On My Own

[00:01.08] I've come a long way
[00:04.13] From a very hard place
[00:07.46] It's been a hard race
[00:09.20] But somehow I found my way home
[00:14.07] I've walked a long road
[00:16.98] To where only God knows
[00:20.51] But when the trumpet blows you know
[00:23.87] I did it all on my own
[00:26.50] Oh-oh-oh-oh
[00:32.65] Ohhhhhh
[00:33.94] Oh-oh-oh-oh
[00:39.35] Ohhhhhh
[00:39.77] I've been pushing hard
[00:41.47] I've been praying harder
[00:42.74] Only Heaven can help me
[00:44.37] They took my earthly father
[00:46.07] Martyred and promised me death then walked me into my grave
[00:49.48] I'd rather die a free man then live on Earth a slave
[00:52.53] I'm fighting for people they put in chains
[00:55.03] They stripped our heritage, they took our names
[00:57.48] Put our women to shame
[00:59.06] Whipped us and beat us, mislead us but they can't take our passion
[01:02.42] Take my body but my soul won't fit inside your casket
[01:05.67] Forget what I said, forget what I did
[01:08.72] I did what I had to do and I'd do it all again
[01:12.26] And if you're going through hell
[01:14.40] Keep it going, my baby promise that Heaven is near
[01:19.47] I've come a long way
[01:22.53] From a very hard place
[01:25.76] It's been a hard race
[01:27.56] But somehow I found my way home
[01:32.41] I've walked a long road
[01:35.39] To where only God knows
[01:38.93] But when the trumpet blows you know
[01:42.22] I did it all on my own
[01:45.77] Oh-oh-oh-oh
[01:51.42] Ohhhhhh
[01:52.23] Oh-oh-oh-oh
[01:55.94] Ohhhhhh
[01:57.83] Taken from Africa
[01:59.49] Treated like animals
[02:01.09] Culturally denigrated
[02:02.69] Broke up our families
[02:03.96] Prison of false religion, the same God you lied on
[02:07.66] The same God I rely on, I'ma strive on
[02:10.83] Alone just a small tribe
[02:12.45] Fought for truth for y'all, died
[02:14.04] Martyrs live forever so
[02:15.72] Out the depths we all rise
[02:17.37] Die for a freedom that I'll never see
[02:19.88] I pray y'all live it to the fullest for my legacy
[02:23.00] Let's go
[02:23.94] Forget what I said, forget what I did
[02:27.10] I did what I had to do and I'd do it all again
[02:30.07] And if you're going through hell
[02:32.86] Keep it going, my baby promise that Heaven is near
[02:37.87] I've come a long way
[02:40.77] From a very hard place
[02:44.13] It's been a hard race
[02:45.90] But somehow I found my way home
[02:50.73] I've walked a long road
[02:53.70] To where only God knows
[02:57.32] But when the trumpet blows you know
[03:00.63] I did it all on my own
[03:04.14] Oh-oh-oh-oh
[03:12.64] Ohhhhhh
[03:13.61] I did it all on my own
[03:19.26] Oh-oh-oh-oh
[03:22.88] Ohhhhhh
[03:26.76] I did it all on my own
[03:29.49]
