Alone Tonight Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Nightmares. Wipe tears
Night terrors in my right ear
Close eyes
Step into a place where I'm half awake but still cold inside
Screaming to the top of my lungs when I enter
Only thing coming out is a whisper
Fight free to a body full of sweat. Nose full of blood
In the dream. I got to remember

What am I afraid of?
Afraid of?
That none of my plans will ever cake up
That me and my love will ever break up
Forever live in a dream to never wake up
Depending on God, cause when I say stuff
I fuck everything up.
Tend to delay what -
- what was coming to my way thus
Trust none like a priest with a pay cut
Knew the cost. Knew the loss
Walk through skies when I use the force
Used to farce. All went wrong
Defence mechanism's what I used to force
My agenda...???
???
Cause when it all comes down, and he don't come round
All I see is shame in everything I've lost
Everything I've lost
Everything I've lost
Consequences
Swear to God that our heart's relentless
Telling myself "You better calm your senses
If you want to see past when the lies relinquish"

All for purpose. Watch the sequence
Keep the faith. Assemble all the pieces
Chasing goals will really take it's toll
Sell your soul to be the next J. Cole
Cause I don't want to feel like I'm on my own, to fight
Better pump your breaks. Niggas that fake'll be the new found Drake
Just tell me everything is going to be alright
Be the new found Drake
Be the new found Drake
Niggas that fake'll be the new found...
Niggas that fake'll be the new found Drake
Niggas that fake'll be the new found Drake
Sell your soul to be the next J.Cole
Blow CEOs to be the new J.Los
What the fuck am I hussling for?
Black thoughts. Black thoughts
Black sparks in my back yard
Got no money in a black bag
Black strap. You know what that's for
Suicide. Who am I?
Where am I going? Who decides?
Feels like I'm drowning in a pool alive
With everybody on the side yelling "Do or die"
Do or die. Chose to do
Still having trouble coming out the pool

A cool-ass nigga when I make this move -
- with no chess pieces. Am I made to lose?
Am I made to lose?
Am I made to lose?
Take your pick. Hope it's right
Cause I don't really want to feel alone -
- tonight
