(Hook) I was born alone, I'ma die alone... I was born alone, I'ma die alone (hey) I was born alone, I'ma die alone.... I was born alone, I'ma die alone (hey)
(Verse 1) Not to confuse bein' alone wit bein' lonely, 'cause if you knew the old me you would know what I know and what I know is that I never, ever minded being the one and only. That resided in my company, didn't know it at the time, but this ensured that the bullshit from others could never fuck wit' me... I was born alone, I'ma die alone. I been a lone-star since I left the womb May stay that way til I reach the tomb. Either way my mission must resume, like meditation in a crowded room. I aint anti-social, I'm just pro-solitude got no time for chickens wit attitudes or dudes who act rude. I'd much rather prepare lyrical brain food, gettin' ya mind right, intellect in the mood (uh) Bargin' in, but please pardon my intrusion, clearin any necessary confusion through it all remember that it's only an illusion, make way full speed straight ahead then I'm crusin'. Make peace with this one simple fact, that no matter where I'm at, there will always be me. So embrace who I am with full vision I can see, so I'm good bruh.
(Hook) I was born alone, I'ma die alone... I was born alone, I'ma die alone (hey) I was born alone, I'ma die alone.... I was born alone, I'ma die alone (hey)
(Verse 2) I...I was born alone and I'ma die alone, somewhere in between I'll find a tribe to roam but aint nothin' wrong with learning to find your own. Had to embrace standin on my own two, tryna push through even on days I don't want to. Looking myself in the face like "what we gon do?" What we go through when the world, it don't love you... But we keep on keepin' on, I'll never stop until the reaper come and say it's time for him to take me home god damn right we pushin on and on. I send this to you feel you don't belong, keep ya head up baby please stay strong Follow your heart, it never steer you wrong, when you need to baby sing this song yes, god damn right we pushin on and on, we pushin on and on, yeah we pushin' on and on (uh). The frustration that I felt from always thinking that I need to be accepted, was exactly what I need release the fucks never expected... To receive as the blessed did...the answer it rested, deep in my chest kid. Yeah, born alone, die alone...
(Hook) I was born alone, I'ma die alone... I was born alone, I'ma die alone (hey) I was born alone, I'ma die alone.... I was born alone, I'ma die alone (hey)
