On My Own

Lyrics

[Intro: Ilan & Blue MC] (Oh, oh, oh, oh) (Oh, oh, oh, oh) (Oh, oh, oh, oh) (Do it on my own, oh) (Do it on my own, oh) (Do it on my own, oh) (Do it on my own, oh) (Do it on my own, oh) (Do it on my own, oh) (Do it on my own, oh) (Do it on my own, oh) [Chorus: Ilan] Only so much I can't take it anymore, can't take it anymore Life in the big smoke I'll do it on my own, I'll do it on my own, oh Only so much I can't take it anymore, can't take it anymore Life in the big smoke I'll do it on my own, I'll do it on my own, oh [Verse 1: Blue MC] A couple of bucks A ticket and a wing and a prayer A bit of luck to help me get there And what was it that would await? I didn't care, I just knew it was gonna be better than here I took the dare, I propositioned myself To get somewhere, I could position myself To get somewhere that I could gеt some help To manifest a nеw way to project myself I could see a vision of the person that I wanted to be A street poet and a freakishly good MC Better be sure when you step up to me That you can hit the score 'Cause I'm gonna murder your team I'm cookies and cream, the perfect combination Of hard and soft in a sweet sensation Both dark and light, I'm your temptation There'll be no mistaking my vocal location [Chorus: Ilan] Only so much I can't take it anymore, can't take it anymore Life in the big smoke I'll do it on my own, I'll do it on my own, oh Only so much I can't take it anymore, can't take it anymore Life in the big smoke I'll do it on my own, I'll do it on my own, oh [Verse 2: Blue MC] Everybody got to do what you got to do 'Cause every day, death is coming after you And so I'm asking you, when you'll be starting to Make the kinda moves that I see you through to Who, what, when, where, why, if not how Are you ever gonna walk the path, if not now? Dig down deep and find the courage to plough through And if you're not there, at least make a vow to I'm so sick of thinking someone else is gonna give me help I gotta help myself I'm sinking quick, I gotta learn to swim Before things get grim and I'm sucked right in 'Cause nobody can dream my dream but me And nobody but me can make it come to be So I break down the shackles of my disbelief And with an appetite for life, I bare my teeth [Chorus: Ilan] Only so much I can't take it anymore, can't take it anymore Life in the big smoke I'll do it on my own, I'll do it on my own, oh Only so much I can't take it anymore, can't take it anymore Life in the big smoke I'll do it on my own, I'll do it on my own, oh [Outro: Ilan & Blue MC] Do it on my own, oh Do it on my own, oh (Oh) Do it on my own, oh (Oh) Do it on my own, oh (Oh, oh, oh, oh) (Oh, oh, oh, oh) (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
