On My Own

[Verse 1: Consequence] At times, I used to wonder why there's nothing in my wallet Til I accept the faith like Ms. Wallace That life is like Creflo speaking at a college So listen up or you might miss the dollars This is it, I promise Anyhow, I don't get tip-top honors Then at least save my spot at the hip-hop honors And let's be honest: we don't need a lie detector Don't try to make a scene like you was once my investor You never believed so you ain't got a lot of Dexter But that's exactly where the blame starts Cause they be throwing dirt like Lebron before the game starts But King James couldn't take me off the throne Cause when it comes to rap, I do this on my own [Chorus: Kid Cudi] I can do it on my own I don't have to listen to your lies I been moving on my own for some time now So I gotta say goodbye [Verse 2: Consequence] When you on the road to the riches but suddenly the road stops The people in your life are either shortcuts or roadblocks But one thing you can count on when you encounter a hater They say waddup now, and talk about you later But if I try to cater and extend myself to y'all You still will have a hang up like a disconnected call So trying to please you all is something I've outgrown Cause when it comes to rap I do this on my own [Chorus: Kid Cudi] I can do it on my own I don't have to listen to your lies I been moving on my own for some time now So I gotta say goodbye [Verse 3: Consequence] The same homies who I thought were my support system Have come to judge me like the court system But what drives me like the valet section Is knowing that the game is so vile and wretched That you can't even let your guard down for a second And that keeps me on my toes, ballet lessons So a school transfer couldn't get me out my zone Cause when it comes to rap, I do this on my own [Chorus: Kid Cudi] I can do it on my own I don't have to listen to your lies I been moving on my own for some time now So I gotta say goodbye
