Do It Alone
by: Kid Cudi[VERSE 1]
These voices they tell me go. Why should I ever go?
Man I'm so comfortable here, Why should I head to a place where people live in fear?
Stand off it's the real year, something they can really feel.
See, I'll never get, why the earth is a puzzle that'll never fit.
I'm out of their world.
So why should I leave my sanctuary?
Man, The whole thought of that is scary.
How do I know that their kind will hear me out.
Will they understand I'm flying a different route.
Pose as a human being, mother moon tells me that I need my help.
I guess these are the cards she threw out and dealt.
She said I gotta do it alone, She said I gotta do it alone.
I guess I gotta go.
[CHORUS]
You gotta do it alone man, You gotta do it alone.
You gotta do it alone man, go on your own.
Its bigger then you man. Its bigger then you. Its bigger then you man.
[VERSE 2]
She said to pack my bags dawg, and never look back.
This is something that I have to do.
A hero, to save the world.
A hero, with no girl and no family.
Just sacrifice as a friend, and struggle is the enemy. But weed is the remedy.
And if you get lonely boy, you can just roll up a dutch and keep ya head high.
Wanna see home, look at the sky.
Remember your not strange, but your not the same man.
[CHORUS]
