All Alone Lyrics

And though the trouble's in the dark
I will hold all the lights on you
We give ourselves a shining star
All alone, all alone

You threw me in that ocean and I can't swim
But drowning is second nature Sharks ready to hate you
Sharks ready to eat youViolence ready to meet you
So I'm a time bomb Whole body covered in ether
Ready to show the world my insides; looking for that nice young boy, well he been died
Been trying to reach him; streets dying to keep him
Coaches see is ambition Use Len Bias to teach him
But they can't save him, though they mean well
It's not the same pedigree; they never seen Hell
They fathers fed them legacy; they never seen frail
I'd be happy with a Sunday where I see male
Pick up his young child and take him to the field
I'm like maybe one day ‘cause that's not real
‘Til then I'm dodging gun play and pray I'm in your will
Alone on this journey; pray I don't get killed

Though the trouble's in the dark
I will hold all the lights on you
We give ourselves a shining start
All alone. All alone

I'm 15 looking at this black queen
Raising three men in a household where that dream
Was obtained and the way was shown on that screen
Entertainment or playing for some whack team
Or maybe throw some work up on the scales
Seen many kin near me fail and fall due to that crack beam
What would you do when the man of the house
Is nil; you hustle ‘cause those bills they keep stacking
And we view this as just a normality
Around my way, broken home's a technicality
So tragic, the hero is absent
And Lois Lane gotta go and pull three salaries
‘Cause these growing boys don't count calories
Plus them J's is nice, these pants too tight
And when I see these Pro Wings, they starting a fight
Momma love me but my heart telling me this ain't right
It ain't life

And though the trouble's in the dark
I will hold all the lights on you
We give ourselves a shining star
All alone, all alone
