We're All Alone

(album: We're All Alone In This Together - 2021)

I remember when I used to be innocent, ain't shit changed
I'm a young black belligerent
Child of an immigrant, lifestyle frivolous
'Round here we keep bad company 'cause them people pay dividends
What's the point of being rich when your family ain't?
It's like flying first class on a crashing plane
Dinners with the same niggas, just higher bills
And all the models Himalayan, they got higher heels

You know we're all alone in this together, right?
(Quiet on set, places everybody)
You know the seats in the Aston red leather, like
(And action) Yeah

I had dreams of doing architecture
Or sitting through a Harvard lecture
How the fuck I end up being Harvey Specter?
Young black art collector, I could take the pressure
Had the scales, now suits that come made to measure
I drew the thin line between love and hate
Double date, what you drinkin'? Let me cut the games
Backstab a man, I'd rather that you cut my face
If I ain't charming the women, it's all the fucking snakes
You idolize the girl, there's no way I'd wife her
She only fucks with rich niggas, that's the way I like it
I can't fabricate the truth, it's just the way I write it
You got points on your creative license
Ask Rapz, that's a criminal graduating in civil law
Nothing ain't civil 'bout this Civil War
Grip a four, Gryffindor, this'll have you lying on your chest
I've got 99 marks and wasn't trying on my test
I'm blessed (Why?)
Because the pasta is gamberoni, the watch is a classic Rollie
The pussy is sacred, it's Holy like matrimony
I'm paying her alimony to numb all the acrimony
The flight is to Santorini, the car is a Lamborghini
The cheese, the cheddar, the mozzarella, the fettuccini
The only aim, look at my ego in the day in a life
And see what happens when you got the fucking game in a vice
We're all alone

I got a message from a kid on Sunday morning
Said he don't know what to do and that he's thinking of killing himself
Me and him got more in common than he thinks
But I tell him to see a shrink so I can go on and live with myself
I knew that my life was a film
From when I had to share a bed with my mum and I was pissing myself
I just want my flowers while I'm here
So I can put them at the front of the grave that I've been digging myself
I grew up in a two-bed flat with seven people living with me
You don't know what I did for myself
My mum's the one that gave me opportunities
And put me in positions that I couldn't have pictured myself
We're from Nigeria, Benin City, Sin City
Don't know what it's like? Take a trip for yourself
Poverty's killing us, the government's killing us
If they ain't killing us, then we're killing ourselves
I would die for the niggas I love
My life's full of plotholes, and I'm filling 'em up
I told mummy, "I ain't nothing like my father"
I'ma show her there's a different definition to love
I tell my fans we're all alone in this together
You can trust me, all the shit you been feeling, you're feeling with me
We all the took the wrong turns in different streets
We all cry the same tears on different cheeks
I got a message from a kid on Monday morning
Said he's grateful I responded and he's feeling at peace with himself
Me and him got more in common than he thinks
But I tell him it's nothing big so I can go on and live with myself
I knew the God would cast me as the leader
Something special when he messaged me and told me that I saved his life
In twenty-three years, I done so much wrong
But in that moment, I just felt like I had made it right

Hey Dave, it's Mollie Cowen
Um, we sent to you a, um, movie
An NDA to sign, um, in an e-mail and also by DocuSign
For, um, a movie called ****, um, which **** is directing with ****
Nina Gold is casting
Ehm, there's very little info that we have
But, um, I think we definitely want to put our hat in the ring for and go for
If there is a way in which you could do a take out there
Please have a look and get back right away, thanks, bye
