Born Alone Lyrics

[Intro]
It's been a long road
Lord, it's been a long road
And I'm still feelin' like I'm so far from home
Could you help me just rest my bones
And could you help me not feel so alone

[Verse 1]
Came into this world burnin' bright, runnin' fast
I had everything to gain, the whole world in my hand
I was so damn tough that you couldn't tell me nothin'
Fightin' and cussin', got me hand-cuffed and
Threw my ass in prison, shackled in Hell's kitchen
How I treated women, I just called 'em all bitches
Except my momma, she stayed through my whole conviction
I did my time, they let me out, it's time to get it

[Chorus]
Born alone and I'ma die alone
All that matters is what happens in between, yea
And all I know in a world so cold
Everything ain't always what it seems, oh no

[Verse 2]
Hit the ground runnin', ain't that somethin', take a look at me
I don't want the world, I want the world and all it took from me
You ain't gettin' shit for free so you ain't gettin' shit from me
Grew up speakin' freely about freedom bein' the shit to me
Guy on top, live long enough to fall
Everybody drop around me but I'm still here through it all History in the makin', if you want it then you go and take it
From the bottom to the top, first they love you then they hate you
Then they judge you when they hang you, just because they can't hang
The ones that send you praises throw dirt on your damn name
They ain't got the heart to live and that's a damn shame
Waitin' on the day to throw dirt on your damn grave

[Chorus]
Born alone and I'ma die alone
All that matters is what happens in between, yea
And all I know in a world so cold
Everything ain't always what it seems, oh no

[Bridge]
It's been a long road
Lord, it's been a long road
And I'm still feelin' like I'm so far from home
Could ya help me just rest my bones
And could you help me not feel so alone

[Chorus]
Born alone and I'ma die alone
All that matters is what happens in between, yea
And all I know in a world so cold
Everything ain't always what it seems, oh no
Born alone and I'ma die alone
All that matters is what happens in between, yea
And all I know in a world so cold
Everything ain't always what it seems, oh no
