[Hook]

And though the trouble’s in the dark

I will hold all the lights on you

We give ourselves a shining star

All alone, all alone

[Verse 1: Dre Murray]

You threw me in that ocean and I can’t swim

But drowning is second nature Sharks ready to hate you

Sharks ready to eat youViolence ready to meet you

So I’m a time bomb Whole body covered in ether

Ready to show the world my insides; looking for that nice young boy, well he been died

Been trying to reach him; streets dying to keep him

Coaches see is ambition Use Len Bias to teach him

But they can’t save him, though they mean well

It’s not the same pedigree; they never seen Hell

They fathers fed them legacy; they never seen frail

I’d be happy with a Sunday where I see male

Pick up his young child and take him to the field

I’m like maybe one day ‘cause that’s not real

‘Til then I’m dodging gun play and pray I’m in your will

Alone on this journey; pray I don’t get killed

[Hook]

Though the trouble’s in the dark

I will hold all the lights on you

We give ourselves a shining start

All alone. All alone

[Verse 2: Dre Murray]

I’m 15 looking at this black queen

Raising three men in a household where that dream

Was obtained and the way was shown on that screen

Entertainment or playing for some whack team

Or maybe throw some work up on the scales

Seen many kin near me fail and fall due to that crack beam

What would you do when the man of the house

Is nil; you hustle ‘cause those bills they keep stacking

And we view this as just a normality

Around my way, broken home’s a technicality

So tragic, the hero is absent

And Lois Lane gotta go and pull three salaries

‘Cause these growing boys don’t count calories

Plus them J’s is nice, these pants too tight

And when I see these Pro Wings, they starting a fight

Momma love me but my heart telling me this ain’t right

It ain’t life

[Hook]

Though the trouble’s in the dark

I will hold all the lights on you

We give ourselves a shining start

All alone. All alone
