One Day

Bridge: And I heard'em say, and I heard'em say, and I heard'em say (Get right, live life, no living it twice) - 2x Verse One: Cause I'ma be doing this for the lifelong But from the midsummer morning to the night's calm I be, and when I bleed to entice thought Bulb overhead, lit but keep the dim light flawed I wonder what the bridge might cross The shallow and deep waters, the past to the current, the street corner sermon To live by: Want the rich life, but my leash is shorter But fit the description like niggas wrote the police report up And you witnessing it, the gutter, the Heartland That I'm from, and I could become, or what I became And I wonder as time replays at the front of my mind But reluctant to find the ways to do right What was left of me to give when the pressure was on? But gotta eat when that's the recipe to live I feel it when I'm smoking the stress and toke til excess In my chest, breathe it in Want the real? Well, it collectively depends What they say and what evidently is No legend will be missed It's hard to see the man beyond what's definitely myth And most niggas see it as what they destined to relive Even I wonder who retinae my reflection will be in If niggas don't feel it, my success will be revenge Never wrap your past in your present and re-gift to niggas They said a "conscious rapper," Then what's the flipside? Probably greet you less with envy when you don't blow Hook - 2x Cause One Day You know it could be your last And today is the first of the rest of your life (And I heard'em say) Said today is the first day of the rest of your life It's another day in the life (Get right, live life, no living it twice) Verse Two: Listen, can't knock me outta my element when the storm coming The shit is as real as I walk it: It's level-headed, but towards something And even if I'm on television the course of it Or if a nigga's live-and-direct and you never hit the record button So let me do mine But niggas wanna take even that from you And try to complicate what you do What I contemplate, if you knew It'll complicate what you used to seeing with Priest Ain't no constipation, I move My shit as though it's timeless True, defined with it every line spit'll make your spine twist So keep your eyes fixed And I ain't on the scene, I'm behind it You mindless niggas recycle rhymes you ruining minds with "but there he go again," Let me talk my shit to enlighten you with When it's the realest I could ever be Until I rest in peace, give me the peace to rest And beats to release the stress I want a new day to come... Hook - 2x
