The Roots - Walk Alone lyrics

rate me

<span class="feat">(feat. Truck North, P.O.R.N., Dice Raw)</span>

<i>[Truck North]</i>

Trapped, no shield, no sword

The unbeaten path got my soul so sore

Allured by the lust, something money can't cure

The Devil want me as is, but God he want more

Eyes closed, eyes open, great another day, here we go

like a nigga woke up late in The Truman Show

Living life without a care, mean pokerface

But I'm forced to play solitaire till I get up out of here

Move like a wanted man with a bounty on his head

Work alone, sleep alone, eat alone, daily bread

Counting till my fingers red, how you gon' judge a man

walking in the shoes of a man with a broken leg?

Flame on the trail headed for the powder keg

Last place in the race I ain't never led

Like I ain't never bled, time to get up out of bed

Serving in the army of one, it's on again

<i>[Chorus 2X: Dice Raw]</i>

Walk alone, I walk alone, you know I walk it alone

I always been on my own, ever since the day I born

So I don't mind walking alone

<i>[P.O.R.N.]</i>

I'm in a chess match, I'm in a death trap

I'm tryna find out where the eggs in the nest at

I'm one blood when the sky turns jet black

No love in the world can correct that

I'm in a slow lane, I'm on my Cobain

I'm in the new spot tryna run a old game

I got a new chick, put out my old flame

No peace, no sleep, no love for a young beast

You can put me in a cage

You can put me in the jungle where the lion get blazed

There ain't no hell like the hell I raise

I'd die in the bed I made 'fore I lay with a love I loathe

I'm a snake in the garden of bones

I'm a loner in a world of clones

I'm the piece that don't belong, see I roam

where the the Reaper roam till they put my name on a stone

<i>[Chorus 2X]</i>

<i>[Black Thought]</i>

The longest walk I'll probably ever be on

The Road to Perdition, guess I'm finna get my plea on

I pray these wings strong enough to carry me on

I promise every second felt as if it took an eon

Walking like the lost boys of Sierra Leone

The trail of tears what they got me like a Cherokee on

Between the ears something I require therapy on

for the working the bone like my name Robert Dion

I go above and beyond, the duty called, truly y'all

Even though they kind of blew me off like a booty call

Asked me if I'm just another muli or a movie star

Forced to face the +music+ like a graduate of Juilliard

Walk alone, talk alone, get my Charlie Parker on

Make my make alone, shed light upon the dark alone

Get my sparkle on, it's a mission I'm embarking on

A kamikaze in the danger zone far from home

<i>[Chorus 2X]</i>
