In Jah Vinci's song U Alone, the artist talks about the difficulty of trusting people in his life due to the prevalence of fake friends and grudges. He expresses his frustration with people who claim to love him and support him, only to turn on him when he achieves success. Jah Vinci claims that he would rather trust inanimate objects like furniture or vehicles than rely on people he cannot rely on. Despite the hardships he has faced in his life, Jah Vinci turns to Jah (another name for God) for guidance and support.
The lyrics of U Alone paint a picture of a man who has been let down by those around him and is struggling to trust anyone. Jah Vinci references his experiences in the streets and his hard work to achieve success, but expresses disappointment in those who were not there to support him along the way. He reinforces his stance on trusting no one but Jah, suggesting that even his relationships with women are fraught with distrust. Throughout the song, Jah Vinci maintains his faith in Jah as a trustworthy and reliable source of guidance.
