I Been Lost My Mind [Intro — Spoken / Low] You think you losing it? I been lost my mind. Difference is… I learned how to use it. [Hook] You think you losing it? I been lost my mind I’m here now, don’t check for time Paid in full, I know you lying I shoot my shot, keep firing Motivated myself, how you inspiring? Walk through the flames, came out designing You looking for a spark, I became the fire Lost my mind, but I found my empire [Verse 1 — Double-Time] I been gone, I been back, I been off the map Had a hole in my soul, put a throne in that Every scar got a story, every loss got taxed Now I charge for the pain, put the cost on wax I don’t follow no crowd, I don’t walk in formation I got bored with opinions, developed my patience Had to cut off the noise, eliminate conversations Now the silence in my head sound like orchestration You think I’m crazy? Maybe—probably But the same damn madness made a masterpiece I was broke with a dream and a damaged lease Now I’m talking to the future like, “You better meet.” I don’t need validation, I validated me I don’t need motivation, I generated me You was waiting for somebody to come set you free I was picking up the pieces like, “This is all I need.” [Pre-Hook] I paid my dues, I paid my debt I lost some things I won’t forget But every time they counted me out I came back with a bigger threat [Hook] You think you losing it? I been lost my mind I’m here now, don’t check for time Paid in full, I know you lying I shoot my shot, keep firing Motivated myself, how you inspiring? Walk through the flames, came out designing You looking for a spark, I became the fire Lost my mind, but I found my empire [Verse 2 — Double-Time / More Sinister] I’m a problem with posture, a villain with manners A gentleman menace with elegant grammar Got jokes in the darkness, I’m laughing at trauma Turned all of my problems to profitable drama I don’t chase validation, I chase elevation Every setback became a new demonstration I was built in frustration, assembled through patience Now I’m looking at doubt like a minor inconvenience You can keep your advice, I already survived it You can keep your applause, I don’t need to be guided I was there when the room got quiet and divided Now they act like they knew me—conveniently timed it Funny how the same ones who doubted the vision Start calling it genius when they see the precision I don’t hold grudges, I hold exhibitions Put my failures on display like forbidden conditions I’m insane with the pen, but the method is manic Every syllable stacked, every pattern volcanic Got a brain full of schemes and a heart full of damage Made a home out the chaos—now welcome to the planet [Bridge — Slow / Menacing] I don’t need you to believe in me I already believe enough for two I don’t need you to see the vision I just need you to move ‘Cause when the lights go out And everybody disappears I’m still standing in the dark With the same damn dream I had for years [Hook — Bigger] You think you losing it? I been lost my mind I’m here now, don’t check for time Paid in full, I know you lying I shoot my shot, keep firing Motivated myself, how you inspiring? Walk through the flames, came out designing You looking for a spark, I became the fire Lost my mind, but I found my empire [Verse 3 — Double-Time / Final Assault] Now I’m back with a vengeance, attention expensive My patience diminished, my vision tremendous I’m counting my blessings while plotting dimensions You wanted the old me? That version’s suspended I don’t need a co-sign, I don’t need a cosign I already crossed lines that you wouldn’t approach I’m a ghost in the machine with a fist full of hope And a mouth full of quotes that could choke out the doubt I been digging through dirt, came up covered in gold Had to lose what I had just to learn what I hold Had to sleep on the floor just to dream on the road Now the story getting bigger every time that it’s told I’m not bitter, I’m better, the pressure made pressure The pain made me clever, the losses made leverage You measured my worth with a temporary metric I measured my worth by the things I protected So if I look crazy, remember the mission If I move different, respect the decision I don’t need permission, I came with conviction Turned a fractured mentality into perfect composition I was lost—now I’m lethal Was beneath—now I’m equal Was ignored—now I’m speaking And the whole damn room got to listen when I breathe through the speakers [Final Hook] You think you losing it? I been lost my mind I’m here now, don’t check for time Paid in full, I know you lying I shoot my shot, keep firing Motivated myself, how you inspiring? Walk through the flames, came out designing You looking for a spark, I became the fire Lost my mind… [Outro — Spoken] …but I found myself. And that’s worse. [A Million Made Tag]
