On My Own

All of my life I've felt alone I do it all on my own My own my own It's been a long time coming But I still got so far to go You can't tell me nothing You ain't never been down this road That's the whole damn point This is my life, my grind, my show Yeah I do it for myself So I can give it all back, to you, though Every coin got two sides It don't matter where you come from Where you live, where you going Where you've been, what you've done Everybody means something to someone You don't know what I've been through What it took for me to get here So, before you talk down on my name You should take a hard look at yourself in the mirror, though I ain't perfect, and, neither are you But, you deserve it, and I feel like I do too I put the work in So, tell me what's stopping you I found purpose I just want you to know that you can too All of my life I've felt alone I do it all on my own My own my own All of my life I've felt alone I do it all on my own My own my own Most people would agree That our world is going to shit But it's not your fault I guess it's just everybody else's What have you done lately That doesn't only fit your needs I bet you never once thought "Hmm, maybe that shit is on me" When they going to learn that we all on the same team Imagine if we all shared John's dream Can you even start to tell me What it would be like if the whole world was at peace I didn't think so No, I probably couldn't either But, that doesn't mean we shouldn't try They call me a dreamer I call me believer Step up to the plate, be the change that you want to see Have the courage to become what you can be I never said it would be easy But it'll be worth it, believe me I'ma do it by myself if I have to I've always seen the glass as half full I'm a self taught activist No, this ain't the type of shit you gon learn in a classroom All of my life I've felt alone I do it all on my own My own my own All of my life I've felt alone I do it all on my own My own my own
