SOLO
Iyaz/The Sleeze Lyrics

Well ya dun know its ya boy I-Y-A-Z
Introducing himself as Iyaz

Alongside the man J-R'a
Acknowledging the collaboration with J-R'a

I said I don't want to walk this earth
Expressing the desire to have companionship while living one's life on earth

If I gotta do it, solo.
Preferring not to face the challenges and struggles of life alone

See how we used to be a team
Reflecting on how they used to work together as a cohesive unit

Runnin' the streets (yeah)
Being active and successful in their pursuits

We was living out our dream (oh)
Realizing their aspirations and achieving their goals

You used to be my rider
Acknowledging the past companionship of the listener

I was your provider
Expressing the desire to support and care for the former partner

Now we separated in two
Highlighting the current state of being apart and alone

Oh baby you left and sailed away alone (Yeah, alone)
Expressing the pain and loneliness felt due to the departure of the partner

And now you got me trapped up on this island
Feeling stuck and helpless without the partner

With no way to get home
Having no means of returning to a happier and more fulfilling life

And I don't wanna go go
Expressing the reluctance to move on or face the future alone

I don't wanna it no no
Reiterating the desire to avoid living life without a partner

Cause I was so high
Remembering the good times and elation felt in the past with the partner

And now I'm so low
Feeling down, depressed and lonely without the partner

Said I don't want to walk this earth
Reiterating the reluctance to face the world alone

You was the beat on to my top line,
Acknowledging the important role that the partner played in their life

Put us together
Highlighting the synergy and chemistry they shared while working together

And you'd have to hit the rewind
Reiterating how they complimented each other's talents and abilities

See, you give me a purpose
Stating how the partner gave them meaning and direction in life

Now I'm getting nervous
Feeling anxious and worried about the future without the partner

That my heart will never sing again
Feeling like they will never feel joy or happiness in their heart again

Oh, when we was runnin' up the airways,
Reminiscing about the successful times spent working together

They knew us from the Virgin Islands to the U.K.
Celebrating the recognition and fame they achieved together

See, we was on the way to the platinum and gold
Recalling their shared aspirations and goals of achieving music industry accolades

Never thought that you'd go but you did ya, ya you did.
Expressing surprise and sadness about the partner leaving

I don't wanna walk S-O-L-O
Using the spelling of the word 'solo' to emphasis the desire to avoid being alone

And I don't wanna go, go
Reiterating the reluctance to face the future alone

Oh no oh, no uh no,
Expressing desperation and despair

I don't wanna walk (S-O-L-O)
Repeating the desire to avoid being alone
