Lyrics Still On My Own - Sway, Nate James

Still On My Own

I’m only 23 but I feel like I’m older, d’beta I’m a hunchback from carryin the
world on my shoulders
If the world all hold us in the land of tony blair it’s hard to BBC my dreams n
stay focused
And I’ve always been a loner in the form of a trio the three amigos who?
me, myself and I aint no
N' ain’t nutin changed but ma size, and the fact I’m on the rise,
it’s two thousand and five
I’m everybody’s friend now, I’m everybody’s cousin cuz I’m the up n' comer
comin up I see him comin
To eat with the up n' comer
Sleep with the up n' do songs with and try steal heat from the up n' comer
The only person I trust is my mother from day dot through all the ups n' coming
down she supported me
She said that I’ma keep it, pregnant in secret, ignoring all the encouragements
to have aborted me
Family cursing me forgettin it coulda been worse remember I chose the beats
over the streets
Kept on tellin me to go to university it’s all reversed now, now that I’m
tipped to do well commercially
As for friends?
we’ve moved on and grown up I used to rap with a crew called
one,
We broke up now being solo only shows you who your true friends are when you
invite them to shows but they don’t show up
I don’t wanna hear the cries no more
Find your dream I’m chasing mine
Give it all you got n strive for more
Life’s too short to waste my time n I look up at the sky and all I see;
is I can only rely on me becuz at the end of the day I’m still on my own
You mighta seen me standin on the streets tryna sell my CD’s at five pound a
pop it was me, X-I-LEM P
Back to the studio to make another beat, no whip this was all done by fee then
we called up michael merridith to get a good mix
He put it on a DAP, I put it on a DISC n we give it to the DJ’s to throw to put
it out and a little bit of DAT a little bit of DIS
Life’s a bitch, in a relationship with time, sleepin wiv me on the side!
Lay front of life is death n I’m a young dog tryna stay alive I look at life
DOGGY STYLE!
There ain’t no stoppin me now no lookin back to when I was trapped between
religions it wasn’t simple
Because I feared bending over backwards to get into heaven only to end up in
limbo
N this is what I’m sayin now…
I don’t wanna hear the cries no more
Find your dream I’m chasing mine
Give it all you got n strive for more
Life’s too short to waste my time n I look up at the sky and all I see is;
I can only rely on me becuz at the end of the day I’m still on my own
N this is what I’m sayin now…
Don’t need nobody… gonna do it on my own.
