One Day
[unknown] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One day, my mom is gon' be able to quit Geel
Because of this pen and my sick skills
Mom, your son is gonna make it, no more months on end being late on many payments
One day, no more workin' 9 to 5s slavin' for a check
Days being depressed, only gettin' paid makin' minimum wage
Tryna survive off that, wastin' my life fuck that
One day, hopefully I find a girl that's worth my time
Because it really hurts when I, hand over my trust
And get taken advantage of, then I walk into a new relationship with damaged love
One day, hopefully I find the courage to call my dad
Haven't spoke to him in quite a while, grandma said I was the cause for his heart attack
The way I'm feelin' right now, I don't wanna call him back
One day, I'm gon' be sellin' out arenas, the whole crowd screamin'
Finally livin' out my dreams, makin' huge figures
I pray that I don't lose my soul to demons, when I get bigger
One day, if I end up havin' kids, I hope that they don't turn out just like me
If happens, it probably won't surprise me
Reapin' what I sow, everything I put my mother through
Causin' trouble at every school
One day, I'm gon' be a multi millionaire, by the time I'm twenty five
You think I'm lyin?, til you see me swimmin' in cash
From spittin' raps, my hard work is gonna pay off
I'm gettin' the last laugh
One day, success is what I'm headed towards
Workin' everyday like it's my last twenty four
My time is valuable, and I ain't tryna waste it
Every rhyme written to attack the booth




And be known as the motherfuckin greatest
Yea, as the motherfuckin greatest

Sometimes I lay under the moon
And thank God I'm breathin'
Then I pray, "Don't take me soon
'Cause I am here for a reason"
Sometimes in my tears I drown
But I never let it get me down
So when negativity surrounds
I know someday, it'll all turn around because
All my life, I've been waitin' for
I've been prayin' for, for the people to say
That we don't wanna fight no more
There'll be no more wars, and our children will play
One day (one day), one day (one day)
One day (oh-oh-oh)
One day (one day), one day (one day)
One day (oh-oh-oh)
It's not about win or lose
'Cause we all lose when they feed on the souls of the innocent
Blood-drenched pavement
Keep on movin' though the waters stay ragin'
In this maze, you can lose your way, your way
It might drive you crazy
But don't let it faze you, no way, no way
Sometimes in my tears I drown (I drown)
But I never let it get me down (get me down)
So when negativity surrounds (surrounds)
I know someday, it'll all turn around because
All my life, I've been waitin' for (waitin' for)
I've been prayin' for (prayin' for), for the people to say
That we don't wanna fight no more (fight no more)
There'll be no more wars (no more wars), and our children will play
One day (one day), one day (one day)
One day (oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, one day)
One day (one day), one day (one day)
One day (oh-oh-oh)
One day, this all will change, treat people the same
Stop with the violence, down with the hate
One day, we'll all be free and proud to be
Under the same sun, singin' songs of freedom like
Wah-yo (one day, one day), wah-yo, oh, oh (oh-oh-oh)
Wah-yo (one day, one day), wah-yo, oh, oh (oh-oh-oh)
All my life, I've been waitin' for
I've been prayin' for, for the people to say
That we don't wanna fight no more
There'll be no more wars, and our children will play
One day (one day), one day (one day)
One day (oh-oh-oh)
One day (one day), one day (one day)
One day (oh-oh-oh)
One day, one day, one day

Sometimes I lay
Under the moon
And thank God I'm breathing
Then I pray
Don't take me soon
'Cause I am here for a reason

Sometimes in my tears I drown
But I never let it get me down
So when negativity surrounds
I know some day it'll all turn around because...

All my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
For the people to say
That we don't wanna fight no more
There will be no more wars
And our children will play
One day [6x]

It's not about
Win or lose
'Cause we all lose
When they feed on the souls of the innocent
Blood-drenched pavement
Keep on moving though the waters stay raging

In this maze you can lose your way (your way)
It might drive you crazy but don't let it faze you, no way (no way)

Sometimes in my tears I drown (I drown)
But I never let it get me down (get me down)
So when negativity surrounds (surrounds)
I know some day it'll all turn around because...

All my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
For the people to say
That we don't wanna fight no more
There will be no more wars
And our children will play
One day [6x]

One day this all will change
Treat people the same
Stop with the violence
Down with the hate

One day we'll all be free
And proud to be
Under the same sun
Singing songs of freedom like
One day [4x]

All my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
For the people to say
That we don't wanna fight no more
There will be no more wars
And our children will play
One day [6x]
