born alone

it's been a long road

lord

it's been a long road

and i'm still feelin' like i'm so far from home

could you help me just rest my bones

and could you help me not feel so alone

came into this world burnin' bright

runnin' fast

i had everything to gain

the whole world in my hand

i was so damn tough that you couldn't tell me nothin'

fightin' and cussin'

got me hand-cuffed and

threw my ass in prison

settled in hells kitchen

how i treated women

i just called 'em all bitches

except my momma

she stayed through my whole conviction

i did my time

they let me out

it's time to get it

all alone and i'ma die alone

all that matters is what happens in between

yea

and all i know in a world so cold

everything ain't always what it seems

oh no

hit the ground runnin'

ain't that somethin'

take a look at me

i don't want the world

i want the world and all it took from me

you ain't gettin' shit for free so you ain't gettin' shit from me

grew up speakin' freely about freedom bein' the shit to me

guy on top

live long enough to fall

everybody drop around me but i'm still here through it all

history in the makin'

if you want it then you go and take it

from the bottom to the top

first they love you then they hate you

they they judge you when they hang you

just because they can't hang

the ones that send you praises throw dirt on your damn name

they ain't got the heart to live and that's a damn shame

waitin' on the day to throw dirt on your damn grave

all alone and i'ma die alone

all that matters is what happens in between

yea

and all i know in a world so cold

everything ain't always what it seems

oh no

it's been a long road

lord

it's been a long road

and i'm still feelin' like i'm so far from home

could ya help me just rest my bones

and could you help me not feel so alone

all alone and i'ma die alone

all that matters is what happens in between

yea

and all i know in a world so cold

everything ain't always what it seems

oh no

all alone and i'ma die alone

all that matters is what happens in between

yea

and all i know in a world so cold

everything ain't always what it seems

oh no
