Yg Alone

Less than a month after dropping the visual for “Toxic” starring Brittany Renner, YG is back with another video from his upcoming album, I Got Issues. In “Alone,” the Compton rapper gets vulnerable about the consequences of living life for the streets. In the video, YG dons his signature red bandana, black shades with a red cup in tow and as he gets introspective in the booth. Behind him in the solemn studio sat a lone grand piano and a team of security guards rocking ski masks.

YG opens the Bandz-produced track, requesting, “Somebody pray for me. ‘Cause the streets play for keeps. In love with this life but it’s hatin’ me.” “Alone” is the third single from the rapper’s forthcoming third studio album. It follows his previously released singles, including “Scared Money” featuring J. Cole & Moneybagg Yo and “Run” with Tyga, BIA and 21 Savage.

Lyrics

[Chorus: RISSA & YG]
Made up my mind, I’m leaving this time
Without you
Gotta leave the streets alone, tryna leave the streets alone
All of those times, I’ll leave them behind
Without you
Gotta leave the streets alone, tryna leave the streets alone
And now I feel the breeze in my hair

[Verse 1: YG]
Somebody pray for me
‘Cause the streets play for keeps
In love with this life but it’s hatin’ me
Blicky tucked, can’t no nigga play with me
You would’ve thought the money would be changin’ me
Stuck in between keep thuggin’ and let it go
If I let it go, shit, that’s probably how I’ma go
If I keep thuggin’, that’s more time with the bros
But thug for too long and that’s jail time and funerals
You know the streets love nobody
But I can’t stay in the house, I’m not no homebody
And when the beef is on, who gon’ go about me?
I know my 4Hunnids for sure got me
Thuggin’ with a heart, I be slidin’ to Drake
Livin’ life, lookin’ over my shoulder, gotta hide my face
How many more contributions I gotta make?
How many more bullet wounds I gotta take?

[Chorus: RISSA & YG]
Made up my mind, I’m leaving this time
Without you
Gotta leave the streets alone, tryna leave the streets alone
All of those times, I’ll leave them behind
Without you
Gotta leave the streets alone, tryna leave the streets alone
And now I feel the breeze in my hair

[Verse 2: YG]
I got too many dead homies
Too many locked up in the fed homies
Too many pill head, med homies
Pull the trigger before they fight like a man homies, damn
Goddamn, homie, family horrified ’cause I glorify the streets
Million dollar nigga, why I’m orchestratin’ a beef?
Niggas turn to rats, phone tapped, it’s deep
Lifestyle chaotic, I ain’t never knowin’ peace
I’m tryna figure out at which point this shit is old?
I’m tryna tell myself, I made this far, a nigga gold
The opps can’t take my life, they wanna see it fold
I’m tryna see my kids live their whole life, see ’em old
Don’t let my past life affect future goals
The street life be fuckin’ up my household
I gotta put my babymom before my bros
Plan B’s ’cause I’m nuttin’ in all my hoes

[Chorus: RISSA & YG]
Made up my mind, I’m leaving this time
Without you
Gotta leave the streets alone, tryna leave the streets alone
All of those times, I’ll leave them behind
Without you
Gotta leave the streets alone, tryna leave the streets alone
And now I feel the breeze in my hair
The wind in my sail
Got no reasons to care
‘Cause I’m without you
Gotta leave the streets alone, tryna leave the streets alone
