fast forward, rendezvous in her room
Contemplating on whether to put the strap on or hit as it is
On second thought, I'm not tryna have kids
So i proceed but before i head in
My phone rang so i stared at the screen
Hit decline, whether wrong or right
Now I'm whylin' in the back of my mind
Cos I'm about to lose the love of my life over the hoe for the night
Stack emotions like a bankroll, often misogynistic
Maybe one day, I'll learn how to love right
As of now, I'm happily lost in the lust

I need you baby, if it's quite alright
I need you baby, to want a lonely night
I love you baby, trust in me when i say
(Okay)
It's okay
Oh pretty -
[Verse 2 - Bryan Ace]
Lost in the lust
Lately I got no one to trust
Met you on a Wednesday started falling in lust
Quickly realized that in your life you don't have space for an us
Or maybe I was late for the bus
And frankly I do not give a fuck
Plus I wasn't looking for love
But ended up just lost in the lust
But ended up just lost in the lust
I'll admit it girl my ego was bruised
Figured i got nothing to lose
And really I had nothing to prove
You lied and didn't tell me the truth
(You lied and didn't tell me the truth)
Uh
Remember the day like it was yesterday
Saw you with that n***a while y'all walked away
And it made me feel so devastated
(Yeah it made me feel so devastated)
Called me right after just to tell me you sorry
I wasn't in no mood for your stories
What we had was a short story and getting over you was mandatory
You a heartbreaker girl & I been knew it
Walked in with my heart and you pierced through it
I seen it all, I heard it all, I been through it
But I played the music, gotta dance to it

I need you baby, if it's quite alright

I love you baby, trust in me when i say
(Okay)
It's okay
Oh pretty -
[Verse 3 - Adonis Reaper & (Konscious X)]
Let me tell you all a story bout the girl from the block
Who was no stranger to the n***as who were creeping round her block
Yeah
See i knew her way back when, she was on her balcony & i saw her looking at me
So after weeks of procrastination, i finally approached
She had a man but she thought she was smart, tried to juggle us both
My n***as told me that it's jus another bitch & i was lost in the lust
But i ain't sweat it cos i knew what it was
After school find me chilling by her crib
Overtime, it was clear that she wasn't alright
Tried to pick apart her mind
She came off as self conscious, i got the feeling she was going through her own Hell, battling her demons
One day she caught me in the streets, told me to go meet her by the back & that shit got deep
Long story short, ended up inside of her sheets
As the weeks went by, other n***as came by
I tried to pay it no mind
Til' one day i was rollin' nearby with my homies & we seen another n***a come out
With his pants unbuckled & i honestly struggled, to understand why
The hypothesis is that she didn't choose to be promiscuous
Just as i vent on the m-i-c, she finds that comfort in the b-e-d
Lately she been hella low-key
Yeah
(These are tales of my hood)
You probably won't get it
(This is for my homies on the corner getting faded)
(Life is too short to be always getting high)
(Follow your dreams & aim higher than the sky)
