[Intro: NJ Threat] Land of da lost I'm talking land of da lost [Verse 1: NJ Threat] I know n***as runnin' from [?], still can't find their way out Haters and broke n***as trying to see how it play out Now that your pockets swell, n***a, what is yo' goals?

Blind leading the blind, homie serving his moms He said it must be the money like Deion in his prime We come from a different fabric and far from aristocratic Can't turn your back on these n***as, they might stab it I'm feeling like damn as we cursed from a hex And if it's not bulletproof, n***as ain't tryin' to invest In our beautiful Black sisters who's supposed to be queens Gettin' dollars stuck in their a** like a vending machines [Hook] Land of da lost I'm talking land of da lost We are soldiers tryin' to become a boss But the wrong move can get yo' a** soft, n***a Land of da lost I'm talking land of da lost We are soldiers tryin' to become a boss But the wrong move can get yo' a** soft, n***a [Verse 2: Jadakiss] Land of da lost Started off doing stamps, turned into a boss Got his hands on some grams, turned into a Porsche They was there to snort, all your mans on the stand when you appear in court Pointin' at you like, "Yeah, there go the boss" They tellin' everything with no remorse n***as that you used to brag about and show 'em off You tried to put him on, guess they tried to throw him off f**ery on the inside The line between love and hate, you on the thin side Especially now knowing that none of your men ride Hands on the cross, land of da lost Welcome to the... [Hook] Land of da lost I'm talking land of da lost We are soldiers tryin' to become a boss But the wrong move can get yo' a** soft, n***a Land of da lost I'm talking land of da lost We are soldiers tryin' to become a boss But the wrong move can get yo' a** soft, n***a [Verse 3: NJ Threat] Wasn't astonished by Jay and Dame's relationship when it changed Cause in my hood, mothaf**as was doing the same See my homie in the club, poppin' bottles ain't nothin' Couldn't even pay rent tryin' to keep up with that hype They say watch where you give advice, a lot of people can't take it Nowadays they get it misconstrued thinkin' is hatin' Kids be k**in' each other [?] over something petty Could've avoid it, but he let him gas 'em like the getty [?] these [?] be k**in' me, a damn know it all Watchin' any and everything but our f**ing cholesterol They question my integrity and ask me how can I ball Slinging that poison in that hood, but where the hell was y'all When my pops was on it, and my aunts was on it When they had company, it looked like their house was haunted From [?] twitch [?], sniffin' up the raw s**in' that gla** thick, the weirdest sh** I ever saw As genocide run deep, it's hard for us to be reached Rather listen to Nicki Minaj than a Farrakhan speech My cousin doin' 30 split for a crime he ain't commit Instead of tryin' to get her a pill, he worried 'bout other sh** Lost...

We are the rebels with the cause. The Black woman and the Black man must unite side by side building strong Black families for a strong global pan-African revolution. Brothers and sisters from Los Angeles; Houston; Newark, New Jersey; Philadelphia; Wilmington, Delaware, all across this country and all across the world we must come together This is the land of the lost, but this is not the land of the lost cause
