Review

October, 07th 2016

This is folk R&B by Lecrae and Leon Bridges, where they say they’ve tired of being not people but soulless creatures who are forced to work hard in every hard place. Only God knows how will the entire business work out, but they are sure that by fighting for their rights now, they change the nation tomorrow. They are forced to play even harder than they were pushed and all they want is to struggle against the chains, ceasing living in the slavery. They are ready to go through hell.

On My Own Song Lyrics

[Hook: Leon Bridges]

I've come a long way

From a very hard place

It's been a hard race

But somehow I found my way home

I've walked a long road

To where only God knows

But when the trumpet blows you know

I did it all on my own

[Post-Hook]

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Ohhhhhh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Ohhhhhh

[Verse 1: Lecrae]

I've been pushing hard

I've been praying harder

Only Heaven can help me

They took my earthly father

Martyred and promised me death then walked me into my grave

I'd rather die a free man then live on Earth a slave

I'm fighting for people they put in chains

They stripped our heritage, they took our names

Put our women to shame

Whipped us and beat us, mislead us but they can't take our passion

Take my body but my soul won't fit inside your casket

[Bridge: Leon Bridges]

Forget what I said, forget what I did

I did what I had to do and I'd do it all again

And if you're going through hell

Keep it going, my baby promise that Heaven is near

[Hook: Leon Bridges]

I've come a long way

From a very hard place

It's been a hard race

But somehow I found my way home

I've walked a long road

To where only God knows

But when the trumpet blows you know

I did it all on my own

[Post-Hook]

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Ohhhhhh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Ohhhhhh

[Verse 2: Lecrae]

Taken from Africa

Treated like animals

Culturally denigrated

Broke up our families

Prison of false religion, the same God you lied on

The same God I rely on, I'ma strive on

Alone just a small tribe

Fought for truth for y'all, died

Martyrs live forever so

Out the depths we all rise

Die for a freedom that I'll never see

I pray y'all live it to the fullest for my legacy

Let's go

[Bridge: Leon Bridges]

Forget what I said, forget what I did

I did what I had to do and I'd do it all again

And if you're going through hell

Keep it going, my baby promise that Heaven is near

[Hook: Leon Bridges]

I've come a long way

From a very hard place

It's been a hard race

But somehow I found my way home

I've walked a long road

To where only God knows

But when the trumpet blows you know

I did it all on my own

[Outro]

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Ohhhhhh

I did it all on my own

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Ohhhhhh

I did it all on my own
