Well, ya dun know it's ya boy I-Y-A-Z
Alongside the man J-R'a
Yah-ga-oh, Beluga Heights
I said I don't want to walk this earth
If I gotta do it solo, JJJJR
See gyal, we used to be a team
Running the streets, yeah
We was living out our dream, oh
You used to be my rider
I was your provider
Now we separated in two, oh
Baby, you left and sailed away alone (yeah, alone)
And now you got me trapped up on this island
With nowhere to get home
And I don't wanna go, go
I don't wanna go, go
I don't wanna it, down low
I don't wanna it, down low
I don't want to walk this earth
If I gotta do it solo (solo) solo
'Cause I was so high
And now I'm so low
And I don't wanna walk around alone, solo
I said, I don't want to walk this earth
If I gotta do it solo (solo)
Solo
You was the beat on to my top line
Put us together
And you'd have to hit the rewind
See, you gave me a purpose
Now I'm getting nervous
That my heart will never sing again, oh
When we was running up the airways
They knew us from the Virgin Islands to the U.K.
See, we was on the way to the platinum and gold
Never thought you'd go, but you did, yeah
Yeah, You did, oh
And baby you left and sailed away alone (yeah, alone)
And now you got me trapped up on this island
With nowhere to get home
And I don't wanna go, go
I don't wanna go, go
I don't wanna it, down low
I don't wanna it, down low
I don't want to walk this earth
If I gotta do it solo (solo)
'Cause I was so high (I was so high)
And now I'm so low
And I don't wanna walk around alone, solo
I said, I don't want to walk this earth
If I gotta do it solo (solo)
Solo
I don't wanna walk S-O-L-O
SI don't wanna walk S-O-L-O
Oh, no (oh, no)
I don't wanna walk S-O-L-O
And I don't wanna go, go
I don't wanna go, go
I don't wanna it, down low
I don't wanna it, down low
I don't want to walk this earth
If I gotta do it solo (solo)
'Cause I was so high
And now I'm so low
And I don't wanna walk around alone, solo
I said I don't want to walk this earth
If I gotta do it solo (solo)
Solo
