Caleb Gordon - Lonely lyrics

Whenever you decide to become yourself
You become lonely (Why)
Because everyone around you
Wants you to be like them
Or they want you to be them
So when you discover that you are unique
You are special you are important
And you decide to become who you are
And achieve what you were dreaming
Loneliness is the rеsult

Lately, I been so alone
And I'm cool with being lonеly
It's a lot going on
Switched to a whole 'nother road
And I done lost so many homies
I can't complain
No, we ain't on the same thing
I tried to tell 'em life ain't a game

Everything I do gotta give it one hunnid


But the ones 'round me
Ain't wanna give nothing
The love I'ma give out free
But If you don't wanna grow with the team
Then I gotta keep runnin'

They say I'm doin' too much
They don't wanna do nothin'
No, I ain't stuntin'
I'm just answering the call from the King
It's way, way bigger than me

Back then fittin' in
Being cool was the thing got up outta school
Realized I was a fool to believe
In what they said about me
At the end of the day, oh I'ma be me
Young CG i'ma smile, I'ma dance
Live life, be free mmm
I'ma smile, I'ma dance live life, be free
Mmm

Lately, I been so alone
And I'm cool with being lonely
It's a lot going on
Switched to a whole 'nother road
I done lost so many homies
But, I can't complain
No, we ain't on the same thing
Yeah, I tried to tell 'em life ain't a game

Everything I do gotta give it one hunnid
But the ones 'round me
Ain't wanna give nothing
The love I'ma give out free
But If you don't wanna grow with the team
Then I gotta keep runnin'

I do not care if you rock with me
Yeah we move in abundance, not poverty
I can see that they envy, they watching me
Tryna get what I got
No there ain't no difference
'tween me and you
You know we serve the same God
You can do it too
But you can't be scared to be alone
Cuz that's the only way the
Lord gon' speak to you
When there's no one around
He gon' show you who you are
Who He made you to be
It's hard to do when you glued to the screen
Had to cut out my usual routine
But now I'm on route to my dreams that's why

I'm so alone but I'm cool with being lonely
It's a lot going on
Switched to a whole 'nother road
I done lost so many homies
But, I can't complain
No, we ain't on the same thing
Yeah, I tried to tell 'em life ain't a game

Everything I do gotta give it one hunnid
But the ones 'round me
They ain't wanna give nothing
The love I'ma give out free
But If you don't wanna grow with the team
Then I gotta keep runnin'

I'm lonely now because-
A leader is always lonely
Because they are outfront
There's no one out there with them
When you think about it
If you have everyone around you
Then you're part of the crowd (That's true)
So leaders are- t They live a lonely life
But t-they chose that loneliness
And that's important
You have to chose to be alone
If you're going to change the world
And every great leader in history
As you study them
They really found their true self
When they were alone
You know Moses was in the wilderness
Jesus Christ in the desert
Paul went to the desert you know and-
So when you pursue something
That is more important than the crowd
You end up leading the crowd (Wow)
Someone said you cannot lead an orchestra
Unless you turn your back to the crowd
