Remember first time we met day one Kids in the garden' playin' games heaven' fun Excitin' and amazin' havin' a real friend of mine Face to face and eye to eye Usin' our hands to buy and supply Chillin' is cool from January to June And we still sticked together like the glue And know the rules Forever you and I and believe it was clear If I ever should fall I could count on you with no fear Runnin' out of time I see who's fake Alone without protection from all them snakes All for one one for all I was told Black white yellow no matter if your young or old Nana's in the house to let you know What I see is how I feel and damn I'm alone I am lonely lonely lonely I am lonely lonely in my life I am lonely lonely lonely God help me help me to survive! Bridge Everybody's trippin' on me Oh lord come help me please I did some bad things in my life Why can't you rescue me 'cause you've got all I need I know I got to pay the price Lonely (2x) Cheepin' through the streets at night after a fuss and fight Tears in my eyes I'm a man lookin' for the light Dark is the path I know he will rescue me The lord is my shepherd I'm cool despite emergency Whom shall I fear except the god Thank you for the blessin' and the skills on the mic Five years we know there's no diggity Free at last see the light in me What goes up must come down I'll be around while you heading towards deathtown Always look forward hardly never look back So many tears and the snakes on my jock Now I'm riding in my big fat ride Your ass is late so look for the line Nana in the house to let you know What I see is how I feel so leave me alone Lonely (3x) Knock on my door whom you lookin' for A dream or reality enemies at my door Eyes I realize it's fantasize I must be high So let me live before I die Once again grab the bottle twist the cap To survive your life is yours my life is mine No emotions in this world full of lies Step my step and be versatile Love peace and crash that's what it's all about Alone by yourself than you lack there's no doubt about I'm always into something making moves to improve What would you do if you where in my shoes Boom a letter oops another suicide Meet me for a ride at the boulevard Nana's in the house to let you know What I see is how I feel and damn I'm alone
