To Be Alone
Omar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, I keep a prison bible
Looking for the money, I don't have to put in titles
From the east side, everybody has each others rivals
Not street smart, but, outta trouble is what I know
Keep the speaker right across the fucking table
Been working finding, to get into labels
The hustle never stops, too busy getting paper
God only knows when I can be the next savior, yeah, right alone
Feelings kept right inside a fucking vault
That's why I never share the fucking code
Fucking talented with my music and my thoughts, yeah
Man, this rhythm got me into my little zone
Really tired from ya, saying that this isn't art
Fucking jealous, keep your hating out the door
Lil One trying to blow up the fucking charts
That's another that they even fucking know
Gotta be alone
I never got the chance to say I really love you
Its really rare for someone to really wanna fuck you
She got more then 10k on Instagram
Shining like a diamond with an attitude, yeah yeah
Girl, you're the one, you really on fire
Hustle on the business, you look tired
If I make it you know that I really got you, cause you're the one
Gotta be alone
Yeah, I keep a prison bible
Looking for the money, I don't have to put in titles
From the east side, everybody has each others rivals
Not street smart, but, outta trouble is what I know
Keep the speaker right across the fucking table
Been working finding, to get into labels
The hustle never stops, too busy getting paper
God only knows when I can be the next savior, yeah, right alone
Feelings kept right inside a fucking vault
That's why I never share the fucking code
Fucking talented with my music and my thoughts, yeah
Man, this rhythm got me into my little zone
Really tired from ya, saying that this isn't art
Fucking jealous, keep your hating out the door




Lil One trying to blow up the fucking charts
That's another that they even fucking know

I love how he knows he’s 100% haunted but every time something paranormal happens he tries to debunk it. “It might be electrical problems” or “ I might of stepped on the rocking chair” 😂 love u Omar!

@RobertHosein

Exactly what I was thinking lmao

@humanchannel7825

Because the truth only proves that there’s something more powerful that he can’t explain. He trying to calm himself
