One

[Hook] Just give me one, that's fine You'll see what I become, tell 'em one last time (Give me one) I put blood, sweat, tears and focus I put time in these years unnoticed All I need is just one and I'll be okay Look at where I'm coming from, but I'll find my own way Just give me somewhere to begin and the rest will come I know that all I ever needed was one [Verse 1] Just give me one more song to tell the world that I'm ready make my entrance Make amends to serve these days in a sentence of labored penance For the wasted days I've spent placed on vacant bench On the road to fate and redemption but couldn't fake independence I paid a debt of attention with two cents and the change that I mentioned But never made expenses I left unpaid I was settling, used, confused nerves and adrenaline purpose and meddling But the difference surfaced while peddling Up a hill that I rather be coasting down While the rest of them go around it I found that it's sweeter knowing these grounds That I'm holding, I've trekked alone that I've earned it That I deserve what I have that I never road someone's back when my soul was hurting It's that that molds the person I've become The reason that I could never hold these verses on my tongue If you're waiting for the day I say my work in this is done You can hold your breath until it's bursting out your lungs [Hook] [Verse 2] Just give me one more verse, 16 bars to explain the story From pain to the glory days in the name of who came before me Carry on the tradition, live for the sake of poorly Executed visions, pleading my case til I face the jury And if at the end the judge is screaming guilty I'll still be fine, I'll do the time for it knowing the people feel me No appeal and no excuses..innocence is subjective and allusive Know my place please don't correct me if I lose it Cause it's never set it stone.. 'Til the metronome stops When that last letters written and my beds a chrome box (no) it's not over til the record goes quiet When the stethoscope is silent on my chest so don't watch If you need the resolution I'm forever refusing To cross any finish line til I find a better conclusion But know second I do…set another goal to reach Cause contentment'll only stunt the growth I seek [Hook] [Verse 3] Just give me one more word before my lips are wired shut If you could put a price on time you still could never buy enough So I'll settle for a syllable and hope that echo stings If I was given one word I'd say peace and let it ring
