One Day

It's easy to look at my life and don't see no pain I remember takin' 3, 4 trains to re cocaine Standing in the lobby during sleet, snow, rain Waiting for fiends with a pint of beef lomain 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 'Cuz I was runnin' to Ralphies everytime my trees showed stains I was lucky I ain't seized or maim Get shot or stuck up standin' at them C-Lo games But now shit with these skios 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 Ya'll surprised F A B O's sane In my rolla life, I done jumped in and out of 3, 4 lanes I'm still here My momma used to tell me "Son, you're gonna make it one day, it'll happen" Who knew I'd have what it takes To be famous and one day I'd be rappin', no My papa used to ask me, "Son, are you prepared? 'Cuz one day it could happen" I dreamed about this game But who would of believed that one day I'd be trapped in, no I just want some peace of mind Nigga's will risk havin' cuffs on their wrists for this masterpiece on mine Know that I'm a squeeze until 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 'Rican and 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 is easy to get pointed out at precinct lines All ya'll can see if every piece be dime And I be gettin' Nikes before they even get released sometime Youngsters, don't let these videos geese your mind It ain't cool to end up deceased for shine And if you can't get the whole pot, just take a piece and grind Hold your head, your stress will cease in time Feel me My momma used to tell me "Son, you're gonna make it one day, it'll happen" Who knew I'd have what it takes To be famous and one day I'd be rappin', no My papa used to ask me, "Son, are you prepared? 'Cuz one day it could happen" I dreamed about this game But who would of believed that one day I'd be trapped in, no Sometimes I wish I could go way back when I could walk through and ain't nobody know Jay Jackson Everything was okay back then Now everybody playin' a cool role and I know they actin' I gotta go back through my ol' way packin' These wolves know my jewels is filled with O shade Jacksons I don't care as long as my dough stay stackin' But these niggas with me be eager to show they Mack 10s And I'm the one the PO's stay trackin' Plus I got all these ducks around the ol' way quackin' These hoes may 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 shacked in For now I just roll on those eight Jacksons till Clue and Duro brings Those gray plaques in Yeah My momma used to tell me "Son, you're gonna make it one day, it'll happen" Who knew I'd have what it takes To be famous and one day I'd be rappin', no My papa used to ask me, "Son, are you prepared? 'Cuz one day it could happen" I dreamed about this game But who would of believed that one day I'd be trapped in, no One day it'll happen That one day I'd be rappin', no One day it could happen One day I'd be trapped in, no
