Elz invites listeners to gaze into his mirror on “Lose Myself” touching on his insecurities of being apart of the music industry which he said was inspired by a conversation after meeting long time music executive Faith Newman last December. Produced by Flow Clark.

I don’t wanna lose myself in this industry
What they did to my pops, they would do to me
I gotta stay humble, stay out of Queens
I hate Instagram cause they watching me
But I love my life so they gotta see uh
I love my life so they gotta see
I love my life so they gotta see uh
I love my life so they gotta see
(Verse 1)
If Yah ain’t roll it I ain’t gone smoke, If I go to LA I ain’t whiffing coke
Rather live where you gotta zip a coat
Monduck patch, where my muscle go
Biggie died at 24, and I’m almost 25 I
Pac missed 26, so I’m still at risk
Kha copped the Rollie after two businesses
I told him don’t ice it, bust down on a crib
Gotta stay sharp, tickets don’t happen often
One bad turn then it’s back to Saint Albans
Where niggas chasing 40, scarecrow on the corner
I’m scared my old my mans might run up on me
AR put me in his 5 and we never came back
Ima always phone T when I pen new raps ya
He told me stay low, stop tagging where I be
Bentley back up camera on when I’m idle in da V

But I love my life so they gotta see uh

I love my life so they gotta see uh
I love my life so they gotta see
(Verse 2)
I won’t let these niggas fuck my blessings up like the chinese store I never wanna chop it up
I’m under no wings like the rice is done
Learned my lesson, niggas vanish when the skillet hung
Paperwork the devil , pen the shovel
My lawyer powerful, Hope he live forever
I’ll be rich forever, take care my sisters we were broke together
I swear I won’t change if y’all change and I promise
I hate friends who only friends in the comments
Say I got it made , when I was raised like Adonis
Jezell asked Santa for a bed, she share one in the projects
Gotta get her out the projects
I’m not an angel I got tendencies
I’m not going broke I got memories
You don’t gotta faith in me cause Faith Newman got faith in me thankfully
(Hook)
I don’t wanna lose myself in this industry

But I love my life so they gotta see uh
I love my life so they gotta see
I love my life so they gotta see uh
I love my life so they gotta see

Flow (producer) followed me on Instagram back in December of 2018 then I checked out his Soundcloud. Ripped all the beats from his page because I liked how different they sounded the drums and melodies were interesting but they were idle on my computer and phone for a few weeks until I had really to...
I had a meeting with Faith Newman in late December of 2018 and we spoke about music and one of the topics was staying true to yourself in the rap game. A lot of musicians chase being relevant so they compromise what made them originally loved for whats current or quick popularity. Then I just though...
Making this song was pretty easy the writing didn’t take long maybe a night and half a morning the next day then picking the beat wasn’t that hard once I compared Flow’s to the other producer’s. I recored the demo at home first then kept practicing before I took it to the studio. I really wanted to...
This is one of them songs that felt like a page out of my journal. I should keep making music like this I feel better letting my thoughts out and hopefully somebody can relate
