On My Own

[Verse 1] I had to learn the hard way that people are not genuine An expert at this lone wolf status now I’m a veteran This won’t be some stupid rant 'bout who I think I’m better then Just need to get something out my system that’s an impediment Loyalty’s a rare commodity that’s short in stock you see And modesty’s become non-existent right there with honesty A part of me has been through so much bullshit in my life That my mind has been conditioned to smell when something's not right Now I’m quicker to identify those that ain’t real do or die When I sense it I put some distance between the crew and I Cause I don’t have no time for that shit, or inconsistent stints I’m 46, no way I’m playing even a little bit Understand that everyone don’t do this for the same reason Rolling solo means that I ain’t marching with the same legion That’s why I formed the Reaper Legion now I’m doing fine Cause how can I control a situation if it ain’t mine? [Chorus] No offense this is what I represent If you can’t show respect for that I guess I’ll just go on my own I’ve never been the one to stop what I’m doing If it’s not what I’m pursuing Guess I’ll just go on my own If you ain’t got your own, you’re a slave My commitment never change So I guess I’ll just go on my own I’ll never let you question my worth I’ll just go do what I was doing at first And that was on my own [Verse 2] Maybe my curse is that I always think the worse in fact I’m quick to pull the plug on a situation no looking back But there’s a price to pay if you linger on with dysfunction You’d be better off just leaving conditions that’s not wanted You can still be cool with people and things, no need to beef with them If they ain’t chasing that brass ring, why do you need 'em then? I'm a go-getter, never been only a rhyme spitter Some are bitter cause I don’t associate with blind quitters If it fit ya maybe you should do some self-reflection Stop that half-ass stepping on those things you say you’re repping Put some effort in it, see what it does Just be prepared cause the ones that’s scared to do it never give you the love Yo, you can fly a lot higher without anchors on your ankles They will suck up everything you ever gave and never thank you Then look at you like you spiteful now you wrong and they pissed But I'm a boss and I'm in charge you don't like then split [Chorus] No offense this is what I represent If you can’t show respect for that I guess I’ll just go on my own I’ve never been the one to stop what I’m doing If it’s not what I’m pursuing Guess I’ll just go on my own If you ain’t got your own, you’re a slave My commitment never change So I guess I’ll just go on my own I’ll never let you question my worth I’ll just go do what I was doing at first And that was on my own
