Brodha V - On My Own lyrics

<b>On My Own</b> by <i>Brodha V</i><br />The first time I ever wrote a rhyme people laughed

My friends called me impetuous and a little brash

Local rockers were dissing cause I was spittin raps

My father said it's a fantasy, it would never last

I couldn't stop, giving up was irrational

Was skipping meals to save up and build a capital

Discriminated by fiends for bein broke

Subject to jokes, I was in need of neat clothes

Life was provocative, opposite of how it is not

For those who contradict to seek solace in God

Like I was targetted, with some chronic hate

Pretended I'm fine, while everybody walked away

My first ever gig and nobody was there to support me

But for my brother Smokey and his homie who barely had known me

I went ahead and eventually ripped the mic

Ended up making a 100 fans in a single night, now

I'm On My Own

And till this day, I never gave up

I'm On My Own

God never makes mistakes, he is only testing you

Just to see how much of courage and confidence rests in you

So I just, strengthen myself and rinse my soul

Hold onto faith, keep my inner senses bold

Unlike the, people who quite unsatisfied with life

With suicidal minds lying that dying is right

Uh, I reach for the stars, planets and galaxies

A kid on the road to becoming a masterpiece

But, right when I decide it's high time I drop bombs

They fail to recognize Hip Hop as an art form

They love it when they get to see women displaying chests

But not when I sing about it earning my paychecks

These, two faced people I co exist with

Some with enough hate they even wish death

Who cares, I'm doing movies, and I'm singing for stars

While you jealous, I'm chilling with celebs you worshiped as Gods

Now, Backstabbers return to shake hands

And tell me why they'll love me forever and stay friends

I'm searched for like I'm the one to be seeked

Then I'm showered with hate by every soul that underachieves

The most important lesson I learnt while I was growing

Up, was to trust nobody but myself alone

Burried my ego underground as I aim for the sky

And got my head up high till the day that I die

I'm On My Own

And till this day, I never gave up

I'm On My Own
