On My Own

Uh, uh, uh Look Them people around me They couldn't tell how I was livin' Kept to myself They couldn't tell how I was feelin' Fightin' these demons Sometimes it felt like they was winnin' Talkin' to God Sometimes it felt like he ain't listen But it took me some time I had to grow, I did it quickly I was just a child With some killas out to get me When things were lookin' up My depression came and hit me Had me in my room at night Wonderin' why God sent me Now, let me say it simply I was really faithful But every time a jit got ahead He turned the table But every time I fell to my knees I felt more able And every time a door closed on me I was still grateful And ever time I got what I need I'm feelin' thankful Even when the curtain fall down The stage is stable Even if the sun do not shine The dark won't take me If you know my past You should know that you can't break me It seemed like everybody had it good but me They was lovin' but nobody was here for me I was thuggin' on my own when it got ugly Put a wrap all on that like it's a mummy And I can't tell you what I'm really on I'mma prevail, even on my own And I can't fail, so, I gotta stay strong Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, thuggin' on my own It seemed like everybody Had it goin' good No childhood All I ever had was hood I wanted to be different And show the world some good She knew I was from the jungle By the way I carry wood I was always challenged Kept it movin' if I could I was keepin' quiet But made noise in the hood Hustle through the struggle Puttin' it that work Make it out the dirt Before you end up on a shirt I was down bad With the tabs and the syrup And the gas and the work Had my path in a blur I was down bad When a girl broke my heart I was down bad I don't know where to start But don't let them people phase you Don't let 'em change you You gotta maintain through And keep it stable Don't let them people phase you Don't let 'em change you You gotta maintain through And keep it stable It seemed like everybody had it good but me They was lovin' but nobody was here for me I was thuggin' on my own when it got ugly Put a wrap all on that like it's a mummy And I can't tell you what I'm really on I'mma prevail, even on my own And I can't fail, so, I gotta stay strong Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, thuggin' on my own Ayy, I don't really think they Understand what I've been through man Hard times growin' up man I had to grow up quick It really felt like the world was against me It left me with permanent scars man I couldn't even fake this It seemed like everybody had it good but me They was lovin' but nobody was here for me I was thuggin' on my own when it got ugly Put a wrap all on that like it's a mummy And I can't tell you what I'm really on I'mma prevail, even on my own And I can't fail, so, I gotta stay strong Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, thuggin' on my own
