oooh oooh ohh



did it on my own, i did it on my own



couldn't wait on u gotta stand on my own too

yeah we just weren't on the same beat

right way goin down the wrong street

uh it gets real deep u dig trynna feel me

it is what it will be

say youve been there but its still means

nothing

where were u when a nigga had nothing

got kicked outta the crib two at a time

sleeping on couches outta my mind

uh i gotta get on the grind pray god get on the line

i got nothin but time but u can never take none of mine

remember that



Chorus:

please don't take it wrong when i tell u that i'm alone and cuz

i appreciate the love and i appreciate the trouble

but it just wasn't enough so i did it on my own, did it on my own

i did it on my own, did it on my own, i did it on my own



yeah right on cue came in the game no IOUs

im the only one liable say u aint made it till they lie on u

4 am, hair down, long drive, lil child

goin to see his daddy on lock down aint really seen em since ,he got out

made me my own mad look around count about 4 friends

i asked for this but don't need no help i aint ask for shit



Chorus:

please don't take it wrong when i tell u that im alone and cuz

i appreciate the love and i appreciate the trouble

but it just wasn't enough so i did it on my own, did it on my own

i did it on my own, did it on my own, i did it on my own



my blood, my sweat, my tears

my days, my nights, my years

i did it all when they said that i couldn't

thats why im standin here telling you



Chorus:

please don't take it wrong when i tell u that im alone and cuz

i appreciate the love and i appreciate the trouble

but it just wasn't enough so i did it on my own, did it on my own

i did it on my own, did it on my own, i did it on my own
