Dre Murray - All Alone lyrics

[Hook] And though the trouble's in the dark I will hold all the lights on you We give ourselves a shining star All alone, all alone [Verse 1: Dre Murray] You threw me in that ocean and I can't swim But drowning is second nature Sharks ready to hate you Sharks ready to eat youViolence ready to meet you So I'm a time bomb Whole body covered in ether Ready to show the world my insides; looking for that nice young boy, well he been died Been trying to reach him; streets dying to keep him Coaches see is ambition Use Len Bias to teach him But they can't save him, though they mean well It's not the same pedigree; they never seen Hell They fathers fed them legacy; they never seen frail I'd be happy with a Sunday where I see male Pick up his young child and take him to the field I'm like maybe one day ‘cause that's not real ‘Til then I'm dodging gun play and pray I'm in your will Alone on this journey; pray I don't get k**ed [Hook] Though the trouble's in the dark I will hold all the lights on you We give ourselves a shining start All alone. All alone [Verse 2: Dre Murray] I'm 15 looking at this black queen Raising three men in a household where that dream Was obtained and the way was shown on that screen Entertainment or playing for some whack team Or maybe throw some work up on the scales Seen many kin near me fail and fall due to that crack beam What would you do when the man of the house Is nil; you hustle ‘cause those bills they keep stacking And we view this as just a normality Around my way, broken home's a technicality So tragic, the hero is absent And Lois Lane gotta go and pull three salaries ‘Cause these growing boys don't count calories Plus them J's is nice, these pants too tight And when I see these Pro Wings, they starting a fight Momma love me but my heart telling me this ain't right It ain't life [Hook]
