(Verse 1) Couldn't wait on you Gotta stand on my own two Yeah, we just wasn't on the same beat Right way going down the wrong street Unh, it gets real deep Ya dig, try to feel me It is what it will be Say you been there, but it's still means... Nothing! Where were you when a nigga had nothing? Got kicked out of the crib Two at a time Sleeping on couches out of my mind Unh, I got to get on the grind Pray God get on the line I got nothing but time But you could never take none of mine remember that
(Chorus - Sterling Simms) Please, don't take it wrong when I tell you that I'm alone yeah Cause I appreciate the love, I appreciate the trouble But it just wasn't enough So I did it on my own (5X)
(Verse 2) Yeah, right on cue Came in the game no I owe you's I'm the only one liable Say you ain't made it 'til they lie on you, what Four a.m. head down, long drive, little child Gon' see his daddy on lock down Ain't really seen him much since he got out Made me my own man Look around, count about four friends I asked for this But don't need no help I ain't asked for shit, yeah
(Chorus - Sterling Simms) Please, don't take it wrong when I tell you that I'm alone yeah Cause I appreciate the love, I appreciate the trouble But it just wasn't enough So I did it on my own (5X)
(Bridge - Sterling Simms) My blood, my sweat, my tears My days, my nights, my years I did it all when they said that I couldn't That's why I'm standing here telling you...
(Chorus - Sterling Simms) Please, don't take it wrong when I tell you that I'm alone yeah Cause I appreciate the love, I appreciate the trouble But it just wasn't enough So I did it on my own (5X)
