Try It On My Own
50 Cent · Other Songs - 50 Cent
Im not the foolish girl you used to know,
So long ago
Im stronger now
i've learned from my mistakes which way to go,
And i should know.
I put myself aside to do it your way
But now i need to do it all alone
*Chorus*
And i am not afraid to try it on my own
i don't care if im right or wrong
i'll live my life the way i feel
no matter what, i'll keep it real
