Slick Rick - All Alone (No One To Be With)(1994)

[00:00.84] All alone, no one to be with you
[00:02.64] All alone, no one to be with you
[00:09.89] All alone, no one to be with you
[00:15.29] All alone, no one to be with you
[00:19.85] No one to be with you
[00:20.74] As a youth, each Sunday, Dawn went to church
[00:23.41] Paid her respects and not to mention was a virgin
[00:26.13] Kid pushed up, Dawn lettin'
[00:28.86] Since he made her laugh and all the other girls was sweatin'
[00:30.65] Then things started to move without cause
[00:33.45] And a couple o'months later kid's pushin' for the drawers
[00:36.10] Under pressure while exchangin' glances
[00:38.86] Dawn finally gives in to the sexual advances
[00:41.50] Although it was a mad high cost for her
[00:44.39] 'Cuz after the thrill was gone, so was the lust for her
[00:47.06] Eventually he left her for another
[00:49.78] Now feeling alone and betrayed by her lover
[00:52.47] She cried for no longer knew which way she headed
[00:55.12] Once dreamed of actually wearing white at her wedding
[00:56.92] And really being pure, now she thought she'd die without
[01:00.67] Still she finds strength to continue with her life without
[01:02.46] Love
[01:04.34] (All alone, no one to be with)
[01:05.27] Without love
[01:06.11] (All alone, no one to be with)
[01:07.96] Without love
[01:08.88] (All alone, no one to be with)
[01:10.66] Without love
[01:11.55] (All alone, no one to be with)
[01:13.34] Verse two of Dawn's life, the second segment
[01:16.04] What could be worse than to now find out you're pregnant?
[01:18.70] Poor Dawn couldn't sleep, laid awake
[01:20.59] Not ready for a child and plus her mother's gonna break
[01:23.34] As she doesn't know how she's gonna bring up the subject
[01:26.09] Consequences of being used as an object
[01:28.73] In church though time's runnin' thin
[01:31.58] She decides to have the child because the doesn't want to sin
[01:34.21] Props to the girl although it hit hard times
[01:36.96] It was hell finishin' school and working part-time
[01:39.65] Yet Dawn did it though her youth went to waste
[01:42.36] Little help from the government, she got her own place
[01:45.02] Hard for an independent woman and a kid
[01:47.75] And as soon as she could get off the assistance, she did
[01:49.53] Without no man who she once thought she'd die without
[01:53.22] Still she finds the strength to continue with her life without
[01:55.04] Love
[01:56.00] (All alone, no one to be with)
[01:57.90] Life without love
[01:58.81] (All alone, no one to be with)
[02:00.62] (All alone, no one to be with)
[02:03.33] Life without love
[02:04.29] (All alone, no one to be with)
[02:06.08] Continue with her life without love
[02:06.97] (All alone, no one to be with)
[02:07.85] Hard for an independent
[02:08.70] (All alone, no one to be with)

[02:11.44] (All alone, no one to be with)
[02:12.36] Hard for an independent
[02:14.20] (All alone, no one to be with)
[02:16.88] While Dawn worked two jobs tryin' to meet ends
[02:24.00] Her son was busy cuttin' school and hangin' with his friends
[02:26.79] So when she got words she tried to slap out the taste in his mouth
[02:30.46] And explain how important education is
[02:32.24] Under stress, she takes two bufferin'
[02:34.99] Son now tired of seein' his poor mother sufferin'
[02:37.69] Starts to sell drugs though the cops did a raid
[02:40.33] Guess who's in the mix, and being legal age
[02:43.00] Could do time, please call her employer
[02:45.76] To inform her that her son is gonna' need a lawyer
[02:47.59] Never no good news, just more strife
[02:50.37] Dawn barely havin' enough time to live her own life
[02:53.09] Here's the judge's sentence, beggin' and pleadin'
[02:55.84] Now spends nine hours on the bus to go and see him
[02:58.50] Here's the judge's sentence, beggin' and pleadin'
[03:01.21] Now spends nine hours on the bus to go and see him
[03:03.99] Without no man who she once thought she'd die without
[03:06.61] Still she finds the strength to continue with her life without
