"On Your Own" lyrics
(feat. Deante' Hitchcock)
[REASON:]
Yeah, soul
You left me on my own, only helped and inspired me
I thought I'd be depressed but it felt like a finally
Been travelin', I'm flyin' 'bout as much as the time be
Hopin' that whatever's out there for me'll find me
I gave up tryna prove that I'm the greatest
I just celebrate the love but it took a couple deaths to remind me
Provin' people wrong that hate you with some irony
For every time you think you Michael Jordan
It's a troll that's gon' tell you that you Conley
Dinner with a model while she ask me what my sign be
You can never tell my future from what my birthdate is
My price raisin', I teach inflation
Look, I knew you didn't know me when you hit me askin' me if I was good
If you did, you would've called and said congratulations
I stood with you when your world was up for detonation
You showed your true colors, then it led to segregation
Look, I told you I be patient but I wasn't waitin'
Too much in store in my destinations
It's people in my past that's been claimin' that I owe 'em, so they envy
I'm a twin so of course I'm used to people growin' with me
Paranoid, couple niggas want me dead that was with me
Velcro, it's a strap, got a stick when it get sticky
So focused on my dreams that I lost a couple homies
And it took a few years for the shit to finally hit me, shit
It's like the only one I can call is my own number
Been gassin' for years and still, my stove runnin'
Been chasin' for years, feel like that roadrunner
But I'm gon' do it 'til my homecomin'
Thank God for them obstacles that got me freed up
Thankful for them long, starving nights 'cause I feed from it
Never know how smooth the road is without the speedbumps
Niggas only tappin' in with me when they need somethin', soul
[Deante' Hitchcock:]
Ayy, hmm, yeah, look, look
All of my life, I done been searchin' for somethin'
I know all of this ain't for nothin', I been workin' for somethin', right?
They try to treat us like we worthless or somethin'
Turnin' they nose up and actin' like they perfect or somethin'
I learned a lot of shit ain't even worth a discussion
I ain't fussin' with ya and I can't do no huffin' and puffin'
When they folded on me, I learned from it, made the adjustments
Now if it's fuck it, then it's fuck it, I ain't sorry for nothin', I'm good
Niggas be hoes, don't compare me to those
On my soul, my name good in every area code
I hit the road, struck gold, chasin' various goals
But when it rained back home, I was there with the bros
My dawg say the Most High just a [?]
Don't believe in God because his momma play with her nose
I say we got a date with destiny, bury your woes
He told me she could always stand us up, nigga, stay on your toes
Maybe I climb 'cause I'm afraid of the lows
Gapin' holes in dark places validation'll close
Or is that a route I mistakenly chose?
A mindset in which my whole generation enclosed?
It's certain needs in this life you would think we outgrown
What's evolution, though? Really, we just apes in some clothes
I'm askin' God to guide me, I'm just makin' it known
I surrender, bruh, I done made enough mistakes on my own
Order my steps
Yeah, soul
You left me on my own, only helped and inspired me
I thought I'd be depressed but it felt like a finally
Been travelin', I'm flyin' 'bout as much as the time be
Hopin' that whatever's out there for me'll find me
I gave up tryna prove that I'm the greatest
I just celebrate the love but it took a couple deaths to remind me
