Haystak - All By Myself lyrics
Tell me a story, Uncle Stak. What you want me to tell you a story about? About bad guys and stuff. OK, that should be easy. Check check Now I was, once in the mix with some phony homies Who turned they, backs on me when I needed em most And even though they my enemies, I'm keepin' em close Cause I can, either sink em or keep em afloat A while the ship jumpers go searching for life preservers I'm a stay here and try and repair the holes in my ship Tighten the lose boards in the home that I built I did this by myself, I didn't never need your help Dudes are dirty, they'll try to f** ya gal Naw dog, you got it all wrong, I'm ya pal Put it on his kids lives, lookin' you in the eye Knowin' the whole time, he tellin' a f**in' lie My go-to guy, I could depend on you Only people I could get me were friends like you I know everybody out there can relate to stak, If they got stab wounds all up and down they back I do it all by myself I don't need nobody else And I'm a do fine without your help I'm a do it all by myself Some people told me to talk to ya Tell you don't go I f**ed up, but you should come home, though I just couldn't fix my mouth to pronounce those syllables While I was thinking: "Why postpone the inevitable?" If you goin' leave me, go on leave me now There you go, baby Kick me while I'm down Yeah I got some issues I need to figure out But I know one thing without a doubt I can do this alone All on my own, I'm grown I gotta keep on writin' songs Get money And maybe one day find somebody that really loves me Stands beside me through anything Loves my when it's sunny, the same as when it's raining The life of Stak Mak ain't always entertaining Would you love me if I was slanging grams on the track? That's love and anything less than that, I'd rather be All by myself I don't need nobody else And I'm a do fine without your help I'm a do it all by myself, yeah Some said I was a dreamer, others told me I was stupid I've been described as difficult, some even called me foolish I've always had such a pa**ion for music There was no tellin' me I wasn't destine to do this I didn't get where I'm at by makin' excuses Cryin' cause you didn't deal me no aces and deuces I've had my heart broken and been stabbed in the back Career endin' injuries that didn't stop Stak Rhyme after rhyme Time and time again It ain't all shinin' and diamonds A lot of time, a lot of grindin' A lot of beers spill in my environment I always felt so empty surrounded by people Felt like it was just me, you know what I mean? A lot of work went into makin' this happen Without my people I couldn't have made it rappin' Because I couldn't have done it All by myself I needed everybody else Wouldn'ta got done without your help I couldn'ta done it all by myself
