Born Alone
Journey of Redemption: Adam Calhoun's Reflection on Life's Struggles
Lyrics
It's been a long road
Expressing the length and challenges of the journey
Lord, it's been a long road
Reiteration of the long and difficult journey
And I'm still feelin' like I'm so far from home
Feeling distant from home despite the journey
Could you help me just rest my bones
Seeking solace and rest
And could you help me not feel so alone
Desire for companionship and connection
Came into this world burnin' bright, runnin' fast
Recalling a bold and fast entry into life
I had everything to gain, the whole world in my hand
Initial abundance and opportunities in life
I was so damn tough that you couldn't tell me nothin'
Confidence and resistance to advice
Fightin' and cussin', got me hand-cuffed and
Consequences of a rebellious attitude
Threw my ass in prison, settled in Hells kitchen
Legal troubles and imprisonment
How I treated women, I just called 'em all bitches
Disrespectful treatment of women
Except my momma, she stayed through my whole conviction
Mother's loyalty despite personal mistakes
I did my time, they let me out, it's time to get it
Serving time and the opportunity for redemption
All alone and I'ma die alone
Facing the prospect of dying alone
All that matters is what happens in between, yea
Emphasizing the importance of life's moments
And all I know in a world so cold
Acknowledging the harsh reality of the world
Everything ain't always what it seems, oh no
Warning about the deceptive nature of appearances
Hit the ground runnin', ain't that somethin', take a look at me
Reflecting on the journey with a sense of accomplishment
I don't want the world, I want the world and all it took from me
Desire for both success and justice
You ain't gettin' shit for free so you ain't gettin' shit from me
Valuing hard work and reciprocity
Grew up speakin' freely about freedom bein' the shit to me
Appreciation for freedom and speaking openly
Guy on top, live long enough to fall
Recognition of the vulnerability of those in power
Everybody drop around me but I'm still here through it all
Surviving challenges while others falter
History in the makin', if you want it then you go and take it
Opportunity creation and seizing
From the bottom to the top, first they love you then they hate you
Highlighting the fickleness of public opinion
They they judge you when they hang you, just because they can't hang
Criticizing judgment without understanding
The ones that send you praises throw dirt on your damn name
Addressing hypocrisy and betrayal
They ain't got the heart to live and that's a damn shame
Commenting on the lack of courage in critics
Waitin' on the day to throw dirt on your damn grave
Anticipating negativity even after death
All alone and I'ma die alone
Reiteration of the loneliness and expectation of dying alone
All that matters is what happens in between, yea
Emphasizing the significance of life's experiences
And all I know in a world so cold
Recognizing the harshness of the world's reality
Everything ain't always what it seems, oh no
Cautioning against trusting appearances
It's been a long road
Restating the long and challenging journey
Lord, it's been a long road
Reemphasizing the challenges faced
And I'm still feelin' like I'm so far from home
Feeling far from a place of comfort
Could ya help me just rest my bones
Pleading for rest and comfort
And could you help me not feel so alone
Expressing the desire for companionship and relief from loneliness
All alone and I'ma die alone
Repeating the theme of dying alone
All that matters is what happens in between, yea
Reiterating the importance of life's moments
And all I know in a world so cold
Acknowledging the harsh reality of the world
Everything ain't always what it seems, oh no
Warning against trusting appearances
All alone and I'ma die alone
Reiteration of the loneliness and expectation of dying alone
All that matters is what happens in between, yea
Emphasizing the significance of life's experiences
And all I know in a world so cold
Recognizing the harshness of the world's reality
Everything ain't always what it seems, oh no
Cautioning against trusting appearances
