Ridin’ All Alone

[Intro]
Yeah, you know sometimes I be thinking to myself, what if this shit don't work, right
I told my brother, we're in this truck, I ain't got no job traits
I don't know how to lay carpet
I'm not no barber
You know what I'm saying if this rap shit don't work homie
God bless y'all

[Verse 1]
Light up another cigarette and shed tear
Just sittin at the cemetery wishin bro was here
And then I think to myself
What if this rappin doesn't work
Cause the only thing besides this I really know is work
Having nightmares every night, I can't sleep again
I just think about Dre with that tube in his chin
Think of Biggie, think of Chris, having flashbacks of the pen
Man, it is what is, this is just the life I live
Doctors said if I don't change, I won't live to see 35
I just keep on smokin like, fuck it, I'm prepared to die
Say a prayer cause lord if your there
You gotta send me a sign to show me that you really care

[Chorus]
I wake up every day
I hit my knees and pray
My mind is filled with pain
So many things have changed
I'm looking at my life, like it's an hour glass
But I still spend every minute trying to catch the past
I be ridin all alone
Yes, I be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
Yeah, I be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone

[Verse 2]
I got some people in the pen that I don't write like I should
Hell it's been six months since I stopped by the hood
Best friend in the trap wishin I could get him out
But I can't help him if I can't help my damn self
Got me drinkin every night, it's turned into a ritual
But then I go to church, man I feel so hypocritical
Lord I'm an individual forgive me I'm just flesh
Plus I don't know what to do to put up with this stress
It takes everything inside of me
To be the best father I can be
But y'all don't understand the irony
The hatred that's inside of me
Last of a dyin breed
Wake up everyday and try and make it out properly

[Chorus]
I wake up every day
I hit my knees and pray
My mind is filled with pain
So many things have changed
I'm looking at my life, like it's an hour glass
But I still spend every minute trying to catch the past
I be ridin all alone
Yes, I be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
Yeah, I be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone

[Verse 3]
From the start, I knew that I'd just tryin to play my part
Every girl I ever loved ended up breaking my heart
Momma keep on callin me sayin that she need money
And the part that hurts me is I cannot give her any
I ain't got it to give her man
I'm just tryin to make it but
Since they think I got it, so many people hatin man
I go to sleep late at night and I be shakin cause
Cause my nightmares have me layin down bleedin on the pavement
Folks I don't even know sayin that I owe em somethin
Call my phone everyday like Jelly can I hold somethin
You ain't my gansta, you ain't there when I was starvin
I would of killed myself if it wasn't for my daughter

[Chorus]
I wake up every day
I hit my knees and pray
My mind is filled with pain
So many things have changed
I'm looking at my life, like it's an hour glass
But I still spend every minute trying to catch the past
I be ridin all alone
Yes, I be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
Yeah, I be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
