[Intro]
Ay, can't nobody be superman or superwoman all the time, man, you need some help

[Verse 1]
Life is hard enough with a team
So tryna handle problems by yourself’s a different thing
It seems like things pop off at the strangest times
You thought about calling for help but then you changed your mind
Friends and family let you know it’s always room to ride
No one to reach out ‘cause your logic got consumed with pride
Told your homie you was good, he looked and said, “You sure?”
You hit your mama with that same lie, see even mama know
You used to be the one who helped others when they was down
Now you ashamed to let them know yo plane done switched around
You feel like if you tell ‘em your weakness might be exposed
You on the verge of losing hope and no one even knows
There’s nothing wrong with being lifted up by your fam
Sometimes Robin helped Batman get up out a jam
Quit actin’ rough like you don’t need no one to back you up
Because a time gon’ come when real life gon’ jack you up
So listen bro

[Chorus]
You can’t make it in this world alone
Alone, lone, lone, lone
We all need somebody we can depend on
No matter how you think you in control
Contro-o-o-ol
It’s always something we can’t handle or we fail to know
[Verse 2]
See, for the record
With your thoughts it’s cool to be overprotective
But different opinions tend to provide different perspectives
You ain’t gotta tell the whole planet your business, be selective
Only council with wise ones who advise positive methods, see
When you fall the road back can be a long one
Yeah I know it, you supposed to be the strong one
And through the loss and through the drama whatever
You the one who usually holding the family together, yeah
So now you seein’ yo safety net fall through
When folks needed a place to stay and some money, they called you
Now you need somebody to confide in and talk to
But it’s hard to do ‘cause you used to it being all you
I know you got a friend on who you can directly depend
Stop blockin’ ‘em out fam, you got to let people in
You bein’ the one to guide others through issues in they life
So since it’s your turn, it’s time for you to take your own advice

[Chorus]
You can’t make it in this world alone
Alone, lone, lone, lone
We all need somebody we can depend on
No matter how you think you in control
Contro-o-o-ol
It’s always something we can’t handle or we fail to know
[Verse 3]
Man, you pushin’ hard to get your stuff fixed
You tryna build a house, but you ain’t got enough bricks
It’s never no time, not enough hours in the day
And now that you overloaded, your energy is MIA
See one deep all the time should never be the plan
Understand even a solo singer need a band
See you can interact and still be a leader, man
But let somebody help you carry that load and free your hand
Lonely living is a hard pill to swallow, dude
And every now and then we all need some solitude
But don’t let it be the good folks you try to get rid of
Real patnas offer you insight you might not’ve considered
That’s a scenario some people ain’t comfortable with
Might be missing blessings and gifts that God wants you to get
You need a lifeboat when things start sinking
See you standing on the brink ‘cause regardless of what you thinking

[Chorus]
You can’t make it in this world alone
Alone, lone, lone, lone
We all need somebody we can depend on
No matter how you think you in control
Contro-o-o-ol
It’s always something we can’t handle or we fail to know
