Lyrics Not the Only One - K Rino

Not the Only One

It’s a big old world out there
Folks going through things the same way you are
Maybe if we pull together on some of this stuff
We can fix it a little faster
Maybe
Yesterday I woke up and choked up
Thinking 'bout life’s cold touch that holds us back
And then provokes us to lose focus
And broke us from the great wisdom we soaked up
Cheap clothes, car repos' and street foes
Mailman bringing bills he can keep those
Grocery store’s full banned pig feet bro
No matter how hungry I get, I’ll never eat those
Man at the intersection begging for ends
Seen that fool three hours later, he was driving a Benz
Nothing discreet, the whole world’s full of lies and deceit
I had homies turn on me like I was a street
Seen my old partner on the block and asked him, «What's happenin' man?»
Knew that he was struggling when he answered, 'Oh, I can’t complain'
They lied when they said it’s hard but it’s fair
I see the hard part daily but the fair is very rare, so understand
So many trials may come, don’t turn around and run
When all is said and done, guess I’m not the only one
Some people say they love you, they take advantage of you
When all is said done, know you’re not the only one
Going through some things tryna make it through the cycle
You are not the only one there’s millions more like you
A lot of cats are going through it, you just can’t see his baggage
Lots of women dealing with abortions or a miscarriage
Disparage, emotional damage is substantial
Our problem’s spiritual and mental, not financial
Swing on your enemies no matter what the size of them
It ain’t that I don’t have problems, I’m just good at disguising them
Calm, cool, collected on the outside is my daily face
But in my head all hell is breaking loose and taking place
Sitting in the grease, it’s hot, popping and sizzling
Can’t make it through the storm if you faint when it starts drizzling
Unexpected expenses, my money started fizzling
Man, oh well, I guess it is what it is again
Trials are like a video game, let me show you
When you take a loss, hit the reset and start it over, see
I hope God put a little sense up in your head
I hope you stop hustling before you end up dead
Hope we make it to the good life that we heard about
I hope you and your baby daddy work it out
No respect for each other, man y’all say whatever
Raise your child fool, y’all ain’t gotta stay together
Things are different from the days you used to lay together
No need to hate each other, when it’s over pray for better
I used to feel like I was going through it all the time
But other people’s problems made me thank the Lord for mine
My design, plenty hatred not a lot of love
Steady getting punched in the face with life’s boxing gloves
To every family who lost someone to suicide
Or any other reason why someone you knew had died
Maybe our suffering is to humble and remove our pride
Depending on each other helps us make it through this ride
