On My Own Lyrics - Lecrae

I've come a long way 

From a very hard place 

It's been a hard race 

But somehow I found my way home 

I've walked a long road 

To where only God knows 

But when the trumpet blows you know 

I did it all on my own 

Oh-oh-oh-oh 

Ohhhhhh 

Oh-oh-oh-oh 

Ohhhhhh

I've been pushing hard 

I've been praying harder 

Only Heaven can help me 

They took my earthly father 

Martyred and promised me death then walked me into my grave 

I'd rather die a free man then live on Earth a slave 

I'm fighting for people they put in chains 

They stripped our heritage, they took our names 

Put our women to shame 

Whipped us and beat us, mislead us but they can't take our passion 

Take my body but my soul won't fit inside your casket 

Forget what I said, forget what I did 

I did what I had to do and I'd do it all again 

And if you're going through hell 

Keep it going, my baby promise that Heaven is near

I've come a long way 

From a very hard place 

It's been a hard race 

But somehow I found my way home 

I've walked a long road 

To where only God knows 

But when the trumpet blows you know 

I did it all on my own 

Oh-oh-oh-oh 

Ohhhhhh 

Oh-oh-oh-oh 

Ohhhhhh 

Taken from Africa 

Treated like animals 

Culturally denigrated 

Broke up our families 

Prison of false religion, the same God you lied on 

The same God I rely on, I'ma strive on 

Alone just a small tribe 

Fought for truth for y'all, died 

Martyrs live forever so 

Out the depths we all rise 

Die for a freedom that I'll never see 

I pray y'all live it to the fullest for my legacy 

Let's go 

Forget what I said, forget what I did 

I did what I had to do and I'd do it all again 

And if you're going through hell 

Keep it going, my baby promise that Heaven is near 

I've come a long way 

From a very hard place 

It's been a hard race 

But somehow I found my way home 

I've walked a long road 

To where only God knows 

But when the trumpet blows you know 

I did it all on my own 

Oh-oh-oh-oh 

Ohhhhhh 

I did it all on my own 

Oh-oh-oh-oh 

Ohhhhhh 

I did it all on my own
