[00:03.52]Girl:] About bad guys and stuff.
[00:05.61]Ok, that should be easy.

[00:16.86]And even though they my enemies, I'm keepin em close
[00:19.74]Cause I can, either sink em or keep em afloat
[00:22.61]A while the ship jumpers go searching for life preservers
[00:25.35]I'mma stay here and try and repair the holes in my ship
[00:28.10]Tighten the lose boards in the home that I built
[00:31.28]I did this by myself, I didn't never need your help
[00:34.16]Dudes are dirty, they'll try to fuck ya gal
[00:36.68]Naw dog, you got it all wrong, I'm ya pal
[00:39.54]Put it on his kids lives, lookin you in the eye
[00:42.68]Knowin the whole time, he tellin a fuckin lie
[00:45.52]My go-to guy, I could depend on you
[00:48.05]Only people I could get me were friends like you
[00:51.96]I know everybody out there can relate to stak, if they got stab wounds all up and down they back
[00:55.91]I do it allll by myself
[01:00.55]I don't neeeeed nobody else
[01:06.15]And I'mma do fiiine without your help
[01:12.34]I'mma do it allll by myself
[01:17.58]Some people told me to talk to ya
[01:20.64]Tell you don't go
[01:22.29]I fucked up, but you should come home, though
[01:24.82]I just couldn't fix my mouth to pronounce those syllables
[01:28.04]While I was thinking: "Why postpone the inevitable?"
[01:31.28]If you gon leave me, go on leave me now
[01:33.25]There you go, baby
[01:35.23]Kick me while I'm down
[01:36.43]Yeah I got some issues I need to figure out
[01:38.88]But I know one thing without a doubt
[01:41.45]I can do this alone
[01:43.45]All on my own, I'm grown
[01:45.57]I gotta keep on writin songs
[01:47.72]Get money
[01:48.61]And maybe one day find somebody that really loves me
[01:51.51]Stands beside me through anything
[01:53.74]Loves my when it's sunny, the same as when it's raining
[01:56.16]The life of Stak Mak ain't always entertaining
[01:58.92]Would you love me if I was slanging grams on the track?
[02:02.62]That's love and anything less than that, I'd rather be
[02:05.53]Allll by myself
[02:08.82]I don't neeeeed nobody else
[02:15.07]And I'mma do fiiine without your help
[02:21.02]I'mma do it allll by myself, yeah
[02:27.43]Some said I was a dreamer, others told me I was stupid
[02:41.94]I've been described as difficult, some even called me foolish
[02:44.88]I've always had such a passion for music
[02:47.45]There was no tellin me I wasn't destine to do this
[02:50.29]I didn't get where I'm at by makin excuses
[02:52.84]Cryin cause you didn't deal me no aces and dueces
[02:55.99]I've had my heart broken and been stabbed in the back
[02:59.17]Career endin injuries that didn't stop Stak
[03:01.78]Rhyme after rhyme
[03:03.18]Time and time again
[03:04.80]It ain't all shinin and diamonds
[03:07.13]A lot of time, a lot of grindin
[03:10.57]A lot of beers spill in my environment
[03:12.76]I always felt so empty surrounded by people
[03:16.66]Felt like it was just me, you know what I mean?
[03:19.41]A lot of work went into makin this happen
[03:22.34]Without my people I couldn't have made it rappin
[03:24.22]Because I couldn't have done it
[03:25.87]Allll by myself
[03:29.91]I needed evvvvverybody else
