Ridin' All Alone

[Intro]

Yeah, you know sometimes I be thinking to myself, what if this shit don't work, right

I told my brother, we're in this truck, I ain't got no job traits

I don't know how to lay carpet

I'm not no barber

You know what I'm saying if this rap shit don't work homie

God bless y'all

[Verse 1]

Light up another cigarette and shed tear

Just sittin at the cemetery wishin bro was here

And then I think to myself

What if this rappin doesn't work

Cause the only thing besides this I really know is work

Having nightmares every night, I can't sleep again

I just think about Dre with that tube in his chin

Think of Biggie, think of Chris, having flashbacks of the pen

Man, it is what is, this is just the life I live

Doctors said if I don't change, I won't live to see 35

I just keep on smokin like, fuck it, I'm prepared to die

Say a prayer cause lord if your there

You gotta send me a sign to show me that you really care

[Chorus]

I wake up every day

I hit my knees and pray

My mind is filled with pain

So many things have changed

I'm looking at my life, like it's an hour glass

But I still spend every minute trying to catch the past

I be ridin all alone

Yes, I be ridin' all alone

I just be ridin' all alone

I just be ridin' all alone

I just be ridin' all alone

Yeah, I be ridin' all alone

I just be ridin' all alone

I just be ridin' all alone

[Verse 2]

I got some people in the pen that I don't write like I should

Hell it's been six months since I stopped by the hood

Best friend in the trap wishin I could get him out

But I can't help him if I can't help my damn self

Got me drinkin every night, it's turned into a ritual

But then I go to church, man I feel so hypocritical

Lord I'm an individual forgive me I'm just flesh

Plus I don't know what to do to put up with this stress

It takes everything inside of me

To be the best father I can be

But y'all don't understand the irony

The hatred that's inside of me

Last of a dyin breed

Wake up everyday and try and make it out properly

[Chorus]

I wake up every day

I hit my knees and pray

My mind is filled with pain

So many things have changed

I'm looking at my life, like it's an hour glass

But I still spend every minute trying to catch the past

I be ridin all alone

Yes, I be ridin' all alone

I just be ridin' all alone

I just be ridin' all alone

I just be ridin' all alone

Yeah, I be ridin' all alone

I just be ridin' all alone

I just be ridin' all alone

[Verse 3]

From the start, I knew that I'd just tryin to play my part

Every girl I ever loved ended up breaking my heart

Momma keep on callin me sayin that she need money

And the part that hurts me is I cannot give her any

I ain't got it to give her man

I'm just tryin to make it but

Since they think I got it, so many people hatin man

I go to sleep late at night and I be shakin cause

Cause my nightmares have me layin down bleedin on the pavement

Folks I don't even know sayin that I owe em somethin

Call my phone everyday like Jelly can I hold somethin

You ain't my gansta, you ain't there when I was starvin

I would of killed myself if it wasn't for my daughter

[Chorus]

I wake up every day

I hit my knees and pray

My mind is filled with pain

So many things have changed

I'm looking at my life, like it's an hour glass

But I still spend every minute trying to catch the past

I be ridin all alone

Yes, I be ridin' all alone

I just be ridin' all alone

I just be ridin' all alone

I just be ridin' all alone

Yeah, I be ridin' all alone

I just be ridin' all alone

I just be ridin' all alone
