[hook]I don’t wanna be aloneI don’t wanna be aloneI don’t wanna be aloneI don’t wanna be aloneI don’t wanna be aloneI don’t wanna be alone‘cause ya know, somewhere insideI cannot findThe feeling I got from youNo, somewhere insideI cannot findThe feeling I got from you, ho[verse 1]Hard for a pitchfork, soft for a rockefellerMusic was my side chick, but now we’re moving in togetherAlways felt misunderstood, I guess I have to tolerateMy swag jehovah witness, dude, it never take a holidayApc jeans, brown leather jacket onKitsuné cable knit, cardigan from rag & boneThick filipino chick, homemade braceletHer booty make her just a rapper, she ain’t gotta say shitI’m someone they admireSet the game ablaze, I’m an arcade fireLaughed at my rise like my motion was funnyYes, ashy to classy, my lotion is moneyThe ride is easy when the dollar’s there to grease the wheelsNow everybody tell me what to do and how to feelIt seems the more I try to connect with the worldI am feeling more alone than I ever have felt beforeI wanna pick up the phone, ask my dad how to handle itBut what will happen when my dad’s not there to answer it?I try to clear my mind of thoughts that only slow me downLike when these niggas call me “faggot” and “we homies now”But we are not homies, I just keep you around‘cause all your talkin’ is the noise I need to kill the soundOf all these voices tellin’ me no one can help me outWe are alone I’m just the only one to figure out[hook][verse 2]“you are the bestest, I will obey you”These words I wrote for you when you were fuckin’ other dudesThe only thing I need from you now is some solitudeActions over words, “girls will be girls,” that’s all it provesI used to be this guy sittin’ with an open heartNow my computer screen’s the only place I feel a sparkI don’t fuck with fake bitches except for when I fuck with fake bitchesCanon 5d to take pictures of these girls who wouldn’t talk to me a year ago49er chick askin’ for money, she get zero, thoughHere I go again talkin’ money, women, and clothes, and cars, right?You could switch all of my words out with plies’, right?People sayin’ we’re the same, please, come from under meWe are just some rappers, got no luxury of subtletyNo subjects when we’re rappin’, we say it like we hear itI put it on a track and I hope you get the spirit ‘cause[hook]
