One Day

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The money callin' but I ain't saving the contact Looking for Jesus, I'm tryin' to stay in contact I'm on my knees like I lost one of my contacts Prayin' to God my life don't end on a contract You don't know nothin' bout my pain You don't know nothin' bout my life You don't know nothin' bout my struggle Ma workin' back to back doubles Meanwhile I can't stay out of trouble It's hard to learn life lessons when you livin' in a bubble Now I gotta worry bout people thinkin I'm most other young men Ever since I put this mic in my hand, might as well have put a knife in my hand But while I'm at it, I might as well cut to the chase I don't think a lot of ya'll wanna see me in first place To be honest I wasn't even going for first place in the first place Just wanted to come up on the plate like I'm running to first base I know my mama waited for me to run home Sayin' that I hit a home run with a label A lot of people countin' on me I'm just tryna make a way Christian rapper rapping christian, I don't care about a label I been puttin' the work in But I only know five things for certain [Chorus] Uh, I was born for the storm I was made for the pain And the lane might switch but the drive stay the same I know things goin' pay off, one day Believe that Yeah, yeah, yeah Things goin' Things goin' pay off now Things goin' pay off now Things goin' pay off now One day things going pay off [Verse 2] My boy keep saying one day it'll all make sense God makin' 30k up out your 30 cents Like he did the bread and the fish I was fishing for a deal Young and only caught krill Cuz the hand I got dealt only made the bay melt Now my king is my ace [?] Even though I got jack, I was tryin' to be a joker Now my queen off the map I was ashamed of my hand so I put it in my lap But eventually game over now they askin' where the cards at Tried to be lazy but that just don't fit me like all of my suits I shoulda took off by now due to all this red bull and uice I'm loose off the juice My spirit bomb when I die like I'm Goku Why not work hard, I'm almost immortal I just look weird when I try to be normal Work ethic was rotten because I was spoiled Now the kid rap like aluminum foil You don't like the music, that's cool it ain't for you [Chorus] I was born for the storm I was made for the pain And the lane might switch but the drive stay the same [Bridge] I sat up in my bed, plottin' on what defeated me, defeated feated me I sat up in my bed, prayin' to God it would never ever happen again, no [Verse 3] All my life I've been on the seesaw Jacob and Esau My friends couldn't bring they self to see what I saw Kendrick Lamar, when the only good kid in the mad city n got greedy shots ringin' from the city talkin' doo, doo, doo, doo Party stopin' people running through the woo, woo, woo, woo I was only 9 when one of my homies tried to get me to sell work but I had to work to sell I learned from my daddy that that meant dying or going to jail, bail money wasn't optional Any money past bills was impossible But neither was me believing in God So what is it to the God meant that making up an obstacle Uh, this for my little cousin Pee Wee Uh, this for my big cousin Nesee Anybody tryna check me and stop me from jumpin' forward Just remember that you ain't in control of the chess board I'ma
