Brodha V - On My Own lyrics

The first time I ever wrote a rhyme people laughed My friends called me impetuous and a little brash Local rockers were dissing cause I was spittin raps My father said its a fantasy, it would never last I couldn't stop, giving up was irrational Was skipping meals to save up and build a capital Discriminated by fiends for bein broke Subject to jokes, I was in need of neat clothes Life was provocative, opposite of how it is not For those who contradict to seek solace in God Like I was targetted, with some chronic hate Pretended I'm fine, while everybody walked away My first ever gig and nobody was there to support me But for my brother Smokey and his homie who barely had known me I went ahead and eventually ripped the mic Ended up making a 100 fans in a single night, now I'm On My Own And till this day, I never gave up I'm On My Own God never makes mistakes, he is only testing you Just to see how much of courage and confidence rests in you So I just, strengthen myself and rinse my soul Hold onto faith, keep my inner senses bold Unlike the, people who quite unsatisfied with life With suicidal minds lying that dying is right Uh, I reach for the stars, planets and galaxies A kid on the road to becoming a masterpiece But, right when I decide its high time I drop bombs They fail to recognize Hip Hop as an art form They love it when they get to see women displaying chests But not when I sing about it earning my paychecks These, two faced people I co exist with Some with enough hate they even wish d**h Who cares, I'm doing movies, and I'm singing for stars While you jealous, I'm chilling with celebs you worshiped as Gods Now, Backstabbers return to shake hands And tell me why they'll love me forever and stay friends I'm searched for like I'm the one to be seeked Then I'm showered with hate by every soul that underachieves The most important lesson I learnt while I was growing Up, was to trust nobody but myself alone Burried my ego underground as I aim for the sky And got my head up high till the day that I die I'm On My Own And till this day, I never gave up I'm On My Own
