Chorus
Getting lost in the cause
Lost in my thoughts
Started out working for applause
Then I moved on
Got make a choice you want
Should pursue the life you love
Cause you’re getting tired of
Knowing it’s the cost
With the risk to the toss
On the way to the top
You could fall off
These are the just phases til I pop
They was just waiting to be gone
Everything has a cost
Chorus
Lost in the cause
Lost in my thoughts
Started out working for applause
Then I moved on
Got make a choice you want
Should pursue the life you love
Cause you’re getting tired of
Knowing it’s the cost
With the risk to the toss
On the way to the top
You could fall off
These are the just phases til I pop
You was just waiting to be gone
Everything has a cost
Verse 1
And it’s a lot
I could tell you wanted me to flop
You can tell I’m working for a cause
On my own I’m working nonstop
Do it for my mom for my pops
Show em ain’t no more dealing the cops
Ain’t no more pills I’ma pop
I ain’t need a car or a job
Did it on my own I’m the boss
It’s a sacrifice not a loss
Always put myself on the spot
Yeah, it’s a risk
Guess I’m playing with the odds
You can always play it safe
You could still fall off
No quid pro quo
Them fools get tossed
They were steady tripping up
Only trying to moss
Only getting sauced
Now every lines getting crossed
They just don’t understand the cost
Of it all
Am I too far off?
Or just way too gone?
They would always tell me to move on
Just stop
Take a second wait I got to pause
But we never do because
The laws of life
Determine wrong and right
I just light my light
To ignite this flight
On these lonely nights
Where we could die any time
On this crazy ride
I just go and look em in the eye
Tell em to defy any lies
But realize
This is real life
Chorus
Getting lost in the cause
Lost in my thoughts
Started out working for applause
Then I moved on
Got make a choice you want
Should pursue the life you love
Cause you’re getting tired of
Knowing it’s the cost
With the risk to the toss
On the way to the top
You could fall off
These are the just phases til I pop
They was just waiting to be gone
Everything has a cost
Chorus
Lost in the cause
Lost in my thoughts
Started out working for applause
Then I moved on
Got make a choice you want
Should pursue the life you love
Cause you’re getting tired of
Knowing it’s the cost
With the risk to the toss
On the way to the top
You could fall off
These are the just phases til I pop
You was just waiting to be gone
Everything has a cost
Verse 2
And everybody seems lost
Pretend they get along
But they fought
Pretending that they are
When they’re not
Acting like they’re on when they’re off
They just play the game
Head down always
I was thinking all day
How the hell the we going to stay
How we going to go save the human race
This is just my take on this craze
And the way we behave
In this brand-new wave
Cause honestly
Honesty has gotten lost with speech
I don’t even know what your response could be
I just wanted you to see why they’d leave
Ain’t nobody got dets
How we go along so consciously
Ignoring all this bullshit constantly
Even comedy has got a policy
Too many wannabees just gossiping
I’m cautiously
Calling everything out audibly and
My philosophies were held solidly
In one piece, but without that
I don’t know who I would be
We just got to stay true
With everything we believe
So promise me
You do what you do with no apologies
No hypocrisy
No you ought see
We’re just out here trying to be free
Chorus
Getting lost in the cause
Lost in my thoughts
Started out working for applause
Then I moved on
Got make a choice you want
Should pursue the life you love
Cause you’re getting tired of
Knowing it’s the cost
With the risk to the toss
On the way to the top
You could fall off
These are the just phases til I pop
They was just waiting to be gone
Everything has a cost
Chorus
Lost in the cause
Lost in my thoughts
Started out working for applause
Then I moved on
Got make a choice you want
Should pursue the life you love
Cause you’re getting tired of
Knowing it’s the cost
With the risk to the toss
On the way to the top
You could fall off
These are the just phases til I pop
You was just waiting to be gone
Everything has a cost
