Текст песни Lost Souls - Sun Light

I done had a lot of different groups of friends
Used to spend school recess shooting hoops with them
Few of them I hold profusely on a looser thread
But the cooler men, I know I'll rule with them up to the end
I didn't realize how much you people meant to me
Until our final years and that's when it clicked mentally
From goofing 'round in class as time would pass inevitably
To going different ways with our lives ahead of us separately
Rap in vision, I was thinking of dipping restriction and
I wanted to drop out and work my shifts in this curriculum
By the end of Year 10, all I needed was the simple things
Add, subtract and multiply, not thinking what division meant
Without my friends I wouldn't have a win through the depression and
I wouldn't be cemented in a circle of respect and it's
The last two years of school that taught me the morals I'm living with
That's not even mentioning the English

I had conversations with my teachers on my literacy skills
I think of it still, the memories so vividly real
It's giving me chills, the time I sat in History
Just scribbling syllables and different things and it would appeal
To Mr -, and he'd tell the other kids that its real
That any random word I heard and that I'd think it was ill
I'd scrawl it on my piece of paper in the hopes of one day reaching
In my vault and picking something out to finish the build
But that was my advantage in class, I rhymed lots
So when it came to showing skills on the court, I was lost
Dribble the ball with some friends, I knew I wasn't tall but
I thought I was quick enough, but I sucked at jump shots
When the first one got their license we would storm the car lot
During the break and take a trip to go and fill our lunchbox
Bumping Juice WRLD, Pop Smoke and Jelly Roll
In those moments time stopped, man, all the stories I've got

And I remember running when we got back to the schoolyard
Trying to avoid the teachers, peeking from the dashboard
Timing our runs so we could pass through
Without a word said, but there were times where we got caught
And I remember the minute we graduated, we dipped
We all ran to our cars, a smile plain on our lips
The first place we thought of going was to Macca's
Because since we got our license, that's where we were always taking our trips
I ain't lying when I say that's when I felt I'm the freest
No responsibilities for a lil' second of freedom
After being tied down for twelve years now we're leaving
Was like standing front of the doors of life and turning the key in
I was determined to be in the stu', verses and beats and
I was rehearsing my speech when all of the words were completed
But it took a long time to get back up on my feet
After the goal of graduating school was no longer needed
And man, I felt so defeated

I think its cause I wasn't seeing my friends everyday
And had to start my journey on the go
No one from my town was tryna make it as a rapper
So instead of building knowledge as a team, I'm learning on my own
That's the definition of a lost soul
Someone wandering 'round aimlessly
Not knowing where they got to go
I've got to hand it to myself for learning how to write a song
Cause if my words ain't on an instrumental, I am awkward, bro
Certain skills that never got be discovered
Talking to people on the daily 'bout a whole variety of subjects
Now I ain't even got the time to go and see my brother
Happy when we greet each other cause there'll never be another

It's sorta the same with my friends nowadays
Everybody's got their own battles to win, I'm afraid
Of what we'll be like when we're older and our family's established
Will we gather with each other still and treat it like it matters
Guess we will never know while we're still climbing up the ladder
Gotta be at the peak to really have a look back at it
We just gotta enjoy the time while we still have it
Later on in life, we'll all be bois like nothing ever happened
I don't wanna be a lost soul, wandering around
A bunker in the ground, scared and always covering my sound
Got to embrace the long road I'm stumbling right down
Scrawl 'em and write down the lyrics til I'm fossil in the ground
I hope you're proud
