One Day

[Verse 1] I used to build sand castles Put a moat and a bridge Imagined dragons fightin' knights There was a throne And I was king I was the ruler of it all Kneel and bow before me You motherfuckers think you're scary But you clowns ain't Voorhees The shit I seen, would ring through your eyelids Close your eyes and visualize The dark swallows you, crying And you fightin', but the light just don't seem bright And the point just up and lost it's hype You don't care, but that's a lie Stop Take a step back Take it all in Look how far we've came With this ball pen This is all I ever wanted A voice and a place to blast it I know you wanted me gone But I'ma keep on comin' back in For back when I didn't have shit Cause these days I have this And this is all I need to get up off my ass and Make the whole world hear me 'fore I end up in that casket Go ahead, blast this I hear these rappers say fuck the fame, lets get that dough Got millions already, why not a couple more See I don't care about that green All I wanted was a team with me On the cover of a magazine And them screams hit me from the crowd And dreams are made, my momma proud My Pop's seein' me not as fuckin' useless now And I get that smile That smile I ain't seen since I was by the window And I told my God I live for me And me gon be that man in everyones ears And me gon be that man, that man, they all fuckin hear Year after year, I stay devoted to this I'ma be that man On this star I make a wish [Bridge] One day I'ma be that man One day I'ma be that man I said, I said One day I'ma be that man One day, I'ma be that man [Chorus] And you gon hear me on the TV, radio On the stage of packed stadiums When you with your friends, just pop my disc in your stereo That's all I want That's all I need to survive When they all hear me I won't need no disguise [Bridge] One day I'ma be that man One day I'ma be that man I said, I said One day I'ma be that man One day, I'ma be that man [Chorus] And you gon hear me on the TV, radio On the stage of packed stadiums When you with your friends, just pop my disc in your stereo That's all I want That's all I need to survive When I become that man I won't need no disguise [Verse 2] When that first youtube video dropped Through them halls, with head high, I walked And I waited, for the comments For the oh you white shit, nonsense For the don't try to be black And I'm so whack, but they don't get that I ain't on that I live my life how I live it Put it up on this paper And recite it in my sessions I display my days, glass house for the world to see I want to see if they can maybe see a pearl in me Not worthless, yeah I'm a diamond right But I feel my shine only happens when the spot light is shinin' bright I need this, it helps my soul Without that heat that I spit, I'm left out there in the cold Breathe easy, in and out I know you feelin' queasy, its hard trynna figure it out I'm only seventeen Why am I so stressed out Why am I so fuckin' obssesed with bein' the best out As long as I give this my best then that's enough If you support me, I thank you You're the reason I can stand up With shoulders back, and middle finger higher than my head Write obituaries for beats, I always leave em dead It's this talent that I have And I'll use it all I can Cause this mic stuff is all I really am Without this I am nothin', but that's not somethin' you could understand Little kid on his knees, curled hands sayin' [Bridge] One day I'ma be that man One day I'ma be that man I said, I said One day I'ma be that man One day, I'ma be that man [Chorus] And you gon hear me on the TV, radio On the stage of packed stadiums When you with your friends, just pop my disc in your stereo That's all I want That's all I need to survive When they all hear me I won't need no disguise [Bridge] One day I'ma be that man One day I'ma be that man I said, I said One day I'ma be that man One day, I'ma be that man [Chorus] And you gon hear me on the TV, radio On the stage of packed stadiums When you with your friends, just pop my disc in your stereo That's all I want That's all I need to survive When I become that man I won't need no disguise [Verse 3] I used to build sand castles, remember Now I build empires, you can't enter S.M.A.R.T, don't fuck with it Unless you fuck with us Grinded and came up with us Boy I'm on my A1 But I tell you, I can't do this without my day ones They was there when the praise started and you can bet They gon be there when the praise done Heart on the sleeve, so when these fucks take shots at me They always aim wrong I'm different There was something in me hidden I took it out and made this shit Chronicles of a misfit Don't need that cronick to make my name go down in history Who that man, it's me Yeah That little kid ain't lost anymore Watch me from the ground up I won't be tossed to the floor Get that penthouse And get a big ass window So I could look out and see All that I did it for
