Stand On My Own

Lyrics

Verse 1
I don’t depend on nobody
To do nothing for me
I get it on my own
Watch me move, you gon’ see

Don’t waste my time
Playing in my face for money
You sittin’ here acting funny
Like I owe you something

I asked for one thing
You made it a whole scene
Now I see the pattern
Yeah, you know what I mean

Pre-Chorus
Never again
I learned that lesson
I keep my hands on my plan
No more second-guessing

If you come around
Come correct, come real
I’d rather fix my own pain
Than call for help and kneel

Chorus
I stand on my own
I stand on my own
Don’t call me with games
I got my own throne

I stand on my own
I stand on my own
Better off helping myself
Than calling you, no

Verse 2
I seen too much
To be easy like that
One favor turns to a leash
Then I’m trapped in the cracks

Nah, I’m built for the grind
For the long nights, the strain
I can carry my name
I can carry my pain

You only showed up
When you thought it was gain
Now you lookin’ at me weird
’Cause I won’t entertain

I’m done with the crumbs
I’m done with the fake
If I gotta do it alone
Then alone is the way

Pre-Chorus
Never again
I learned that lesson
I keep my hands on my plan
No more second-guessing

If you come around
Come correct, come real
I’d rather fix my own pain
Than call for help and kneel

Chorus
I stand on my own
I stand on my own
Don’t call me with games
I got my own throne

I stand on my own
I stand on my own
Better off helping myself
Than calling you, no

Bridge
I tried to be soft
Tried to be nice
But you took my kindness
And you made it a price

So watch me walk
No tears, no fear
I built this spine
Out of every wrong year

Final Chorus
I stand on my own
I stand on my own
Don’t call me with games
I got my own throne

I stand on my own
I stand on my own
Better off helping myself
Than calling you, no

I stand on my own
I stand on my own
Don’t come wasting my time
I’m better on my own
