I'm gonna make it on my own Goin' down the only road I've ever known See it's been time and time and time again That I can't seem to find a friend I know But I'm gonna make it on my own Uh, yes I is And baby I don't see a problem with the way I live I never asked for help, not once I do it by myself I'm feelin' good like I found myself Like I'm a stranger in a strange land Always been the game plan Cause I don't feel like we got anything the same, man I'm just a kid with a pocket full of hope And all my life, man, I've been told that I was nothing but a joke, but b**h, I was born to do this Man, I never had a choice, it's part of who I is Like I just let the haters hate, dogg let 'em agitate While I'm just gettin' good head let 'em masturbate D to the P show you what it's gon' be Ridin' down the highway, me and my destiny I got my shades on, baby sayin' that they gone And I don't give a f**, we ain't stop until I say so, sing CHORUS Uh, I'm just one man Against the whole damn world, thinkin', 'yes I can' Like the odds ain't nothin' but a number I could stick it out or put in work Until it work or take me under And dying's just the easy way out
So I'm racin' with d**h while I'm chasin' the taste of success And it's all relative, man, we're all sellin' it And I'm just tryin' to get top dollar for tellin' it Like it is, I'm as dirty as the biz D.P., it ain't nothin' for the kids, stop listenin' Tryin' to tell the story of the world that I'm livin' in All the fake cats turn their back on me in the end I'm still good, still k**in' the track Still talkin' to the city, I'll be bringin' it back And Momma told me not to trust a god damn soul Ain't no problem I could make it on my own, let's go, come on CHORUS And I ain't got a problem with that I never needed anybody, no, to get my back cause I I know I could make it So I'm gettin' by with my finger to the sky Tryin' to keep myself from fallin' apart from tryin' to fly, but I I know I could make it At the end of the day, when they all fade away See, I could look myself straight in the face and still say that I I know I could make it You see, when I call home to the place I used to call home Ain't nobody ever there to pick up the phone So I guess I'm on my own, and I'm OK I know that I'm gon' get it all my way, so I say, sing CHORUS
