On My Own by Tombstone Da Deadman Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I had to learn the hard way that people are not genuine
An expert at this lone wolf status now I’m a veteran
This won’t be some stupid rant 'bout who I think I’m better then
Just need to get something out my system that’s an impediment
Loyalty’s a rare commodity that’s short in stock you see
And modesty’s become non-existent right there with honesty
A part of me has been through so much bullshit in my life
That my mind has been conditioned to smell when something's not right
Now I’m quicker to identify those that ain’t real do or die
When I sense it I put some distance between the crew and I
Cause I don’t have no time for that shit, or inconsistent stints
I’m 46, no way I’m playing even a little bit
Understand that everyone don’t do this for the same reason
Rolling solo means that I ain’t marching with the same legion
That’s why I formed the Reaper Legion now I’m doing fine
Cause how can I control a situation if it ain’t mine?
[Chorus]
No offense this is what I represent
If you can’t show respect for that
I guess I’ll just go on my own
I’ve never been the one to stop what I’m doing
If it’s not what I’m pursuing
Guess I’ll just go on my own
If you ain’t got your own, you’re a slave
My commitment never change
So I guess I’ll just go on my own
I’ll never let you question my worth
I’ll just go do what I was doing at first
And that was on my own
[Verse 2]
Maybe my curse is that I always think the worse in fact
I’m quick to pull the plug on a situation no looking back
But there’s a price to pay if you linger on with dysfunction
You’d be better off just leaving conditions that’s not wanted
You can still be cool with people and things, no need to beef with them
If they ain’t chasing that brass ring, why do you need 'em then?
I'm a go-getter, never been only a rhyme spitter
Some are bitter cause I don’t associate with blind quitters
If it fit ya maybe you should do some self-reflection
Stop that half-ass stepping on those things you say you’re repping
Put some effort in it, see what it does
Just be prepared cause the ones that’s scared to do it never give you the love
Yo, you can fly a lot higher without anchors on your ankles
They will suck up everything you ever gave and never thank you
Then look at you like you spiteful now you wrong and they pissed
But I'm a boss and I'm in charge you don't like then split
[Chorus]
No offense this is what I represent
If you can’t show respect for that
I guess I’ll just go on my own
I’ve never been the one to stop what I’m doing
If it’s not what I’m pursuing
Guess I’ll just go on my own
If you ain’t got your own, you’re a slave
My commitment never change
So I guess I’ll just go on my own
I’ll never let you question my worth
I’ll just go do what I was doing at first
And that was on my own
I had to learn the hard way that people are not genuine
