I'm the One
DJ Khaled Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I get 'em up (I'm on one)
I get 'em up (fuck it, I'm on one)
I get 'em up (I said, "I'm on one")
DJ Khaled

Uh, I'm getting so throwed
I ain't went this hard since I was eighteen
Apologize if I say anything I don't mean
Like, "What's up with your best friend?
We could all have some fun, believe me"
And, "What's up with these new niggas?"
And why they think it all comes so easy?
But get it while you here, boy
'Cause all that hype don't feel the same next year, boy
Yeah, and I'll be right here in my spot
With a little more cash than I already got
Trippin' off you 'cause you had your shot
With my skin tanned and my hair long and my fans who been so patient
Me and 40 back to work, but we still smell like a vacation
Hate the rumors, hate the bullshit, hate these fucking allegations
I'm just feeling like the throne is for the taking, watch me take it

All I care about is money and the city that I'm from
I'ma sip until I feel it, I'ma smoke it 'til it's done
And I don't really give a fuck and my excuse is that I'm young
And I'm only getting older, somebody should've told you

I'm on one, yeah
Fuck it, I'm on one, yeah
I said, "I'm on one"
Fuck it, I'm on one
Two white cups and I got that drink
Could be purple or could be pink
'Pending on how you mix that shit
Money to be got and I'ma get that shit
'Cause I'm on one
I said, "Fuck it, I'm on one"

Huh, I'm burning purple flowers, it's burning my chest (huh)
I bury the most cash and burning the rest (stuntin')
Walking on the clouds, suspended in thin air (yeah)
The ones beneath me recognize the red bottoms I wear (check it)
Burner in the belt, move the kids to the hills (boss)
Bend shawty on the sink, do it for the thrill (woo)
Kiss you on your neck and tell you, "Everything is great" (right)
Even though I'm out on bond and might be facing eight
Still runnin' with the same niggas 'til the death of me
Ever seen a million cash? Gotta count it carefully (haha)
Ever made love to the woman of your dreams
In a room full of money out in London as she screams? (Woo)
Huh, baby, I could take it there
Call Marc Jacobs personally to make a pair
So, yeah, we on one, the feeling ain't fair (Khaled)
And it's double MG until I get the chair, chyeah

All I care about is money and the city that I'm from (huh)
I'ma sip until I feel it, I'ma smoke it 'til it's done
And I don't really give a fuck and my excuse is that I'm young
And I'm only getting older, somebody should've told you

I'm on one, yeah
Fuck it, I'm on one, yeah
I said, "I'm on one"
Fuck it, I'm on one
Two white cups and I got that drink
Could be purple or could be pink
'Pending on how you mix that shit
Money to be got and I'ma get that shit
'Cause I'm on one
I said, "Fuck it, I'm on one"

I walk around the club, fuck everybody
And all my niggas got that heat, I feel like Pat Riley
Yeah, too much money, ain't enough money
You know the feds listenin', nigga, what money?
I'm a made nigga, I should dust something
You niggas on the bench, like the bus comin'
Huh, ain't nothin' sweet but the Swishers
I'm focused might as well say cheese for the pictures
Oh, I'm about to go Andre the Giant
You a sellout, but I ain't buying
Chopper dissect a nigga like science
Put an end to the world like the Mayans
It's a celebration, bitches, Mazel Tov
It's a slim chance I fall, Olive Oyl
Tunechi be the name, don't ask me how I got it
I'm killin' these hoes, I swear I'm tryna stop the violence

All I care about is money and the city that I'm from (yeah)
I'ma sip until I feel it, I'ma smoke it 'til it's done
And I don't really give a fuck and my excuse is that I'm young
And I'm only getting older, somebody should've told you

I'm on one, yeah (Young Mula, baby)
Fuck it, I'm on one, yeah (YMCB)
Yeah, I said, "I'm on one" (uh-huh)
Fuck it, I'm on one
Two white cups and I got that drink
Could be purple or could be pink
'Pending on how you mix that shit
Money to be got and I'ma get that shit
'Cause I'm on one (haha)
I said, "Fuck it, I'm on one"

I get 'em up
I get 'em up




I get 'em up
DJ Khaled

She the one that bring them rain drops (rain drops)
We go back, remember criss-cross and hopscotch? (hopscotch)
You the one that hold me down when the block's hot (hot)
I make your dreams come true when you wake up (dream)
And your look's just the same without no make-up
Had to pull up on your mama, see what you're made of (mama)
Ain't gotta worry 'bout 'em commas 'cause my cake up (cake)
You can run inside my life on that fame bus (skrr)
'Cause I promise when we step out you'll be famous (yeah)
Modern day Bonnie and Clyde what they named us (why?)
'Cause when we pull up (prr, prr) all angles

Okay though
Uh, she beat her face up with that new Chanel
She like the price, she see the ice, it make her coochie melt
When I met her in the club I asked her who she felt
Then she went and put that booty on that Gucci belt
We don't got no label
She say she want bottles, she ain't got no table
She don't got no bed frame, she don't got no tables
We just watchin' Netflix, she ain't got no cable, okay though
Plug, plug, plug, I'm the plug for her
She want a nigga that pull her hair and hold the door for her
Baby, that's only me, bitch, it okay with me
Baby, okay, okay though
Yeah, you're lookin' at the truth, the money never lie no
I'm the one, yeah, I'm the one
Early mornin' in the dawn, know you wanna ride now (let's ride)

I'm the one
Oh-eh-oh-oh-oh, oh-eh-oh
I'm the only one
Lookin' for the one? Well, bitch, you're looking at the one
I'm the best yet, and yet, my best is yet to come
'Cause I've been lookin' for somebody, not just any fuckin' body
Don't make me catch a body, that's for any and everybody
Oh my God, she hit me up all day, get no response
Bitch, you blow my high, that's like turnin' gold to bronze
Roll my eyes
And when she on the molly, she a zombie
She think we Clyde and Bonnie, but it's more like Whitney and Bobby
God forgive me
Tunechi F, finessin', I'm a legend
Straight up out The Crescent, fly your bae down for the Essence
For the record I knew Khaled when that boy was spinnin' records
Mula Gang, winnin' record, I'm just flexin' on my exes, oh God
Yeah, you're lookin' at the truth, the money never lie no
I'm the one, yeah, I'm the one
Early mornin' in the dawn, know you wanna ride now (let's ride)
I'm the one, yeah (let's ride), I'm the one, yeah
Yeah, you're sick of all those other imitators
Don't let the only real one intimidate you
See you watchin', don't run outta time now

Don't you know girl, don't you know girl
I am the one for you (I'm the one) yeah I'm the one
Don't you know girl, don't you know girl
I am the one for you (I'm the one) yeah I'm the one
Don't you know girl, don't you know girl
