Khari Mateen - Dining Alone lyrics

[Hook] I'm dining alone tonight, table for one --table for one, table for one I'm dining alone tonight, table for one --table for one [Verse 1] Born alone, crawled alone, walked alone Mumbled to myself, learned to talk on my own Got knocked out, learned to fight on my own It don't take a genius, to see that I'm all alone Like a metronome, right before the drums But more like Jessie Owens right before he runs Or like a rooster co*k-a-doodle right before the sun My uzi weighs a ton, feeling like the only one left from this dead era Stare into the mirror, scream My reflection says you know they can't hear ya' It's hard not to let the voices in your head steer ya' The wrong way will let the bad vibes get near ya' That's why I stay clear of, away from where the fools sit Don't want to hear no nonsense, don't want to hear no bullsh** Or no hating, or no bellyaching You must got me mistaken Table for one [Hook] [Verse 2] This being broke, nightmare - paradise Stared into her eyes, when we share the slice In the hotspots, I ain't look at her twice Stared at my plate, thinking how could I escape But when I looked up, she had another face When I looked around, we in another place We ain't even eating, it ain't even her Last five years, it's all been a blur All the arguing, and all the tears Tell me, what type of girl still be here She used to say I work too much, and she had to leave me Because it hurt too much, you know It hurt to eat alone, sleep alone Laying on the couch watching TV alone She said that she might as well be alone Wrote me a letter, said I'm leaving home [Hook]
