On My Own |
| I’ve come a long way |
| From a very hard place |
| It’s been a hard race |
| But somehow I found my way home |
| I’ve walked a long road |
| To where only God knows |
| But when the trumpet blows you know |
| I did it all on my own |
| Oh-oh-oh-oh |
| Ohhhhhh |
| Oh-oh-oh-oh |
| Ohhhhhh |
| I’ve been pushing hard |
| I’ve been praying harder |
| Only Heaven can help me |
| They took my earthly father |
| Martyred and promised me death |
| Then walked me into my grave |
| I’d rather die a free man then live on Earth a slave |
| I’m fighting for people they put in chains |
| They stripped our heritage, they took our names |
| Put our women to shame |
| Whipped us and beat us, mislead us |
| But they can’t take our passion |
| Take my body but my soul won’t fit inside your casket |
| Forget what I said, forget what I did |
| I did what I had to do and I’d do it all again |
| And if you’re going through hell |
| Keep it going, my baby promise that Heaven is near |
| I’ve come a long way |
| From a very hard place |
| It’s been a hard race |
| But somehow I found my way home |
| I’ve walked a long road |
| To where only God knows |
| But when the trumpet blows you know |
| I did it all on my own |
| Oh-oh-oh-oh |
| Ohhhhhh |
| Oh-oh-oh-oh |
| Ohhhhhh |
| Taken from Africa |
| Treated like animals |
| Culturally denigrated |
| Broke up our families |
| Prison of false religion, the same God you lied on |
| The same God I rely on, I’ma strive on |
| Alone just a small tribe |
| Fought for truth for y’all, died |
| Martyrs live forever so |
| Out the depths we all rise |
| Die for a freedom that I’ll never see |
| I pray y’all live it to the fullest for my legacy |
| Let’s go |
| Forget what I said, forget what I did |
| I did what I had to do and I’d do it all again |
| And if you’re going through hell |
| Keep it going, my baby promise that Heaven is near |
| I’ve come a long way |
| From a very hard place |
| It’s been a hard race |
| But somehow I found my way home |
| I’ve walked a long road |
| To where only God knows |
| But when the trumpet blows you know |
| I did it all on my own |
| Oh-oh-oh-oh |
| Ohhhhhh |
| I did it all on my own |
| Oh-oh-oh-oh |
| Ohhhhhh |
| I did it all on my own |
