so gone

Singer: legend, john

i'm a do my thing

i'm a do

i'm a do

i'm a do my thing

i was born at the end of december

not afraid that the cold of the winter

would keep me inside

hey

ever since mama left me at home

i had to search for a class of my own

and go there in my mind

i had a dream like dr. king

i had a song i had to sing

and i knew it wasn't make believe

when the teacher said to me

baby

who do you wanna be

said i don't know but i know that i'm a gonna leave

i'm so gone

all i do is walk alone

i'm so gone

i can make it on my own

alright

everybody wanna follow the crowd

but i belong in the front singing loud

and i'll go solo

hey

but the fame is a hell of a temptress

not my wife but i guess she's a mistress

oh

can i let her go

she can play tricks on your mind

have you leave your soul behind

she's turned some niggas out

but she can't keep her spell on me

she can't keep back mailing me

i'm free to leave

to be just me

i'm so gone

all i do is walk alone

i'm so gone

i can make it on my own

so many

tryna be somebody else

i've got my own lane

hope you wish my well

i'm so gone

all i do is walk alone

i'm so gone

i can make it on my own

i'm so gone

all i do is walk alone

i'm so gone

i can make it on my own

if i fall then let me fall

yea yea yea

oh cause i only got myself to blame

oh it's just me

all i do is walk alone
