funky dl - on ya own lyrics

[intro]

[hook]
i’m on my own trying to live my life the way i want to live it
making ill music and to y’all i want to give it
so these records get made, regardless of the labels
no matter what it takes, i’m putting food on the table
seen so many emcee’s come, so many emcee’s go
they couldn’t rock the mic so they tried to do a show
but over the years, i’ve progressed and grown
trying to say you helped me out, kid- i did it on my own

[verse 1]
now how i’m going to keep you open for the next few minutes
i got something on my mind so people let’s get in it
since way back when the date back, i’m flipping lyrical
as a kid knows nothing, not even spiritual
no direction, dark complexion, always broke, no joke
i tried to spark cigarettes, but couldn’t smoke
lived in ???? didn’t parade in other areas
took a long time for all these peeps to take me serious
hip-hop, from special ed, to krs
these emcee’s could hold a mic the same way, i wish em blessed??
try rhyming with my brother
ain’t nothing but dreams, for the skeeves??
but this world ain’t what it all seems, early teens
still rhyming, but what will it amount to?
sometimes you stand up but no one wants to count you
i used to wish i was a twin and was a clone
cause then i wouldn’t be feel as on my own, word is bond

[hook]

[verse 2]
hip-hop is indispensable
i’ve always something sensible to say
but it wasn’t like that, back in the day
i used to think hip-hop, was about getting props
earning money, mad fame, or climbing to the top
but rappers got a choice
god blessed me with a voice
for me to demonstrate, reach out, and educate
for all these people like me, when i was younger
always had my own views, never stopped to wonder
about any other perspective, my only objective
was to be the d-mn hardest and
do this regardless
and now i got my vision, i know who i be
i’m from the streets, but i speak intelligently
ayo i gots to make dough and live my life
i wanna have the best for my kids and take care of my wife
when that time comes, i can’t be living alone
it’s painful when you feel you’re on your own, word is bond

[hook]

[verse 3]
i recall these people bad mouthing
they the ones who run to the store, when com. sense?? drop the album
never did i know i’d come this far
but like any other young kid, i also wished upon a star
now i part??, with my dj ??
knew each other since ’82, ’83
no phd, no uni degrees
but when it comes from the soul, yo can we please
was a boy, now a man
was old, now i’m older
still young with a good head on my shoulders y’all
i ain’t a king but i sit on my throne
think yo kid, i made this on my own, word is bond

[hook] x2
