Lyrics

This ain't no One Direction, this the One Day in your section

Standing seven deep, shoulder to shoulder up in the session

The boys band together with many hands and get clever

Keep the heartland under protection

Contraband in our pockets could get us done for possession

That ain't really something I should mention (What you reckon?)

We set it off, 'cause it's seconds to high noon

Taking aim, tryna chase away the blues like a Piru

Need I remind you, how me and mine do?

How A. Diddy, N. Lup' and Jimmy Nice do?

Raph, Kai, my boy Joyride too

Shit, we been holding down the fort since high school

So, consider this the arrival

Driven by instincts for survival

See, besides me, I've always got my pride

So a little man lyin' couldn't ever be my rival

And that's final...

See, I remember when the broads we was with at fourteen liked Hanson

Now, they smoke weed and pour lean like Hanson

Rap romancin' rap Manson

Rack Charles off the mirrors in your mansion, fuck it, we young and handsome

Vicious cycle for the title, like Lance, when

You've been living off an infinite supply of enhancements

Hands north for the team that forecast their dreams

Weather all the in-betweens that come from taking chances

Raised off George Costanza, Kramer, Jerry, Elaines

I embedded my name before these stanzas

On trains ran through brains like benign cancers

Big man, I Columbine your campus

Gen Y know whose empire's the strongest

Rise been the shortest, sure to last the longest

The flyest girls be all on us, the dawn is surely upon us

Living by the sword but never falling on it, got it?

Many hands laying blueprint plans

Over benchtops, set it off (Set it off, set it off)

Do you wanna take that chance? Not a gambling man

But the smart money bet on us (Bet on us)

Ayy, what they call that, making light work

Ayy, what they call that, making light work

From empty lots to heavy lit spots

My whole team steady rock, then again, when have we not?

I'm a proud Australian; somehow, I'm alienated from

Maybe the place that we're becomin'

Vanity of a birthright, towing back boats

With searchlights, the lurch to the right is confrontin'

And we could feel it comin', so we hit the ground runnin'

Cooked up a little somethin' for the kids that bump it

I spit it from the summit, spit it like I was summoned

My country's going backwards, sick to my stomach

And it's easy to feel disheartened

When it feels like home is where the heartless

All I can do is make sure that the quill is sharpened

Let the ink spill till I fill the margins, still we're marchin'

Tryna build, tryna feel catharsis and chill

Close deals over meals with my partners

With many hands, you can shield the darkness

Regardless, steel sharpens steel, you bastards, ill

Many hands laying blueprint plans

Over benchtops, set it off (Set it off, set it off)

Do you wanna take that chance? Not a gambling man

But the smart money bet on us (Bet on us)

Ayy, what they call that, making light work

Ayy, what they call that, making light work

From empty lots to heavy lit spots

My whole team steady rock, then again, when have we not?

(One Day, bitch, check me out, uh)

It's the rap game Goro

Seem like anything we do, the rap game follow

Mad lames with bad game and lame sorrow

Stay sitting in the galleries while we pop bottles

(We some fuckin' role models) So here's a free lesson

On how to make a livin' off a Sunday session

Chillin' in the booth

While she spittin' out confessions, and I'm spinnin' on the decks

Ain't it funny how a few words turn into sex? Like

La la la

You're sitting on the bench, but we don't play

La la la

And if you're tryna throw shade, get the fuck out my way

La la la

Hear the whole crowd singing when we hit the stage, got 'em soundin' like

La la la

We got 'em singin' like la la la la la

(You know who it is, yeah!)

Me and my One Day clique up in the kitchen

We scheming, scheming, and I swear

Last night I had this real vivid dream and the whole room

Was heaving, heaving, now

This is not seven dudes messing round talkin' 'bout doing something

Basic, basic, nah

This is for the bus rides and breakups, boy, this is a decade

In the making, but I'm running out of patience, so watch me take it (Woo!)

Straight out the burbs, west side of the city

Where this white picket fence life got us all itchy

So we hit these corners fast enough to turn ourselves to history

And little missy playing games just to stay busy

So this what I'ma do, put it down with the crew

Yeah, that One Day before I fade away like a ombre

Just wanna to make something special 'fore I'm gone

But I can only see this going one way

Many hands laying blueprint plans

Over benchtops, set it off (Set it off, set it off)

Do you wanna take that chance? Not a gambling man

But the smart money bet on us (Bet on us)

Ayy, what they call that, making light work

Ayy, what they call that, making light work

From empty lots to heavy lit spots

My whole team steady rock, then again, when have we not?
