Lost in My Head
Journey from Struggle to Triumph: Deuce Flame's Lost in My Head
Lyrics
I was lost in my head for a minute
I experienced a period of confusion and introspection.
I was lost in my head for a minute
Reiteration of feeling lost and overwhelmed in one's thoughts.
I was tryna be a boss but wasn’t winning
I aspired to be a leader but faced challenges and wasn't succeeding.
I had lost all my faith and my vision
I lost belief in myself and my goals.
Get up off yo ass boy you tripping
A call to action to overcome inertia and take charge.
Marathon not a race why you sprinting
Life is a long journey, don't rush through it.
I was fighting with some demons Sonny Liston
A reference to a struggle with personal challenges akin to a fight with Sonny Liston.
The other side was tryna talk I wouldn’t listen
Ignoring advice or perspectives from others.
I had my focus on the ice and tryna glisten
My focus was on materialistic pursuits, trying to shine.
Them niggas tried to tell me something different pay attention
Being warned to pay attention to different perspectives.
I knew it had to be a reason why I wasn’t winning
A recognition that there must be a reason for not succeeding.
Niggas talking grind but didn’t hustle 'til the finish
Critiquing those who talk about grinding but don't work hard until the end.
Now I’m Popeye tryna hustle bout my spinach
Transformation into someone focused on success, like Popeye hustling for spinach.
Writing all these bars til my niggas outta prison
Committed to writing and creating while friends are incarcerated.
I done came down from the H without a penny
Overcoming difficulties, possibly financial, after coming from a challenging place.
Now a nigga mobbing in LA like I'm Lynching
Thriving in Los Angeles, possibly overcoming struggles.
Focus on my gift I’m the closest thang to Christmas
Focusing on one's unique talent, feeling like a special gift (Christmas reference).
I’m tryna get some green in this bitch I’m out here grinchin
Desire to make money, even if it means being perceived as greedy (Grinch reference).
Smoking on that green 'til a nigga in submission
Indulging in marijuana but not yielding to external pressures.
But I don’t be submitting, Imma leave that to them bitches
Refusing to submit or conform, leaving that behavior to others.
I'm all about my money I ain’t worried bout these women
Prioritizing financial success over romantic relationships.
The OG's told me they gone come to those who’s winning
Wisdom from older individuals about success favoring the determined.
So I ain’t even tripping, Naw I didn’t
Not letting setbacks bother or disturb.
Southside nigga game over Lil Flip it
Identifying with the Southside and asserting victory akin to Lil Flip.
Southside nigga so you know I’m still tipping
Asserting one's origin and success, a reference to "Still Tippin'" by Mike Jones.
I had to focus on the muhfucking mission
Recommitting to the main goal or purpose.
I was lost in my head for a minute
Reiteration of being lost in one's thoughts.
I was lost in my head for a minute
Continued reflection and introspection.
I was tryna be a boss but wasn’t winning
Re-emphasizing the desire for leadership and success.
I had lost all my faith and my vision
Repeating the theme of losing faith and vision.
Get up off yo ass boy you tripping
A reminder to overcome inertia and take control.
Marathon not a race why you sprinting
Reiteration of the idea that life is a marathon, not a sprint.
Flame Daddy
Conclusion with a self-identifying nickname, "Flame Daddy."
