...

I'm rollin' by my lonely, I got it all alone

I don't need nobody help, they just in the way

I just got on the plane, I got killers for my pain just so I can fall asleep when I'm on the way

I been on the road, almost drove myself insane, I just keep goin', keep goin'

Fuck the plaques and all the chains

Fuck the money and the fame, I'ma keep goin', keep goin'

I'm on it, no matter what I gotta do, I'm on it (money)

'Cause I still got somethin' to prove, I'm on it

Only thing that change my mood, I'm on it

I got no choice, I give it all of me

Don't let 'em bother me, I see 'em callin' me

Somehow these problems always fall on me

I get geeked up 'til I can't fall asleep

I'm rollin' by my lonely, I got it all alone

I don't need nobody help, they just in the way

I just got on the plane, I got killers for my pain just so I can fall asleep when I'm on the way

I been on the road, almost drove myself insane, I just keep goin', keep goin'

Fuck the plaques and all the chains

Fuck the money and the fame, I'ma keep goin', keep goin'

I'm on it, no matter what I gotta do, I'm on it

'Cause I still got somethin' to prove, I'm on it

Only thing that change my mood, I'm on it
