One Man

I wake up wishing I could make love

Another day worrying 'bout how I'ma cake up

How to realize the stories that I make up

And how the team is doing in the FA Cup

Can't put a dial on where my attitude is

So I sit down, write a gratitude list

It's filled with absolute bliss

Then I exercise, do I have to do this?

Showered and got dressed but I didn't get to brush my teeth (eeuw)

'Cause I didn't wanna miss the fucking bus to meet

My friend, who showed up in a Benz with custom seats

He said, "You wanna make dough?" I said, "Is custard sweet?"

Sweet. He gave me what sounds like a Mustard beat

Asked me if I could muster the creativity to write to it

If I do it, adjust a fee to my liking, so all I did was bust a free

One man. One man.

One man. One man. God damn.

One man. One man.

One man. One man. One man. God damn.

So he rapped what I did and the song went viral

Should have known then it was gonna spiral

Out of control but I didn't know

That my royalties would be ideal and slow

So when I asked him what the fuck was going on

Asking where the cash is and what was going wrong

After we were going strong, **** whined to the internet

Lying to his fans, undermining my intellect

I had to intersect. Made a press release

Said that I would talk about it on my next release

Another artist crying 'bout 'he wants an extra piece'

Throwing tantrums, online expressing peace

Which was cool until the audio leaked

Of me cussing out my team, now they're all just so freaked

They cancelled the live artist and cancelled the ghost too

What were they supposed to do, being exposed to

One man. One man

One man. One man. God damn

One man. One man

One man. One man. One man. God damn

This whole situation triggered my anxiety

I figured I would be the bigger guy, or at least try to be (I really did)

So I called his parents (I really did)

I saw him there in raggedy clothes, an appalling appearance

They said they stripped him of all his merits

I told him his song sampled my song and he didn't call for clearance

You see, I already had it registered

Copyright was in my name when the pledge occurred

He was trying to get the story he alleges heard

Seems like a clear picture but the edges blurred

And on that day I filed a lawsuit

Pretty karma, I don't know what could be more cute

Eventually to his impediment

I negotiated a settlement

One man
