[Chali 2NA, Ozomatli - Alone lyrics]
Yo a person who you might know well
Like and trust
Can slither no matter how tight the clutch
They're standing here right
With us, nightly they fight and fuss
With enemies, plot 'til you bite the dust
Their hearts feels like disgust
Thinking their own light's enough
Every fire inside they like to snuff
It's something we might discuss, trust
My mama tight with us
With bullshit, she said, wipe and flush
She taught us how to give praises to God
Not worshipping human pastors
Just call me iconoclast
I'm cracking your wall plaster
People, Americans
Put on pedestals fall faster
Forever the task of never grasping
What they ask for
You question my loyalty, my fidelity
All I want is to peddle
My poetry uncompellingly and
Catch a zone, for God sets the tone
I'm stretched alone until my
Name's etched in stone, that's why
You need to know that you
Walk the trail alone
You can succeed together, but you fail alone
To the bone
Pray together but you get judged alone
Work together but you try alone
You live together but you die alone
Ah ah, la la la, la la la
You live together but you die alone
Ah ah, la la la, la la la
Yo, the human crisis and my life's test
Is to try to conquer
My vices with preciseness
I need to stop putting prices
On what is priceless need to be righteous
And then I'll get a good night's rest
Trying to wipe stress by
Making the fight rest, plus
Bring energy to the lifeless, my mic test
I'm quite blessed and much
Better than theirs, no matter the cheers
Some of my character trait's
Need weather repairs
Individual like the follicles from
Feathers and hairs not addicted to the power
Having cheddar declares
The pursuit of currency can leave
You dead on the stairs
My biggest life lesson
I need to be better prepared
I've never been scared to see what
Eyes are clouded by hate
But now I'm irate, surrounded by J
No cannot escape from being black
Suspected of criminal activity
I'm alone and it's never been
More clear to me now
I see that I was immersed in fallacy
Reversed mechanically
This society's policy is
Ignore the spirit, keep the surface in mind
This Turkish design
So big can keep you purposely blind
Insert the divine
Stop working behind enemy lines
It's finna be time, daily events, enemy signs
It's chilling my spine
To you shaytan set the tone
I'm stretched alone until my
Name's etched in stone, that's why
You need to know that you
Walk the trail alone
You can succeed together, but you fail alone
To the bone
Pray together but you get judged alone
Work together but you try alone
You live together but you die alone
Ah ah, la la la, la la la
You live together but you die alone
Ah ah, la la la, la la la
