coldplay12 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Artist: Coldplay Title : Lost +(Feat Jay-Z) Album - Prospekt's March EP Just because I'm losing Doesn't mean I'm lost! Doesn't mean I'll stop Doesn't mean I'm across Just because I'm hurting Doesn't mean I'm hurt Doesn't mean I don't get what I deserved No better and no worse I just got lost Every river that I tried to cross Every door I ever tried was locked Oh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off You might be a big fish In a little pond Doesn't mean you've won 'Cause a long may come A bigger one And you'll be lost Every river that you tried to cross Every gun you ever held went off Oh and I'm just waiting until the firing stopped Oh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off [Jay-Z] Aha, I gotcha, uh... With the same sword they knight you, they gon' good night you with Shit, that's only half if they like you That ain't even the half what they might do Don't believe me, ask Michael C. Martin, see Malcolm See Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome See Jesus, see Judas See Caesar, see Brutus, see success is like suicide Suicide, it's a suicide If you succeed, prepare to be crucified Media meddles, niggaz sue you, you settle Every step you take, they remind you you're ghetto So it's tough being Bobby Brown To be Bobby then, you have to be Bobby now And the question is, "Is to have had and lost Better than not having at all?" Because I'm... Oh and I, just waiting 'til the shine wears off Oh and I, just waiting 'til the shine wears off **lolo** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowbug Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 this has been bugging me... Do you think he says C. Martin or See Martin? as in MLK Jr.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illuvcoldplay Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I think he mean Martin Luther King, because if you look at the other names made reference to , you can see that Marin Luther is very appropriate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigC Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Haha! Yeah that makes more sense :lol: Although i too thought upon first hearing it that they were making a reference to Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noonsun Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 The officialy discograpy thing they've started says See Martin. Probably Martin Luther King, yeah. Plus I don't think Chris would let them stick in a reference to him like that. And he doesn't really fit in with them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illuvcoldplay Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 With the same sword they knight you, they gon' good night you with Shit, that's only half if they like you That ain't even the half what they might do Don't believe me, ask Michael C. Martin, see Malcolm See Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome See Jesus, see Judas See Caesar, see Brutus, see success is like suicide Suicide, it's a suicide Its like look at the price you pay for success... The same sword they knight you they gonna kill you with look at all the greats who are all gone now because of what they believed and stood for but in the end Martin Luthers dream and Malcom's came true ( President of the United Stated Barak Obama) and Pac and Biggies music lives on and they are still considered as the greatest rappers of all time and that itself shows us that nothing is LOST..... And the question is, "Is to have had and lost Better than not having at all?" Because I'm.. If Tupac and Martin and Bigge were alive and knew their outcome I believe that they do it all over again so it is better to have had and LOST better than not having at all..... but success is like suicide because from the time you do reach the top then everyone wants to see you fail.. fall.... be bought down... so as Jay Z says if you succed prepare to be crucified because its inevitable Maybe that's why Chris is just waiting till the firing starts cause he knows its gonna happen...... but he's not gonna be LOST after all with or without him his music will live on and on forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonsu Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I like the rap a lot now now, in terms of pacing and rhyme, I feel like it adds a lot to the song. But, I really find the 'niggaz/s' reference unsettling in any sort of song, let alone a Coldplay one. Also, who is the Michael reference to? Surely not Jackson?

illuvcoldplay Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 lets say it is about Micheal Jackson cant you see what succes has turned him into and the media has made a mess of the guy. so for michael sucess was more than suicide and i think that he would also fit into the context of the song. lets not get into an argument about other things about Michael or what he has done to himself... but rather focus on the points related to the song and yes when you succeed like he has then you gotta perpare to be crucified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illuvcoldplay Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 well unless you were there with him in the room then you have no proof of your allegations and the last child confessed that he was coerced into saying those things...... again i aint even going there on the Michael thing... this discussion is about LOST+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
