Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Trapped, no shield, no sword

The unbeaten path got my soul so sore

Allured by the lust, something money can't cure

The devil want me as is, but God he want more

Eyes closed, eyes open, great another day, here we go

Like a **** woke up, late in the Truman Show

Living life without a care, mean poker face

But I'm forced to play solitaire 'till I get up out of here

Move like a wanted man with a bounty on his head

Work alone, sleep alone, eat alone, daily bread

Counting 'till my fingers red, how you gonna judge a man?

Walking in the shoes of a man with a broken leg

Flame on the trail headed for the powder keg

Last place in the race, I ain't never led

Like I ain't never bled, time to get up out of bed

Serving in the army of one, it's on again

[Verse 2]

Walk alone, I walk alone, you know I walk alone

I always been on my own, ever since the day I was born

So I don't mind walking alone

Walk alone, I walk alone, you know I walk alone

I always been on my own, ever since the day I was born

So I don't mind walking alone

[Verse 3]

I'm in a chess match, I'm in a death trap

I'm tryina find out where the eggs in the nest is

I want blood when the sky turns jet black

No love in the world can correct that

I'm in a slow lane, I'm on my Cobain

I'm in the new spot tryina' run a old game

I got a new chick, put out my old flame

No peace, no sleep, no love for a young beast

You can put me in a cage

You can put me in a jungle

Where the lion gets blazed

There ain't no hell like the hell I raise

I'd die in the bed I made 'fore I lay with a love I loathe

I'm a snake in the garden of bones

I'm a loner in a world of clones

I'm a the piece that don't belong

See, I roam where the Reaper roam

'Till they put my name on a stone

[Verse 4]

Walk alone, I walk alone, you know I walk alone

I always been on my own, ever since the day I was born

So I don't mind walking alone

Walk alone, I walk alone, you know I walk alone

I always been on my own, ever since the day I was born

So I don't mind walking alone

[Verse 5]

The longest walk I'll probably ever be on

The Road to Perdition, guess I'm finna get my plea on

I pray these wings strong enough to carry me on

I promise every second felt as if it took an eon

Walking like the lost boy of Sierra Leone

The Trail of Tears what they got me like a Cherokee on

Between the ears something I require therapy on

For working to the bone like my name Robert Dion

I go above and beyond the duty called truly, y'all

Even though they kind of blew me of like a booty call

Asked me if I'm just another muli or a movie star

Forced to face the music like a graduate of Juilliard

Walk alone, talk alone, get my Charlie Parker on

Make my mark alone, shed light upon the dark alone

Get my sparkle on, it's a mission I'm embarking on

A kamikaze in the danger zone, far from home

[Verse 6]

Walk alone, I walk alone, you know I walk alone

I always been on my own, ever since the day I was born

So I don't mind walking alone

Walk alone, I walk alone, you know I walk alone

I always been on my own, ever since the day I was born
