The Roots - Walk Alone lyrics

[Truck North:] Trapped, no shield, no sword The unbeaten path got my soul so sore Allured by the lust, something money can't cure The Devil want me as is, but God he want more Eyes closed, eyes open, great another day, here we go like a n***a woke up late in The Truman Show Living life without a care, mean pokerface But I'm forced to play solitaire till I get up out of here Move like a wanted man with a bounty on his head Work alone, sleep alone, eat alone, daily bread Counting till my fingers red, how you gon' judge a man walking in the shoes of a man with a broken leg? Flame on the trail headed for the powder keg Last place in the race I ain't never led Like I ain't never bled, time to get up out of bed Serving in the army of one, it's on again [Chorus 2x - Dice Raw:] Walk alone, I walk alone, you know I walk it alone I always been on my own, ever since the day I born So I don't mind walking alone [P.O.R.N. :] I'm in a chess match, I'm in a d**h trap I'm tryna find out where the eggs in the nest at I'm one blood when the sky turns jet black No love in the world can correct that I'm in a slow lane, I'm on my Cobain I'm in the new spot tryna run a old game I got a new chick, put out my old flame No peace, no sleep, no love for a young beast You can put me in a cage You can put me in the jungle where the lion get blazed There ain't no hell like the hell I raise I'd die in the bed I made 'fore I lay with a love I loathe I'm a snake in the garden of bones I'm a loner in a world of clones I'm the piece that don't belong, see I roam where the the Reaper roam till they put my name on a stone [Chorus 2X] [Black Thought:] The longest walk I'll probably ever be on The Road to Perdition, guess I'm finna get my plea on I pray these wings strong enough to carry me on I promise every second felt as if it took an eon Walking like the lost boys of Sierra Leone The trail of tears what they got me like a Cherokee on Between the ears something I require therapy on for the working the bone like my name Robert Dion I go above and beyond, the duty called, truly y'all Even though they kind of blew me off like a booty call Asked me if I'm just another muli or a movie star Forced to face the +music+ like a graduate of Juilliard Walk alone, talk alone, get my Charlie Parker on Make my mark alone, shed light upon the dark alone Get my sparkle on, it's a mission I'm embarking on A kamikaze in the danger zone far from home [Chorus 2X]
