Lost in Denial

(Hello, no one is available to take your call
Please leave a message after the tone)

(Hey man, uhh it's me, Gis just checking in hoping you're alright
Umm you're probably busy at work or something
But yeah man, I know you-you always at you know on the grind, working on you
Umm... but you know, I worry about you sometimes, I don't want you to get too burnt out)

The only thing sadder than death itself
Is the fact that you can't take all the wealth
And all the time spent puttin' in a hard work
Don't mean shit once they put you in the ground earth (yea)
I say that to say this cuz I already know
But will I stop what I'm doing? I don't really know
When my time comes, wonder where will I go
Eternal paradise or be tortured down below
Damn! Bad luck or just lack of faith
God forgives but never overlooks anything
I just hope that the good I do sometimes
Will count for somethin' and if any in His eyes
And if not, then I gotta try harder
But flirting with sin, won't get me any farther
Stuck in the gray, my soul on the line
So even though I ain't, I still say I'm fine (Damn)

(Hey baby. I just wanted to call and see how you are doing
I know you've been going through a lot lately and you feel like the whole world is on your shoulders
And I just wanted you to know that I'm here for you
You're always tryin' to help others because you have such a big heart
And it just breaks my heart to see you do so much and get so little in return
But I want you to know that no matter what obstacles may come your way
That you will always be able to overcome them
Things always seem darkest before the light and it is in those darkest of times that we are pushed to our limits
And it is in those times that you must never give up)

I trade privacy for success
Take that away, and you see there's nothing left
My identity is on display
You want a piece? All you gotta do is push "play" (Yea)
Cuz why hide from the naked truth
I'm no Catholic, but stay confessin' in the booth
Microphone kissin', how I show my love
And headphones hold me tight... like a hug
See music be the one, never do me wrong
And that's the only thing I'm sure of in this song
It's just certain people that I just can't stand
That'll do anything make you less of a man
No, I see it too, but can't avoid
So I deal with the stress, got me so annoyed
Hoping that the grief won't last a while
So if you ask how I'm doin', I'll look up and smile (Damn)

(Hey Saint, what's going on? Like I haven't heard from you in weeks, I've been calling just tryin' to reach out
Last time we spoke, you sounded so down. Like life is just holding you back
Just know that the only way you can go from here is up, literally up
All the greats started from somewhere small and they have it all
I mean look at J, look at everyone. Just the other day, you got artists like
I mean everyone that's making out here, they started from somewhere small
Just know I'm here for you, come back, reach out, stay strong. Alright? We got this)

So don't worry, I'm good, yes I'm okay
If eyes be the window, then I'm rocking shades
So you can't see the truth behind the pain
Lost In Denial, forever I remain
So don't worry, I'm good, yes I'm okay
If eyes be the window, then I'm rocking shades
So you can't see the truth behind the pain
Lost In Denial, forever I remain
I get lost, I get lost, I get lost. Lost In Denial
I get lost, I get lost, I get lost. Lost In Denial
I get lost, I get lost, I get lost. Lost In Denial
I get lost, I get lost, I get lost. Lost In Denial

(Lost... I get so lost sometimes
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
Lost... I get so lost sometimes
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart)
