[Produced by Plato III] [Intro] Ladies and gentleman, we are floating in space (Put the yellow cup over your nose and mouth Slip the elastic band over your head And tighten by pulling the straps on either side Breathe normally...) (...Always put your own mask on first and then help others near you...) [Hook: Nas Sample] Born alone, die alone Born alone, die alone Born alone, die alone Born alone, die alone [Verse 1: Plato III] Came out the womb i was crying Already i knew i was dying Learned to embrace the fact that I'm on my own So now I only get lonely when I'm not alone Ain't got too many people who call my phone And its all by design sh** i would go out of my mind I really can't see how you n***as hang out all the time Me, I be out on my grind I think friends are a luxury Yeah that looks fun but see I gotta be who i'm gonna be No time for f**ery, there's only one of me And that's all I need, a solid soul and the blood I bleed ("I said..")
That's all I need, a solid soul and the blood I bleed [Hook: Nas Sample] Born alone, die alone Born alone, die alone Born alone, die alone Born alone, die alone [Verse 2: Plato III] You ain't got nobody else when you count on yourself I swear life is too easy I ain't got problems with new friends I make sure I lose them as soon as they need me When I see people I know out in public, I dodge them and hope they don't see me No you ain't my boy I don't want you to think that we close like the beasties [Bridge: Nas + Big L Sample] I needed time alone to relax my dome I needed to chill [Outro: Plato III] Who can love me like me Who can love me like me Who can love me like me Who can love me like me Nobody Who can love me like me Who can love me like me Say who can live me like me Say who can love me like me Nobody
