Own Two

No matter how hard I give, huh
Never lean on another (never lean)
No man is an island
I never leaned on another man
I learned to live on my own two (thuh)
I never leaned on another man
I learned to live on my own two, my own two
(Yeah, okay)
Livin' on my own two ain’t easy, baby
You drive me crazy, I need you baby
Shit been kind of wild, so it’s hard to say
That livin' on my own two ain’t easy, baby
And when the words don’t come out right (whn the words don’t come out right)
And when th feelings don’t come out right (and when the feelings don’t)
I’d rather deal with it on my own (I'd rather deal)
Than depend on you all my life (yeah)
I never leaned on another man
I learned to live on my own two (thuh)
I never leaned on another man
I learned to live on my own two, my own two
Livin' on my own two, no it ain’t no question
We see them black and whites, we ain’t answering questions
Gotta stack a dollar, then we gotta stretch it
Eat what you kill, before you eat you gotta bless it
If it’s less than a half a moon then it’s a crescent
If it’s less than a half a pound, now That’s a session
I ain’t talkin air maxes when we checkin'
You fall then you crash, that’s recession, nigga, check it, nigga
Nothin in this world really worth bein' upset about
A boy to a man and understand you gotta figure out
Do he take the viscous route, do he take a different route
No matter what the way, they gon' try to take a nigga out
I never leaned on another man
I learned to live on my own two (thuh)
I never leaned on another man
I learned to live on my own two, my own two
They see grays, they anticipating retirement
Silverback, look these follicles mean dominance
Nowadays handouts considered a sin
Helping hands was a blessing, when you fall in a ditch
World changing, people switch, that’s lessons to be learned
Life’s a gamble, understand that tables really do turn
On the dice, Imma keep on shootin' until I hit
If X marks the spot, I’m dmx’n through this bitch
I never leaned on another man
I learned to live on my own two (thuh)
I never leaned on another man
I learned to live on my own two (I learned to live on my own two)
