On My Own (I Got You) - Kutt Calhoun, Demond Jones

I’m on my own now, oh

Picking up the pieces, I did it for a reason

I’m on my own now, oh

It’s for the people, I got them fiending

I got what you want

Yea I got you, I got you, I got you

I got what you want

Yea I got you, I got you, I got you

Busted, disgusted and looking ugly is how I was 'posed to feel when I left the

label I fucked with

Niggas thought I was bluffing 'til Kutty up and did something

Be damned if I stuck around and get treated like I was nothing

Especially since I been around before this label was torchin'

Started out in the basement creating dancing moves on the porches

Before this shit became a job we was humble and all enjoyed it

Definitely before the distance between us and making Forbes list

I had a revelation, Kutt I don’t think they hear you

I finally see my future, Strange Music wasn’t in it

I got down on my knees and asked the Lord for forgiveness

He brought me out the darkness with a whole new beginning

Now, now I got my label in tact and who got my back is who matters

Back with a vengeance, I’m in this, plus dissolving the chatter

I’m 'bout my business, these middle fingers to all who done fathom

Me falling off without Strange, I tell them all when they asking

Never did they give a nigga a reason to leave a brother out in the cold

When it came to voicing opinions, get it off of your chest I was told

So went a couple songs with the meaning, made a lot of people question my growth

With the label I’m with now the meaning was the number one motive they chose

Okay, let that be the reason, those false allegations got old

If you ain’t man enough to man up, you stand up with a hand up your ass and get

told

What to do, what to say, what to wear, who to talk to so damn passive it shows

Wonder how a nigga losses respect, it ain’t hard when you ain’t in control

And I’m a rebel, refusing to show alliance

Resisting any authority, known to react to violence

Record exec’s are flustered, can’t hush him or keep him quiet

Cause a phoenix rise from the ashes, new life is after you die (feel me)

I got my head on, if you’ve ever been led on

Thinking something it’s not, well then I’m that nigga to bet on

Peep the weakness it’s sorted, I packed my bags and I set on a mission to bring

the truth to the light and tell you what Mel on, nigga

So since I left it’s been on me, to do it, all by my lonely

I’m the truest, artist you gon' see out on four sides of the country

I put in fourteen plus years in this, know a little something about business

Plus them connects I got will blow your mind

And it ain’t got shit to do with spittin' this here

This shit come easy, better ask the last one I was rocking with 'bout how I

thread the needle

Cut from my own cloth, now I’m my own boss and that’s why Melvin lethal

I got they noses wide open, I tried to tell you people

The biggest statement you can make is never sell your freedom

Reality TV, mixtape, full length album, EP

Black Gold E-N-T got he and she and everybody else caught on the weekly

I handle it all discreetly, lining my ducks in a row

No people would hate to see me piling the bucks as I go

So I stack 'em to death, despite of what happened I’m stressed

Free doing business, what you can’t see the closed caption projects

Now just follow the story, witness me bring it along

Bet once it’s over you’ll be singing this song
