To Eaches Own
by Larice Brown
Lyrics
Verse 1
I came up off the porch with a plan
Cold wind on my hands, still I stand
They want the easy lane, I want the road
You take your load, I take my load
I learned quick, move quiet, move smart
Seen too much to be weak of heart
Same dirt, different seeds, same sun
You chase your shine, I run my run
Pre-Chorus
If it fold, let it fold
If it hold, let it hold
I don't beg for a seat
I just make my own table
Chorus
To eaches own, own, own
I take mine and I go
To eaches own, own, own
Let the whole block know
You live your way, I live mine
We all got a line to tow
To eaches own, own, own
Yeah, to eaches own
Verse 2
Mama said, "Boy, keep your name clean"
Still I'm out where the pavement gleams
Late-night runs, fresh goals in the stash
Old doubts wanna break, I don't crash
I seen friends switch for a little more
I seen trust get dragged on the floor
So I keep my pace, keep my face calm
Move like a storm with a locked jaw
Pre-Chorus
If it fold, let it fold
If it hold, let it hold
I don't need your approval
I got my own rhythm
Chorus
To eaches own, own, own
I take mine and I go
To eaches own, own, own
Let the whole block know
You live your way, I live mine
We all got a line to tow
To eaches own, own, own
Yeah, to eaches own
Bridge
Two different roads
Same hard rain
You keep your crown
I keep my flame
No need to compare
No need to choose
Somebody else wins
When I lose my truth
Chorus
To eaches own, own, own
I take mine and I go
To eaches own, own, own
Let the whole block know
You live your way, I live mine
We all got a line to tow
To eaches own, own, own
Yeah, to eaches own
