X O D U S - Alone lyrics
rate me[Verse 1]
Bitches say I'm hot, bitches say I'm cool,
proud to be a paradox, what temperature are you?
Coldest nigga out, too hot to touch,
hungry as fuck, 'bout to call a beat some lunch.
Bent on this Bentley, on my grind, steady,
gettin' more buzz than a sex tape, press play.
That's grand, I ain't talking like it's greater,
I'm talking 'bout the paper, mu-fucker, get your weight up.
I don't see you niggas, all I see is dollar signs,
you ain't talking money, cut it out, here's the dotted line.
Yeah, I make these moves and then I'm cashing in,
and when it come to fam, I'm cuttin' cheddar, no flatulence.
World on my shoulders, doubters looking down,
grillin' while I'm grinding, mu-fucker, hear me now.
Eatin' big in the city and y'all hardly ate,
tracks bumping, I could make your building do the Harlem shake.
Ball outside the box, refs don't know what to call it,
'cause my team be popping bottles like we champs or alcoholics.
Y'all ain't ready for it, shit be sounding foreign...
They stressing, steady sipping these depressants,
while I contemplate this life, from all the curses to the blessings,
opportunities, I spot in every which direction,
and responsibilities that come with this sort of conquest shit.
Certainly, life's obscurities are food for fear,
but through this empty glass, it's so irrefutably clear..
Yeah, I'm no rapper - just an artist,
I read what my heart spits, I'ma be the truth, regardless.
Take a picture, nigga, while I cheese through all these hardships,
a monster from my flesh is what I'm carving, made of scar-tiss-
ue - you hear me, nah, but tell me, do you really?
Niggas swear they feel me, I'm untouchable - they're lying clearly. [clearly]
[Chorus]
Sometimes I feel I'm so alone, [so alone]
but they don't, know. [they don't know]
Times are changing as we grow, [as we grow]
just gotta know. [gotta know, oh oh oh..]
oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh,
Alone...
Alone...
[Verse 2]
This black, got me feeling smoothed out,
truth is, I'm just tryna reach the blues now.
Feeling like life is taking every course that I choose now,
Hard Knock University, I can't wait for grad school now. [cool out]
Deep down when I face it, [pillows in the basement]
sweet dreams got me craving, everybody wanna taste it,
call it concentrated and erase it, boy I'm saying,
dream-stealers in my rear view mirrors, nigga I'm racing.
That's the formula, one is what I tell 'em,
I'm chasing rolling O's, engine im revving's my cerebellum,
I'll never stop, even for a second, never resting.
If you doubting that I'm bout it - ask the question.
Confessions of a mu-fucking lunatic,
I'm staring in the mirror, yelling, who is this?
and you don't even spend the time to do this shit,
learn the workings of you and shit. [but y'all don't know]
Yeah, they swear I'm crazy, but baby, I got a baby,
a brain child, and maybe I wont make it cause it makes me.
My life's blood is what I'm spilling here.
Niggas swear they fly, while I'm chilling here, in the air... Yeah.
You wanna play boy? I'll give you that.
I'm the bomb, demolition, you ain't built for that.
You breaking your neck for butt, I ain't feeling that. [nah]
Sweat and blood, til the billions stack.
I'm outside of the box, you riding in a Scion.
Highway to hell that I'm on, hoping God will let be bygones,
all I spend my time on, tryna get my climb on,
til I'm chilling on the final rung, then I'ma climb on.
I just work me to the bones,
death is all that's promised, filthy's how I'm tryna go.
They saying that I can't, like I don't know my abilities.
They can't touch him but they feeling me. [hit repeat]
[Chorus]
Sometimes I feel I'm so alone, [so alone]
but they don't, know. [they don't know]
Times are changing as we grow, [as we grow]
just gotta know. [gotta know, oh oh oh..]
oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh,
Alone...
Alone... [ah]
