On My Own
Shane Eagle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah stay smoking, stay smoking

I been on my own
I been smoking on my own
I been drinking on my own
I stay thinking on my own getting high
I been smoking on my own
I been posted on my own
I been cooking on my own
I been smoking on my own getting high

Gotta do this shit by yourself
Gotta get rich by yourself
Only competition is myself
Watch the album jump off the shelf
Rap like the greatest
Move like the matrix
Fuck all the basics
Tell all my niggas the best place to be is underestimated
Smoke a blunt or read the bible
All my niggas in the final
Got the wave, no title
Got the album on a vinyl
Last night I was in Africa
This morning I woke up in Europe
I got these niggas so curious
I got that fast and the furious
Bling, bling, bling, bling
Young nigga from the TV show
That one deep in the kitchen
Best rapper, ain’t a secret though
I did this shit for the streets
I got these rappers on lit shit
I made these niggas say please
You rappers is rapping to leave

I been on my own
I been smoking on my own
I been drinking on my own
I stay thinking on my own getting high
I been smoking on my own
I been posted on my own
I been cooking on my own
I been smoking on my own getting high

I do not talk
Watch how I move
They study my moves
I move on the low
They hit up my phone
I’m checking their tone
They tell me that, “Eagle we need you for features, we need you for songs.” (Hold up)
But they cannot do it like this
Coley, Coley on the wrist
You too focused on your bitch, yeah
You don’t even know the sitch, yeah
Snapping the angles the wrong way
I might get dressed for the runway
They might catch up to me some day
Eagle say fuck with the boss say
Ring, ring, ring, I need some rings, rings, rings
Working all day and night nigga, me and the music in sync, sync, sync
Chasing the greatest, say fuck all the favors
Got niggas on payment, got bitches on labor
The flow is a razor, I’m taking the paper
So fuck all you niggas

I been on my own
I been smoking on my own
I been drinking on my own
I stay thinking on my own getting high
I been smoking on my own
I been posted on my own




I been cooking on my own
I been smoking on my own getting high
