Hmm-hmhm-hmmm
Hmm-hmhm-hmmmmm
H'riiiiight?
Man my momma gettin' old like I'm always bein' told
Trust me - don't nobody know it more than me
Lummy tore away my soul so I'm better off alone
Nowadays prolly find me in the streets
I done ran away from home
'Cause my daddy ain't believe I could be the man he wanted me to be
I'm on my oooo-own
I'm on my oooo-own
Yeah
Come Lord!
I walk through Hades with guns drawn
My weapons ineffective in the presence of tongue wars
Been dealt the troubles of an older man since a young boy
Does Peter have space in his department for one more?
I'm unsure'cause lately Zay feelin' done for
Got blemishes on my resume
These metaphors my pen adores
They metamorph my calluses into thumb sores
I pen this shit 'til it resonate
And if it don't then I'm solidI write for Kazzy regardless
My biggest flaw's that I'm still at odds with my path and my callin'
My biggest floss is I'm still in charge of the passion I guarded
Ascend to God from the synagogue where I'll pass as a martyr
and pretty soon 'cause I'm exhausted!
And fuck that "sorry for yo' loss" shit!
My sister died in vain
Couldn't no one define the pain if they can't fit the Stephs I walk in?
Oh I forgot
The streets can't empathise with zodie if he play around the North
They thinkin' "so and so his dad"
"So if so and so did so and so"
"And grew up 'round so and so it shouldn't be that bad"
"And so and so was coddled in the neighbourhood of so and sos"
Where strife was but a stranger - what could ever make him sad?"
"And since so and so did well and went to school around so and so"
"His life was never burdened - like what more could he have had?"
Man fuck you!
You should walk a mile in my shoes
And I'll see just how well you cope in a world where you prone to lose
When you think you can make it pro but it's Lucifers fate to choose
So you suddenly break your leg 'cause it's Satan who make the rules (break a leg!)
While you grindin' your way through school in the land where the queen resides
With the girl of your wildest dreams who you'd die for to keep alive
As you skruggle through ups and downs with the hopes of a diamond ring
'Cause you s'posed to reside a king so she's close to the finer things
And you make it with two degrees but those jobs never called you back
'Cause you black and a Southern African graduate
Now you back in the Miz but without a plan
Tryin' to cope with the circumstance
And you ask her to wait for you to return in a moment's chance
And she promises she'll oblige but she's human and cares to grow
So she dabbles with one of ya homies you're cool with from years ago
Who you knew 'cause you shared a high school with dude and were fairly close
Plus he happens to be the ex of her bestie but things evolve
And the rumours'll start to fly but confused as you may become
You maintain the belief her soul wouldn't think to betray ya trust
'Cause you've been through this shit befo'
Like three times and she's always known
But history always tends to repeat 'cause the world is cold
So one day her message come in like "I'm sorry I tried to wait"
"But that future you clingin' onto was honestly my mistake"
Which confirms what the streets assumed
And them tears start to drop and flow
As you fall to your mommas laps and you sobbin' with no control
Now you broken and can't be loved and them years is down the drain
And your bruddan'em calls to say "he proposed and they now engaged"
But the world doesn't let you breathe and won't nobody stop to listen
And that's somethin' you deserved 'cause yo' father's a politician?
I might die for this shit!
Might go outside for this shit!
Point this gun between my eyes and take a life for this shit!
Uh
Man my momma gettin' old like I'm always bein' told
Trust me - don't nobody know it more than me
Lummy tore away my soul so I'm better off alone
Nowadays prolly find me in the streets
I done ran away from home
'Cause my daddy ain't believe I could be the man he wanted me to be
I'm on my oooo-own
I'm on my oooo-own-hmm-hmm-hm
Picture me suit with the tie picture me cap and a gown
Picture me there by myself picture my lack of a smile
Picture me findin' a job picture me turnin' it down
Picture me packin' a bag picture me back in the town
Grabbin' my African crown picture me back in the Miz
Picture me workin' for pops Kaz in the family biz
Picture me rollin' around picture my opps in the loop
Picture my closest of friends schemin' and plottin' a coupe
Picture me losin' a bro picture me losin' a hoe
Picture me chargin' the game picture me movin' along/alone
Picture these snakes in the grass fakin' the jealousy cold
Picture me copin' in clubs makin' that Hennessy flow
Picture the mark on my back picture how far they would go
Picture the minister's kid with folks that he don't even know
Picture me drinkin' this Glen
Picture me dyin' to cope (with that appletiser!)
Picture me sinnin' again
Picture me cryin' for hope (appletiser!)
Picture me broke as a joke picture my head in the clouds
Picture my dad in the mix picture me lettin' him down
Picture me makin' amends
Picture me headed to work
Picture me drivin' the Benz picture that engine go blam!
Picture my levels of shock picture me watchin' it burn
Picture my mothers in tears picture they looks of concern
Picture me laid on the ground picture civilian stares
I ain't gotta picture shit my **** I really was there!
Huh
I done sold away my soul for a lil piece of gold
Now I'm knowin' how I'm sowin' what I reap
And my summers' gettin' cold when there's no one there to hold
Eyes closed but I'm strugglin' to sleep
I done ran away from home
'Cause my daddy ain't believe I could be the man he wanted me to be
I'm on my oooo-own
I'm on my oooo-own-hmm-hmm-hm
Feel a type of way when I need a bit of space
'Cause I'm locked in working movin' in the race
Feel a type of way I been dealin' with this pain
But I'm focused growing changing up my ways
Yeah I'm built that way since my younger days
I would fall I would cry dust it off and pray
Always knew one day I would be this great
But the devil is a liar always playinggames
See I don't reason with evil Istick with my people
The reason I'm breathing Ihad to believe it and feel it
Thenconceal it release it and be it
Movewith caution
The season is heating
So I better start my healing
Take a little bit of peace and mix it with some motion
Now we have a little potion
Loneliness is just devotion
Ayyy
I'm on my own
I'm on my oooo-oo-oo-ooo-oooown
