Intro: Guru



doing it in the house like this

going out to the lost souls

doing this for you and yours

comin' straight to you from the Guru and the crew



Chorus: Guru



to the lost souls

I hope you find your way someday

that's why I sit and I pray

for the lost souls

I hope you find your way someday

that's why I sit and I pray



Verse 1: Guru



sometimes I wonder why

some people can't see what's beyond the naked eye

so therefore I must fortify

techniques of communication

for beyond what is considered to be

normal conversation

so I need some proper 'ticipation

am I giving what you need

yes true indeed

as greed grows like weed

many bad seeds start to contaminate the crop

I think that needs to stop hops

brothers are slain over respect and clout

while thier mothers're trying to figure out

what's it all about

but when you give up on self that's when you lost

cause you're playing with your life

like it's a coin toss



Chorus



Verse 2: Guru



no doubt I release a form of speech

relative to urban outreach

transmitted messages to each true listener

rhymes divine but rough

like the skin on blisters

cause the truth hurts

plus I got no time for runnin' around chasin' skirts

so see my sound is a corrector

a profound lecture

quality texture

that's because of what I see

alot of mc's are gassed like hellium

word up g

alot of people in general are straight up no good

makes me wanna shoot 'em

aiyo maybe I should

but instead I parlay

maintain self control

and say a prayer for the lost souls



Chorus



Verse 3: Guru



get up stand up

come on

stand up for your right

one two

I go to new heights with my insight

whipping my mic tight

with the height of a scholar

equipped with the gift to make crazy dollars

but that ain't the whole

see my heart is in it

that's the only way one could even attempt to win it

dj spin it while others critique

but the science makes 'em weak

check the words that I speak

see it's ridiculous for us

not to discuss

the real issues

like all you phonys

and why I dis you

dismiss you as a lost soul



Chorus



Outro: Jason Kay of Jamiroquai/Guru



if you don't watch where you step

you can become indirect

and you know that you will lose your soul

and if you truly want to lose

until there's nothing to choose

then you know that you will lose your soul



to the lost soul

I hope you find your way someday

so I sit and I pray

for the lost soul

I hope you find your way someday



lose it

you can lose it

you can lose it

you can lose your soul



to the lost soul



hope you find your way



I hope you find your way someday
