Alone Feat. Eric Westbrook

At this very moment, He's never felt so alone in his life
 The only thing he can say that he owns is a knife
 Oh, and a pipe- he's trapped in a prison
 Sadly, a victim of his own bad decisions
 He's finishing up a ten year bid
 For foul things that he did when he was still a kid
 The good news: he'll be out in less than a week
 The bad news: he'll be out in less than a week
 It's tough, because this news is known by the ruggedest crews
 They're doing life and ain't got nothing to lose
 And they're already plotting, in fact his man stopped him to chat
 and let him know he should be watching his back
 And though his external appearance is rougher than brillo
 On most nights, his cries are muffled by his pillow
 Because his eyes have seen unspeakable atrocities
 From suicide to sodomy but yo, peep the dichotomy
 He wants to get out, but in a way he doesn't
 Because he's not really sure if he can make the adjustment
 Plus he's young and black and can't escape from the fact
 That most of the stats say he'll be coming back
 He feels like he might as well rot- he's shell-shocked
 by hell's plot to keep him in jail, locked in a cell block
 The stress is weighing on his mind so heavy
 He cries out, "Jesus, if you're real, I'm ready"
 No one's around
 Silence the only sound
 The tears are streaming down
 Alone
 Numb from all the pain
 Words just can't explain
 The emptiness remains
 Alone
 At this very moment, she's never felt so alone in her life
 For most of her adulthood, she was known as his wife
 A happy mother of two, in love with her boo
 In her mind there wasn't a clue of what her husband would do
 They went from family trips on fun excursions
 To him spending late nights in the summers working
 To her turning to alcohol just to numb the hurting
 To him trading her in for a younger version
 Unwanted, she's confronted by the thing she dreads
 She cries herself to sleep at night in an empty bed
 This disappearing act would shock Terry McMillan
 They were married with children- she can't bury her feelings
 Her shock turned to confusion, confusion to aggression
 Aggression to bitterness, bitterness to depression
 But she's not allowed to grieve, she got mouths to feed
 Plus they need healthcare, might have to go on welfare
 For now, she's trying to make ends meet on minimum wage
 Her 15 year old son is at a critical age
 A pivotal stage, he needs a male role model
 About to drop out, street life full throttle
 His mom knows that without proper education
 Dead or in jail is his probable destination
 The pain is weighing in on her heart so heavy
 She cries out, "Jesus, if you're real, I'm ready
 No one's around
 Silence the only sound
 The tears are streaming down
 Alone
 Numb from all the pain
 Words just can't explain
 The emptiness remains
 Alone
 At this very moment, He's never felt so alone I His life
 Severely afflicted- He groans from the strife
 His appearing to visit- for years was predicted
 But clearly they missed it- they don't know His type
 He came from above- the divine intertwined with mankind
 He entered slime- amazing His love
 For this evil nation who shows Him no appreciation
 His life is being cut short like an abbreviation
 The same cats who last week hailed Him as the man
 They rail and demand for them to nail Him through His hands
 They failed to understand the scale of what was planned
 The torn veil will explain His trail left in the sand
 For now, He considers the cat who snitched on Him
 And even His right hand man who switched on Him
 The rest of His friends bounced too and left Him hanging
 Literally, pitifully, flesh dangling
 But the most mysterious aspect of the saga
 Three hours spent under the wrath of His Father
 His Dad is who commanded it- His attributes demanded it
 The Lamb was doomed to handle this- absolute abandonment
 The craziest thing the universe has ever known
 For the first time in eternity, God was alone
 But I guess the part of it that makes it so heavy
 He did it for those who cry out, "Jesus, I'm ready!"
