Will Smith- Lost + Found Lyrics


Recommended Posts

Do you know what it mean when you see a dude chick on TV gleamin

:thumb: this should be right ..

What it means when (you're?) on the screen and the audience hardly ??
'What it means to be on the screen and in the audience hardly beamin' '

I must have a S on my chest i recovered from the wild wild west, yes

Yo, ive been up to ??????

'I must have a S on my chest i recovered from the wild wild west, yes

Yo, ive been up to creek without a pattern .. knock em back in the sand'

Fat ugly chicks in New York on the radio sayin im gay

I had a ???

sounds kinda like 'i had a bonified downstop frown with the swagga not around in my life' (whatever this 'bonified' means :) )

Bank account (found?) minimal amounts when counting because my ? ex-wife

'Bank account .. found .. minimal amounts when counting because my .. now .. ex-wife'

I had a (doorpick dwarf? :P) and all that and ?? and all that fallin
'I had a door .. thick walls .. and all that and door pitfalls and all that fallin'

im not sure with all of em but a few of them should be right :kekeke:

I may be wrong but i was thinking instead of "audience hardly beaming" i thought it was "Ali beaming" i could be wrong. also instead of

'I must have a S on my chest i recovered from the wild wild west, yes

Yo, ive been up to creek without a pattern .. knock em back in the sand'

i was thinking it was

'I must have a S on my chest i recovered from the wild wild west, yes

Yo, ive been up to creek without a paddle .. now i'm back in the saddle'

just my input :)

Thanks for those lyrics Lhunagar, you did a great job. Just a few corrections in bold, but for the most part, everything was on point. Guys, tell me if I myself made any mistakes.

6. Lost & Found

Original: a first form from which varieties arise;

an authentic work of art as a opposed to an imitation or reproduction

Why should I try to sound like y'all sound?

That's what's wrong with the rap game right now!

Man it's like a circus with a bunch of clowns

with a bunch of cliques I'd probably rap circles around!

I spit heat rock and I ain't talkin rollin'

Soon as the beat knock im crowd controllin'!

When I hear ya'll, thats an awful sound

I don't ride beats I take 'em of the ground

land 'em somewhere to show 'em the town

even on foreign ground let 'em know I'm around!

I don't follow everybody when it's time to rap

at one time everybody thought the world was flat

sounds like you that was my intention

I paid dues now dudes pay attention

I live for it even though the flicks is hittin

crib's sick you can see the booth from the kitchen

speak on it cuz I saw it happen

this is hip hop dog I ain't just rappin

y'all lookin at a real MC

man you couldn't check a mic for me

Why should I try to sound like y'all sound?

Thats whats wrong with the rap game right now!

Why should I try to flow the way y'all flow

or do a show like ya'll show

Na .. that ain't where my head at now

Ya'll in the hip hop lost and found

Thats what's wrong with the rap game right now!

Man its like a circus with a bunch of clowns

with a bunch of cliques I'd probably rap circles around

Let's talk about rhyme capability

Let's talk about hip-hop versatility

Let's talk about takin' the game beyond

how the hell we going to have a battle of wits

Trick you unarmed

Let's talk about love for the game

I mean real love, back before there was fame

I'm real with it and I ain't claimin' to reign

But when y'all talk about rap y'all gonna start sayin my name

For real though, I ain't playin

Plenty of y'all love a brother, just to scared to say it

Yo, the first ever rap grammy

Lets talk about the only reason your ass went to Miami

Yup! Truck with rims (check),

Throw back Jersey (check),

Champagne bottles (check),

Lots of models... Damn

That's the list for ninety percent of ya'll videos and songs, am I wrong!

Why should I try to sound like y'all sound?

That's what's wrong with the rap game right now!

Why should I try to flow the way y'all flow

or do a show like ya'll show

Na .. that ain't where my head at now

Ya'll in the hip hop lost and found

That's what's wrong with the rap game right now!

Man it's like a circus with a bunch of clowns

With a bunch of cliques I'd probably rap circles around!

Lost (lost) when you're a slave to the biz,

with no care for the cost or what you sayin to kids

Found (found) is when your lyrics are test in time

and your mom hear that your spirit is blessed divine

Lost (lost) is when you rhyme till your throat get sore

but you don't even believe what you say no more

Found (found) is when you bleed hard into the mic

and the pain you sustain, it can change your life

Lost is you when hide behind the freedom a speech

well sure you are free to do it

but what it means to do it

did you mean to do it

or did you need to do it

did you take time to think about the seeds you ruin

Found is Esco dead prez 'n' 'em

Found is Lauryn Hill, Found is Rakim

Found could be you if you felt the message and ask yourself this question:

Why should I try to sound like y'all sound?

That's what's wrong with the rap game right now!

Why should I try to flow the way y'all flow

or do a show like ya'll show

na .. that ain't where my head at now

ya'll in the hip hop lost and found

That's what's wrong with the rap game right now!

Man it's like a circus with a bunch of clowns

with a bunch of cliques I'd probably rap circles around!

Why should I try to sound like y'all sound?

That's what's wrong with the rap game right now!

Why should I try to flow the way y'all flow

na .. that ain't where my head at now

ya'll in the hip hop lost and found

That's what's wrong with the rap game right now!

Man it's like a circus with a bunch of clowns

with a bunch of cliques I'd probably rap circles around!

correccted tell me why lyrics

Will Smith feat. Mary J Blige - Tell Me Why

(Mary J Blige)

Why x5

CHORUS:

I really wish I could explain it baby (Why)

It's just the world is kinda crazy baby (Why)

Ain't no pretty way to paint it baby (Why)

Don't cry, dry your eyes

Verse 1:

September 11th I woke up about 7am

West coast time, french toast and my turkey benedict

Takin' my time awakin' turnin' my TV on

To my surprise saw what everybody in the world saw

Me and my children and my Jiz were chillin'

My son said, "daddy were there people in that building?"

A cold sweat, frozen with a lump in my chest

I heard his question, couldn't bring my lips to say yes to him

That night at my son's side he cried and prayed

For the ones who died in the World Trade

His palms to God, seeds and quams with God he just

Kept on pressin' me he wanted to know why then

One week later our bombs were dropped we seein' them

On CNN, they just won't stop

The infrared, images of brutal attack

He said "daddy now we killin' them back"

Right, right

CHORUS X2

(Mary J Blige)

Souls are captured

Dreams are stolen

Bonds are broken

Evil blatanly rewarded

Case surrender

Love exalted

Hope belated

Negativity is shooting

Verse 2:

Eyes to God why is the mom always gettin' the last word

And why did her uncles have to molest her

And why did all them cops have to be shootin' to kill

And why did all them priests have to act so ill

Tell me why did James Byrd Jr. had to be touched

Tell me why did Malcom and Martin depart from us

Tell me why did the sniper make that little boy shoot

And why is human life always denied for loot

Tell me why did Mandela have to live in a cage

Why did my brother Sterling had to die at that age

Tell me why did Reginald Denny deserve his fate

And why the f*** can't love seem to defeat hate

Tell me why is it so hard for all the children to eat

Why did 'Pac and Biggie Smalls have to fall on the street

Tell me why did Jam Master Jay have to go that way

Please, what am I supposed to say to my kids when they say

CHORUS X2

Verse 3:

Can't explain it baby life is just really crazy

I mean if this world war's order life of a little baby

We got more stores than they got rice under booty lazy

You live four scores and still it be drivin' you crazy

But for me I try to see the button side

Sometimes it be like the goodness be tryin' to hide

Or tryin' to flee

But it can't it's deep inside

Sweetie you be the light for others make 'em believe in God

(Mary J Blige)

Souls are captured

Dreams are stolen

Bonds are broken

Evil blatanly rewarded

Case surrender

Love exalted

Hope belated

Negativity is shooting

Are you guys reading what this man is spittin. Staight hip hop. Old school mixed with the new, spitting knowledge, truth, positivity, and introspection. This is almost unheard of. Man, I hope he doesn't leave hip hop for too long when he hits the movies again. I love the movies, he's killin it, but rap needs him right now man.

I totally agree u! :thumb:

Me and my children and my Jiz were chillin'
Me and my children, images were chillin'
