Walk Alone Lyrics - How I Got Over - The Roots

Trapped, no shield, no sword 

The unbeaten path got my soul so sore 

Allured by the lust, something money can't cure 

The Devil want me as is, but God, He want more 

Eyes closed, eyes open, great another day, here we go 

Like a nigga woke up late in The Truman Show 

Livin' life without a care, mean poker face 

But I'm forced to play solitaire 'til I get up out of here 

Move like a wanted man with a bounty on his head 

Work alone, sleep alone, eat alone, daily bread 

Countin' till my fingers' red, how you gon' judge a man 

Walkin' in the shoes of a man with a broken leg? 

Flame on the trail headed for the powder keg 

Last place in the race I ain't never led 

Like I ain't never bled, time to get up out of bed 

Servin' in the army of one, it's on again

Walk alone, I walk alone, you know I walk all alone 

I always been on my own ever since the day I was born 

So I don't mind walkin' alone 

Walk alone, I walk alone, you know I walk all alone 

I always been on my own ever since the day I was born 

So I don't mind walkin' alone 

I'm in a chess match, I'm in a death trap 

I'm tryin' to find out where the eggs in the nest at 

I'm one blood when the sky turns jet black 

No love in the world can correct that 

I'm in a slow lane, I'm on my Cobain 

I'm in the new spot tryin' to run a old game 

I got a new chick, put out my old flame 

No peace, no sleep, no love for a young beast 

You can put me in a cage 

You can put me in the jungle where the lion get blazed 

There ain't no hell like the hell I raise 

I'd die in the bed I made 'fore I lay with a love I loathe 

Photos 

I'm a snake in the garden of bones 

I'm a loner in a world of clones 

I'm the piece that don't belong, see I roam 

Where the the Reaper roam 'til they put my name on a stone 

Walk alone, I walk alone, you know I walk all alone 

I always been on my own ever since the day I was born 

So I don't mind walkin' alone 

Walk alone, I walk alone, you know I walk all alone 

I always been on my own ever since the day I was born 

So I don't mind walkin' alone 

The longest walk I'll probably ever be on 

The Road to Perdition, guess I'm finna get my plea on 

I pray these wings strong enough to carry me on 

I promise every second felt as if it took an eon 

Walkin' like the lost boys of Sierra Leone 

The trail of tears what they got me like a Cherokee on 

Between the ears somethin' I require therapy on 

For the workin' to the bone like my name Robert Dion 

I go above and beyond, the duty called, truly y'all 

Even though they kind of blew me off like a booty call 

Asked me if I'm just another muli or a movie star 

Forced to face the music like a graduate of Juilliard 

Walk alone, talk alone, get my Charlie Parker on 

Make my mark alone, shed light upon the dark alone 

Get my sparkle on, it's a mission I'm embarkin' on 

A kamikaze in the danger zone far from home 

Walk alone, I walk alone, you know I walk all alone 

I always been on my own ever since the day I was born 

So I don't mind walkin' alone 

Walk alone, I walk alone, you know I walk all alone 

I always been on my own ever since the day I was born
