“No Fun Alone” by Mali Music
Music Video from Mali Music

Stages and flashing lights,
Music and cameras
They call it the good life
But at the end of the day,
A man’s all I am
Just like you I got needs
Oh, and I get frustrated
I get hurt just the same
But because I got a name
Happiness mistaken for fame

It gets cold at the top
Make sure somebody loves ya
You can feel alone in the spotlight
Make sure somebody cares for ya
Always be there for ya
It’s no fun alone

Big toys and private plane
It’s like the world’s in your hand
But while on the road,
Sometimes you just wanna go home
To tuck your son in bed
I get weak like you do
And my body can get tired too yeah, yeah
And although I’m living the dream
I’m a man not a machine
And I need you to know

It gets cold at the top
Make sure somebody loves ya
You can feel alone in the spotlight
Make sure somebody cares for ya
Always be there for ya

It gets cold at the top
Make sure somebody loves ya
You can feel alone in the spotlight
Make sure somebody cares for ya
Always be there for ya
It’s no fun alone

People often try to make it seem
That their success is individual
But what’s the point in even having dreams
If you got to celebrate, all alone
It gets coooold…

It gets cold at the top
Make sure somebody loves ya
You can feel alone in the spotlight
Make sure somebody cares for ya
Always be there for ya

It gets cold at the top
Make sure somebody loves ya
You can feel alone in the spotlight
Make sure somebody cares for ya
Always be there for ya
It’s no fun alone

Reminded by this song that
life is more fun in community
because as I care for others I
get a better perspective…
not advocating for no personal
time but just to remember
that working with and caring for
others always helps me be grateful.
