"Lost / Sun Comes Up"

feat. Jackson Lee Morgan

[Part I: LOST]

[Verse: Macklemore]
I wonder what celebrities will tweet "R.I.P."
When it's announced that I'm dead on TMZ
Bury me with a million likes
And put me in the algorithm like a million times
Across the table from my girl and don't look in her eyes
She's gotta compete with me lookin' at these other lies
Uh-oh, what I would trade for the dollar sign
Tag me so I can be happy, get a follow, guys, like and subscribe
I don't need Funk Flex to drop a bomb on this
I need some influencers on TikTok, you bitch
I made a whole ass album, I worked hard on it
Fifteen tracks, we don't last fifteen seconds
We got A.D.D and if it's passed that we exit
We just stare at memes, laugh, and we hit the next one
And our self esteem is so messed up and threatened
By other people's means and their perceived successes
The likes ain't hittin' like they used to
Textin' while I'm drivin' and I can't connect to Bluetooth
Tell me to engage, post more to get the views, dude
Keep up with the new dudes
You really need a news crew just to trend on YouTube
We're obsessed with our public image
More than stayin' connected to our fuckin' spirit
And if you listen nowadays, you can fuckin' hear it
Same drums, same melodies, and fuck the lyrics

[Chorus: Macklemore]
Scroll (Scroll), refresh (Refresh), turn it off (Yep)
Now do it again, that's the dance now
Scroll (Scroll), refresh (Refresh), turn it off (Yep)
Now do it again, that's the dance now
Lost (Bam-bam, ba-dum-bam), lost (Bam-bam, ba-dum-bam)
Lost (Bam-bam, ba-dum-bam), lost (Bam-bam, ba-dum-bam)
Scroll (Scroll), refresh (Refresh), turn it off (Yep)
Now do it again, that's the dance now
Scroll (Scroll), refresh (Refresh), turn it off (Yep)
Now do it again, that's the dance now

[Part II: SUN COMES UP]

[Chorus: Jackson Lee Morgan]
It's gettin' darker outside, these insomnia nights
So call me in the mornin' when the light wakes up
Let me know I'm alright
My million mile an hour mind, let's my insecurities drive
So call me in the mornin' when the light wakes up
Let me know I'm alright

[Verse: Macklemore]
Been tryna fill that void
I been tryna purchase joy
I been tryna fill the space inside, quiet the noise
My friends dyin' off those opioids
So say a couple Hail Marys for my friends
The ones reachin' for Heaven but who never got in
I wake up and say a couple prayers under my breath
And then I get on my phone and check all my DMs
Like, "What kind of life is this?"
Lookin' up the ladder and I'm wonderin' how high it is
If I only had this and that I'd be alright again
Social status and all of the power in the fight against
Feelin' like my life ain't shit
Lookin' in the mirror, like, "What happened to us?"
Got distracted, acting like, maybe I could buy love
The lies the mind weaves as we run through the mud
Thinking that who I am today isn't enough, fill the void

[Outro: Jackson Lee Morgan & Macklemore]
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm alright
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm alright
