One time for the days you never had hope One time for the days you spent flat broke

One time cause we only got one time One life we tryna fill it up with sunshine

One time for the days you never had hope One time for the days you spent flat broke

One time cause we only got one time One life we tryna fill it up with sunshine

I came a long ways just to get where I'm at With a lot of long days dedicated to that

I lost a lot of pay but I'm making it back And I am not afraid to say that I'll make it from rapping

A long time coming, long nights spent Running these beats through the speakers

Trying to come up with something Something that the people can relate to what I say

Cause a lot of us came up the same damn way From rapping in the basement at my ya-ya's house

To center stage at the Wilma with a sold out crowd Still some days I'm a victim to doubt

But that's life man, we gon' figure it out This shit isn't easy and it doesn't get better

But we learn to sit back and adapt to the weather Strain through the pain to get to the pleasure

We got one life and it won't last forever

One time for the days you never had hope One time for the days you spent flat broke

One time cause we only got one time One life we tryna fill it up with sunshine

One time for the days you never had hope One time for the days you spent flat broke

One time cause we only got one time One life we tryna fill it up with sunshine

We gotta celebrate the small wins, then we all win Gotta learn to dribble if you wanna be ballin

We all start somewhere, usually it's unfair But comin' out on top, not a feelin' that can compare

You're not alone, you got an army right behind you Gotta strive through the lies, eventually you'll find truth

Snakes in the grass, hit em' with the fine tooth Life can be dark, but the light will shine through

It isn't easy and it doesn't get better But we learn to sit back and adapt to the weather

Straighten through the pain, to get to the pleasure We got one life and it won't last forever

It's just a bad day, not a bad life, man Hit em' with a left jab, hook em' with a right hand

Move like a butterfly, sting like a bee One time for the chorus, you can sing it with me, it goes

One time for the days you never had hope One time for the days you spent flat broke

One time cause we only got one time One life we tryna fill it up with sunshine

One time for the days you never had hope One time for the days you spent flat broke

One time cause we only got one time One life we tryna fill it up with sunshine
