On My Own Lyrics

[Hook: Nikkiya & Emilio Rojas]
Don’t trust you, don’t need you, I’ll be here on my own
Don’t love you, I’ll leave you, I’ll be here on my own
So fuck you, I’ll teach you, I’ll be here on my own
Don’t trust you, don’t need you, I’ll be here on my own


[Verse 1: Emilio Rojas]
The world we living in got me wishing I was a kid again
We were getting in on them jobs, working for shitty bread
Boss jealous, we getting head till we giving tests
Thirsty, yeah I’ll piss in that cup if you took a sip from it, growing up
Most of us sobered up and no one told us adulthood approaching
It’s so abrupt,
windows of opportunity broke or they closed them shut
It’s hard to see the options in front of you open up

I was broke as fuck, money coming in slow, no interest in accounts
You don’t get nothing from O’s, people stuck in they home
They bust it, hustle and blow,
the women that I know will cut a couple for dough
They get pregnant, double in rubbers, fucking insane chicks
Don’t believe in AIDS but AIDS and kids are the same shit
When you taking them tests, it’s life changing
People using any excuse to say you ain’t shit

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Emilio Rojas & Nikkiya]
(Don’t trust you) cause you ain’t got no trust in me
(Don’t love you), yeah cause you ain’t got no love for me
(So fuck you), fuck it, I don’t need your company

I’m better off alone ‘cause honesty is a luxury
I’m giving up a degree and I put my heart in it
And now my life is a movie, you got no parts in it
I’m at the parties where only the stars enter
Where people that graduated, yeah, most of them bartending
If I don’t know your name and you claiming that you knew me
I ain’t too important, you just ain’t important to me

Mama said to pick out my friends, I’m getting choosy
In the same city but moving on to a new street

You live through me, remember when you criticized?
Everything you on is everything I epitomize
I ain’t saying your name so you legitimize

And the kid’ll thrive in environments that you’ll never shine
[Hook]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
