I Walk Alone on Purpose

I ain’t lonely. I’m selective.

I don’t miss the noise, don’t miss the crowd Don’t miss fake smiles talkin’ loud I learned peace don’t come from friends It comes when the bullshit ends

I been surrounded, still felt alone Heard too many lies in a friendly tone So I stepped back, shut the door Found out what silence is for

Solitude ain’t empty It’s clean

I walk alone on purpose I sleep better this way No knives hid behind handshakes No debts I gotta pay

I walk alone on purpose No drama, no disguise I trust my shadow more than words I see in people’s eyes

They say “man, you changed” Yeah, I fuckin’ did I stopped explaining myself To people who never listened

I don’t hate nobody here I just don’t invite ’em in There’s a difference you don’t learn Till you’re tired of bleed-in’

Peace costs distance

I walk alone on purpose No backup, no excuse I lost faith in group opinions Kept faith in what I choose

I walk alone on purpose I don’t fear the quiet now It’s better than the sound of lies I used to live around

I don’t need a crowd To feel tall I don’t need approval At all

I got my code I got my line Cross it once You’re out my life

I walk alone on purpose Not bitter, not ashamed I just got done carryin’ Other people’s weight

I walk alone on purpose This ain’t loss, it’s control I didn’t lose the world — I got back my soul

Yeah. This is quiet.
