[Intro: Mr. Porter]

Runyon

Where ya mama at?

Runyon Ave

[Chorus: Mr. Porter]

I can make it by myself

I don't need no help from no one else

'Cause if I didn't make it or have no wealth

I think I'd still be here, by myself

I pray to God whenever I need help

Other than that I was by, by myself

I did it by myself, by myself

I made it by myself, that's why I'm by myself

[Verse 1: Proof]

So much pain it made me, through the struggle that raised me

From the late 80's to Rabeez, on to Jay-Z

Dead-beat and lazy, still had that baby

Hair was Krazy as Drazy, hoping rap would pay me

I had the dreads in tube sticks, writing these new hits

Crystalised the blueprints, then spit it on two inch

Just headed to ruins, no warnings, I knew it

Never did act foolish, 'til this day I'm cool with

Every man I've started with, now I'm under the heart of it

Pushing with my all my strength, just tearing my cartilage

If only a quarter rich, I'm happy with that

Hood envy think I'm stingy, they come at me with gats

Why don't you listen for a second where I'm exactly I'm at

The credibility is slim, true, I'm backing all that

And for this y'all testing me, dissing my recipe

When every real man makes out his own destiny, right?

[Chorus: Mr. Porter]

I can make it by myself

I don't need no help from no one else

'Cause if I didn't make it or have no wealth

I think I'd still be here, by myself

I pray to God whenever I need help

Other than that I was by, by myself

I did it by myself, by myself

I made it by myself, that's why I'm by myself

[Verse 2: Proof]

My first breath of air, I took it

My first steps I walked, I took it

My first ass whooping at home, I took it

So why you in my space with your face all crooked?

Look it! I ain't caught up in the way of green

Two things: Stay true and raise my seeds

Now you may think I need to impress you

But this is how it is, I can only be just Proof

You just acting strange for me to go and stress to

A heart with nothing but love is oh so special

Yes dude! Ain't no reason to point fingers

Everybody know who the real Detroit king is

I know who my team is, I know who on the penis

My dream is to distinguish foes and extinguish

The flame of hate, I'm glad you came my way

Do me a favour, be like Proof and be a man today, okay?

[Chorus: Mr. Porter]

I can make it by myself

I don't need no help from no one else

'Cause if I didn't make it or have no wealth

I think I'd still be here, by myself

I pray to God whenever I need help

Other than that I was by, by myself

I did it by myself, by myself

I made it by myself, that's why I'm by myself
