oooh oooh ohh

did it on my own, i did it on my own


couldn't wait on u gotta stand on my own too
yeah we just weren't on the same beat

right way goin down the wrong street
uh it gets real deep u dig trynna feel me
it is what it will be

say youve been there but its still means
nothing
where were u when a ^!$$% had nothing

got kicked outta the crib two at a time
sleeping on couches outta my mind
uh i gotta get on the grind pray god get on the line

i got nothin but time but u can never take none of mine
remember that


Chorus:
please don't take it wrong when i tell u that i'm alone and cuz
i appreciate the love and i appreciate the trouble

but it just wasn't enough so i did it on my own, did it on my own
i did it on my own, did it on my own, i did it on my own


yeah right on cue came in the game no IOUs
im the only one liable say u aint made it till they lie on u
4 am, hair down, long drive, lil child

goin to see his daddy on lock down aint really seen em since ,he got out
made me my own mad look around count about 4 friends
i asked for this but don't need no help i aint ask for %#@!


Chorus:
please don't take it wrong when i tell u that im alone and cuz

i appreciate the love and i appreciate the trouble
but it just wasn't enough so i did it on my own, did it on my own
i did it on my own, did it on my own, i did it on my own


my blood, my sweat, my tears
my days, my nights, my years

i did it all when they said that i couldn't
thats why im standin here telling you


Chorus:
please don't take it wrong when i tell u that im alone and cuz
i appreciate the love and i appreciate the trouble

but it just wasn't enough so i did it on my own, did it on my own
i did it on my own, did it on my own, i did it on my own
