Lost and Found

[Verse 1: Young Malix] I been lost for so long, couldn’t find my way Had to grind through the struggle, but I’m here today Every night felt like a battle, life felt like hell But now I’m standing tall, it’s time to ring the bell Grew up on the block where it’s do or die Could’ve went left, but I chose to fly Ain’t no love here, just pain in the streets Had to hustle hard, couldn’t take defeat Tried to keep my head high, but they pulled me down Seen too many brothers never make it out the town But I kеpt pushing, fuck that, I ain't scared Looked in the mirror, said “Malik, you prеpared.” Lost in the system, but I found my way And now I’m shining brighter, I’m here to stay Every day’s a war, but I’m built for this From the cold winds to the warmth of bliss Chicago raised me, it’s all in my blood Had to fight for everything, that’s just the plug Told myself I wouldn’t quit, not even when it’s tough Had to hustle on my own, never asked for enough But they didn’t want me to win, tried to take my light But I kept my head down, now I’m ready to fight Brothers all around me, but they ain’t show love Had to move on my own, like I was pushed from above Now I’m shining so bright, they all see my glow But they never knew the pain I had to go through, bro Fell off, but I got back on my grind Now they all mad, tryna take what’s mine Used to dream of a life where I could finally breathe Now I’m living my dream, and they still can’t believe Every struggle, every tear, built me up from the ground Now I’m standing tall, I’m the king of my town Ain’t no more looking back, I’m focused on the now And I’ll keep going hard, fuck who’s asking how [Chorus: Lil Durk] I was lost, had to find my way Now I’m here, and I’m fuckin’ here to stay Had to hustle, grind, never gave a shit Came from the bottom, now I’m built for this Ain’t no stopping me now, I’m too legit [Verse 2: Lil Durk] I came from the bottom, where they left me for dead Had to watch my back, keep the heat by the bed Niggas tryna plot, they ain’t wanna see me rise But I’m too smart, I see through the lies They say you ain’t shit, they don’t know what I’m about I kept my head low, now I’m showing them clout Poverty made me, now I’m ready to ball Took losses after losses, but I stood tall They said I wouldn’t make it, fuck what they thought Now I’m in the game, every win that I bought Had to keep my circle tight, trust none of these fools They’ll smile in your face, then switch up the rules But I’m different, I know how to move Kept my mind focused, nothing left to prove Ain’t no love in these streets, just pain and rage But I turned all that shit into fire on the stage Had to grind for every cent, never got no handout Made it through the storm, now I’m showing what I’m about Used to wonder if I’d make it out alive But I kept pushing, now I’m feeling so high I don’t trust too many, that’s just how I live But I give it all, that’s all I can give You can hate all you want, but I don’t give a damn I’m from the bottom, now I’m out here making bands I remember nights I ain’t had shit to eat Now I’m living lavish, they can’t compete Came from the struggle, now I’m shining bright Did it all on my own, no one helped me fight Ain’t no second chances, I’m taking what’s mine You can hate all you want, but I’m still gon’ climb I made it through the pain, now I’m laughing at the hate Put in the work, now I’m reaping what I create Lost so much, but I found my way And now they all see me, they just wanna play [Chorus: Lil Durk] I was lost, had to find my way Now I’m here, and I’m fuckin’ here to stay Had to hustle, grind, never gave a shit Came from the bottom, now I’m built for this Ain’t no stopping me now, I’m too legit
