One Time
Ace Autumn Lyrics

I've been on my grind
I have been working consistently and diligently

Every single day
Without interruption or breaks

Mama need the rent
My mother needs the money for the rent

For the month of May
Specifically for the month of May

For the life of me
Despite my best efforts

Mom I never knew
I didn't realize

I was busy
I was preoccupied

I forgot the day the rent was due
I failed to remember the deadline for the rent payment

One time, one time
This is a plea for a single occurrence or chance

Let this be the last time, last time
I hope this is the final instance

That I ever ask for more time, more time
That I have to request additional time

Ooh, why you worried bout my revenue
Why are you concerned about my income

I was busy, I was reppin' up my avenue
I was occupied, promoting and representing my neighborhood

I been makin' hits, I been writin' songs
I have been creating successful and popular music

Tryna get the whole neighborhood to sing along
Attempting to engage and involve the entire community in my music

Let me hear you one time, one time
I want to hear your support and enthusiasm once

If you only know one line, one line
Even if you only know a single part of the song

Yell that loud as you can
Shout it with all your strength

Make me feel like I'm the man
Give me a sense of confidence and importance

Hold up, hold up
Wait a moment, pause

I know, I know, I know, I know
I am aware, fully conscious

I been cookin' heat up in the mornin like Alonzo
I have been creating exceptional music early in the day, like Alonzo Mourning (a basketball player known for his skill)

While they spendin' avocado
While others waste their money on frivolous things

Poppin' bottle after bottle
Drinking alcoholic beverages excessively

What's the word? Tell me now
What's the news or information? Let me know

Did you even fuck the model?
Did you have sexual intercourse with the model?

Did you bring her to your house though
Did you invite her to your residence?

Middle finger all up in her pussy doesn't count though
Engaging in sexually explicit acts doesn't necessarily qualify as a meaningful connection

No fucks given
I don't care at all

How you judge me
In what way do you form opinions about me

Is it cause I'm gettin' lifted
Is it because I am consuming drugs or alcohol

I'm the same motherfucker out here tryna make a livin
I am still the same person who is striving to earn a living

Drivin' by my old crib
Passing by my previous residence

Same place that I started off
The exact location where I began my journey

Recordin' all of my old shit
Creating recordings of my earlier music

Same place I had bitches over
The same location where I used to invite women

Never did nothin
Nothing of significance ever happened

I was too shy
I felt too timid or self-conscious

Same place with that low ceiling
The location had a low height for the ceiling

I hit my head when I'm too high
When intoxicated, I accidentally hit my head on the low ceiling

Can't breathe, I can't breathe
I am struggling to inhale oxygen

Breakin' out of my box
Escaping from my confined and limited situation

Came to realize that
I have come to understand

Now I'm set free
I am now liberated and unrestricted

It must be my time
This is the moment when I am supposed to succeed

Waited long for this shit to happen
I have patiently waited for this significant event or achievement

It's special though
This moment is extraordinary and significant

Just trust me
Have faith in my abilities and judgement

92 baby
I was born in 1992

November baby
Specifically, my birth month is November

Hear my old lady
Listen to my mother

She drivin' me crazy
She is causing me emotional distress

Bill after bill
Sequentially receiving and needing to pay bills

She got third degree burns
She is experiencing severe emotional or physical pain

Poppin' pill after pill
Taking medication excessively

God take the pain away
I am pleading for relief from suffering to a higher power

She's been through enough
She has experienced a lot of hardship

She's the one that gave me life
My mother is the reason for my existence

I'm the one to give her love
It is my responsibility to show her affection and care

Daddy never gave enough
My father never provided sufficient support or love

Daddy never gave a fuck
My father was indifferent and unconcerned

Daddy, why you comin' home
Father, why are you returning

Daddy, why you always drunk
Father, why are you consistently intoxicated

Daddy put the bottle down
Father, stop drinking alcohol

You're the reason that we always fell apart
You are the cause of our constant separation or failure

Whatever you've been sippin
The substance you have been drinking

Got you different now
It has caused you to change as a person

Left mom with a broken heart
My mother was emotionally hurt and devastated by your actions

Missed calls every time when you call to talk
You never answer or respond when my mother tries to reach out

I hear the pain in your voice
I can detect the suffering and anguish in your tone

Why is the percentage in the bottle makin' your choice
Why is the alcohol content influencing your decisions

Now look who's the man
Now observe or recognize my success and achievement

I got plans, I got plans
I have intentions and strategies

Rub my hands, do my dance
Gesturing by rubbing my hands together and performing a celebratory dance

Thought you knew
I assumed you were aware

My delivery's cold
My style and performance are exceptional and impressive

Got your girl fallin' for me
I have captured the interest and attraction of your girlfriend

Then the rest just follow
Others will imitate or pursue me as well

Dominoes
In a sequence or chain-like effect

That I ever ask for more time
That I have to request additional time

That I ever ask for more time
That I have to request additional time
