on my own

Lyrics

Yeah…
Some lessons come early…
Some pain don’t wait…
I had to learn it on my own.

(HOOK)

(half-sung, stretched vowels)

I been on my oooown…
Had to learn it the hard way…
Life hit me early…
I was lost in a dark place…
School never help me…
I drifted awaaay…
Had to reset my soul…
Find me a new way …
I been on my oooown…
Since the early phase…
Carried that weight…
But il still find my way…

VERSE

Came up young when the pressure was on
It started from having no family
Bond

No one telling me how its gonna
Be showing me how its ment to be done

I couldn't believe that i wasn't givin
The knowledge to help me grow an adjust

From the beginning not teaching me anything not even willing its really
upsetting me knowing how silly it is but really the feeling still hits

Now that I’m older, i see the struggle had made me colder, thinking it wouldn't get better
but i got use to the way it goes
No reason for me to re measure

what should I make an move an what to
Choose, just knowing the steps an what to do, there was a time I never knew why its reason needed to be ask

from the starting an off the mark, befor me thinking there wasn't a chance
Mind blinded, eyes tired, never knew that it wasn't enough, I wasn’t guided,
had me always deep in my mind, havin a moment in time sometimes i didn't mind

PRE-HOOK – BUILD

(melodic, rising)
I was tryna survive…
With no map for the road…
Every night I asked myself why…
Had to carry this load…

HOOK – FULL

I been on my oooown…
Had to learn it the hard way…
Life hit me early…
I was lost in a dark place…
School never help me…
I drifted awaaay…
Had to reset my soul…
Try find me a new way…
I been on my oooown…
Since the early phase…
Carried that weight…
But i found me a new way…

VERSE

Didn't run from the rules, never played it long
Thought that I knew but i stayed too long.
Made a mistake, had to prove it right
It's never fair, for the humble type
havin Nobody here when things went left,
Learned what to do how to deal with stress.
Every step felt hard on me,
But it showed who im going to be.
too many lows don’t speak on it much,
same old same gave me my touch.
Now i know what i didnt befor
wasn't that much an my reasoning for
the time I spent an knowing iv been in different minds at different times without a doubt that's how it felt while its around been holding me down

BRIDGE

(fully sung, minimal drums)

If I could talk to my younger self,
I’d say keep it up

“You didn't have the best of starts" in the beginning, but giving yourself a chance, to heal your mind an balance your heart, it'll better your feelings an fast, try not to dwell in the past, keep doing what you do the way do it

(Youngn lips cadence)
(Half-sung, stretched vowles)

FINAL HOOK

I been on my oooown…
Had to learn it the hard way…
Life hit me early…
I was lost in a dark place…
Now I stand firm…
Yeah I found it my way…
Turned all that pain…
Into something that stays…

[OUTRO]]

(soft ad-libs)
Yeah…
I had to learn…
On my own…
But I’m still here…
