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
