This one goes out to all the lost ones, if you know like I know, you know it cost some. Stuck in a rut that exhausts lungs. I got a message for you, boutta toss one.

Messenger of the night got a word, if they gangin’ up on you, then that’s absurd. Kinda easy to get lost in a herd, new hip-hop and R&B for the music nerds.

Then we gon’ listen to a ‘kingmaker.’ For music class, you gon’ have to bring paper. We gon’ talk Lost Ones, then we gon’ sing later, creating safe space for the think tankers. 

If you feeling’ lost, know you’re not alone. Life stinks sometimes, that’s why we got cologne. Message in a bottle, penetrate your dome. GPS this message to gotcha back home.
