One Day Lyrics

It′s easy to look at my life and don't see no pain
I remember taking three, four trains to re-cocaine
Standing in the lobby during sleet, snow, rain
Waiting for fiends with a pint of beef lo mein

Breaking day on the grind, I used to be so drained
But ain′t a Saturday I wasn't up to see Soul Train
Sometimes I ain't see no gain
′Cause I was running around fees every time my tree show stains
I was lucky I ain′t see four men

Get shot or stuck up standing at them Cee-Lo games
But now shit with these ski hoes changed
I ain't know why the fuck they used to look at me so strange
Glanced at my neck and didn′t see no chain
Be saying, "That's nasty," wouldn′t give me no brain

Y'all surprised that the B.O. sane
In my road of life I done jumped in and out of three, four lanes
I′m still here

My mama used to tell me, "Son, you're gonna make it
One day it'll happen"
Who knew I had what it takes to be famous
And one day I′d be rapping though?
My papa used to ask me, "Son, are you prepared?
′Cause one day it could happen"
I dreamed about this game but who would've believed
That one day I′d be trapped in though?

I just want some peace of mind
Niggas'll risk having cuffs on they wrists
For this masterpiece on mine
Know that I′ma squeeze to the top of my piece recline
I can't see myself in back of a Caprice confined
But on a small island too far for police to find
With girls who look weaker than Guyanese combined
I gotta make sure my niece is fine
She get every doll for Christmas, new Jordans at Easter time
Some be like, "At least you signed"

But that just make it easy to get pointed out in precinct lines
So all y′all can see is every piece be dime
And I be getting Nikes before they even get released sometime
Youngsters, don't let these videos geesh your mind
It ain't cool to end up deceased for shine
And if you can′t get the whole pie, just take a piece and grind
Hold your head, your stress′ll cease in time
Feel me?

My mama used to tell me, "Son, you're gonna make it
One day it′ll happen"
Who knew I had what it takes to be famous
And one day I'd be rapping though?
My papa used to ask me, "Son, are you prepared?
′Cause one day it could happen"
I dreamed about this game but who would've believed
That one day I′d be trapped in though?

Sometimes I wish I could go way back when

I could walk through and ain't nobody know J. Jackson
Everything was okay back then
Now everybody playing a cool role and I know they acting
I gotta go back through my old way packing
These wolves know my jewels is filled with O'Shea Jacksons
I don′t care as long as my dough stay stacking
But these niggas with me be eager to show they MAC-10s
And I′m the one the poles stay tracking
Plus I got all these ducks around the old way quacking
These hoes make crack grins

But I swear to God I won't never take O.J.′s actions
I would've let this flow stay packed in
I′d probably be with Nick and Rome spending my whole day Shaq'd in
For now I just roll on those eight Jacksons
′Til Kool and Daryl bring those great plaques in

Yeah, my mama used to tell me, "Son, you're gonna make it
One day it'll happen"
Who knew I had what it takes to be famous
And one day I′d be rapping though?
My papa used to ask me, "Son, are you prepared?
′Cause one day it could happen"
I dreamed about this game but who would've believed
That one day I′d be trapped in though?

One day it'll happen
And one day I′ll be rapping though
One day it could happen
One day I'll be trapped in though
