Born Alone

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 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, settled in Hells 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 All 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 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 They 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 All 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 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 All 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 All 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 - Adam Calhoun
