| Life is hard enough with a team
|
| So tryna handle problems by yourself’s a different thing
|
| It seems like things pop off at the strangest times
|
| You thought about calling for help but then you changed your mind
|
| Friends and family let you know it’s always room to ride
|
| No one to reach out ‘cause your logic got consumed with pride
|
| Told yo homie you was good, he looked and said, «You sho?»
|
| You hit your mama with that same lie, see even mama know
|
| You used to be the one who helped others when they was down
|
| Now you ashamed to let them know yo plane done switched around
|
| You feel like if you tell ‘em your weakness might be exposed
|
| You on the verge of losing hope and no one even knows
|
| There’s nothing wrong with being lifted up by your fam
|
| Sometimes Robin helped Batman get up out a jam
|
| Quit actin' rough like you don’t need no one to back you up
|
| Because the time gon' come when real life gon' jack you up
|
| So listen bro
|
| You can’t make it in this world alone
|
| Alone, lone, lone, lone
|
| We all need somebody we can depend on
|
| No matter how you think you in control
|
| Contro-o-o-ol
|
| It’s always something we can’t handle or we fail to know
|
| See, for the record
|
| With your thoughts it’s cool to be overprotective
|
| But different opinions tend to provide different perspectives
|
| You ain’t gotta tell the whole planet your business, be selective
|
| Only council with wise ones who advise positive methods, see
|
| When you fall the road back can be a long one
|
| Yeah I know it, you supposed to be the strong one
|
| And through the loss and through the drama whatever
|
| You the one who usually holding the family together, yeah
|
| So now you seein' yo safety net fall through
|
| When folks needed a place to stay and some money, they called you
|
| Now you need somebody to confide in and talk to
|
| But it’s hard to do ‘cause you used to it being all you
|
| I know you got a friend on who you can directly depend
|
| Stop blockin' ‘em out fam, you got to let people in
|
| You bein' the one to guide others through issues in they life
|
| So since it’s your turn, it’s time for you to take your own advice
|
| You can’t make it in this world alone
|
| Alone, lone, lone, lone
|
| We all need somebody we can depend on
|
| No matter how you think you in control
|
| Contro-o-o-ol
|
| It’s always something we can’t handle or we fail to know
|
| Man
|
| You pushin' hard to get your stuff fixed
|
| You tryna build a house, but you ain’t got enough bricks
|
| It’s never no time, not enough hours in the day
|
| And now that you overloaded, your energy is MIA
|
| See one deep all the time should never be the plan
|
| Understand even a solo singer need a band
|
| See you can interact and still be a leader, man
|
| But let somebody help you carry that load and free your hand
|
| Lonely living is a hard pill to swallow, dude
|
| And every now and then we all need some solitude
|
| But don’t let it be the good folks you try to get rid of
|
| Real patnas offer you insight you might not’ve considered
|
| That’s a scenario some people ain’t comfortable with
|
| Might be missing blessings and gifts that God wants you to get
|
| You need a lifeboat when things start sinking
|
| See you standing on the brink ‘cause regardless of what you thinking
|
| You can’t make it in this world alone
|
| Alone, lone, lone, lone
|
| We all need somebody we can depend on
|
| No matter how you think you in control
|
| Contro-o-o-ol
|
| It’s always something we can’t handle or we fail to know |
