One Day

[Hook] I know one day, I won't have to wait in line I know one day, I'mma get those keys to that new ride I know one day I'll be fine And I know one day I'll get mine And I know one day... Hell, it might be Monday [Verse 1] I remember thinking "Man, I need a decent ride Then I won't have to ask my momma for the keys to drive" With my brother riding in an old Cutlass Black and Mild lit, whole roof busted Well who knows maybe one day we'll have a little more We'll finally shop somewhere else besides the corner store My little sister say she gotta have a pair of Dior's But right now they'll probably stop us before we hit the door My Uncle says: "that's how it is where we come from" And if it weren't for bad luck, we wouldn't have none Hard to tell the good days from the bad ones If I could catch a shooting star then I would grab one I'd grab one for real [Hook] [Verse 2] I remember feeling trapped and no, I couldn't get out And when they laid my momma off, no it just didn't amount I still remember how she looked when she walked into the house But still, she tried her best to show us what was Christmas about And if we wanted hot water, we had to microwave it And everyday the power'd cut off, but we'd tolerate it The thoughts of all the beats I lost because I forgot to save 'em I'm screaming at me in the mirror like: "I gotta make it!" My teacher's trying to get through to me because of my behaviour I said: "I've got big dreams, and I've gotta chase 'em" I never cared a damn thing about a college major I only had one need, that was a lot of paper But see, I never had a thing but a lot of prayers After school, open mic night, rockin' stages It all started from a demo, to a limo From a limo, to a Lambo And all of this came up out of Decatur Because one day... [Hook] [Bridge] I used to dream about these days, and the things that I'd do I had to get a new life, because the old just won't do I used to dream in shades of grey, now the sky's shining blue And everyday it feels like, there's no way I can lose [Hook 2] Because, I knew one day, I wouldn't have to wait in line I knew one day, I would get those keys to that new ride I knew one day I'd be fine And I knew one day I'd get mine And I knew one day, and not just Monday
