these days
Coppola Imani Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

One of these days
I'm gonna be happy
One of these days
I'm gonna piss all over myself laughing
One of these days
I'm gonna get the punchline
One of these days
I'm gonna be happy

Till then I'm gonna bitch, moan, and groan
And hold the phone!
I'm not done
Where's everybody goin'?
What the fuck
This shit sucks
I'm bored
I'll take these two calls
To hell with you
To hell with me
To hell with hell
I'm gonna be happy
One of these days
I'm gonna be happy
One of these days
I'm gonna piss all over myself laughing
One of these days
I'm gonna get the punchline

One of these days
I'm gonna be happy
