I'm The One
DJ Khaled feat. Drake Rick Ross & Lil' Wayne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Get 'em up) Fuck it I'm on one
(Get 'em up) I said I'm on one, DJ Khaled uh
I'm getting so throwed
I ain't work this hard since I was eighteen
Apologize if I say, anything I don't mean
Like whats up with your best friend?
And whats 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 forty back to work but we still smell like a vacation
Hate the rumors, hate your 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 till 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 so somebody shoulda told ya 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, it could be pink
Depending on how you mix that shit
Money to be gotten and I'ma get that shit
Cause I'm on one, I said fuck it I'm on one
I'm burning purple flowers
It's burning my chest
I bury the most cash and burning the rest
Walking on the clouds, suspended in thin air
Do ones beneath me recognize the red bottoms I wear
Burner in the belt
Move the kids to the hills (Boss)
Bend shawty on the sink, do it for the thrill
Kiss you on ya neck and tell ya everything is great
Even though I'm out on bond I might be facin' eight's
Still running with the same niggas 'til the death of me
Ever seen a million cash, gotta count it carefully
Ever made love to the woman of your dreams
In a room full of money out in London as she screams
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 M G until I get the chair
All I care about is money and the city that I'm from
I'ma sip until I feel it, I'ma smoke it till 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 so somebody shoulda told ya 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, it could be pink
Depending on how you mix that shit
Money to be gotten 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 listening,
nigga what money?
I'm a made nigga
I should dust something
You niggas on the bench
Like the bus coming
Huh, ain't nothing sweet but the swishas
I'm focused might aswell say cheese for the pictures
Oh, I'm about to go Andre the Giant
You a sell out, but I ain't buying
Chopper dissect a nigga like science
Put an end to the world like Mayans
It's a celebration bitches, Mazel Tov
It's a slim chance I fall, olive oil
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
I'ma sip until I feel it, I'ma smoke it till 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 so somebody shoulda told ya 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, it could be pink
Depending on how you mix that shit
Money to be gotten and I'ma get that shit
'Cause I'm on one, I said fuck it I'm on one
(Get 'em up, get 'em up, get 'em up)
The chorus of the song, "I'm on one," is repeated multiple times throughout the song by DJ Khaled, and it sets up the mood for the entire song. It is a statement of being high and being in the moment. The artists talk about their success, their money, their possessions, and how they are on top of the world. They also touch upon the vices that come with their lifestyle, such as alcohol, drugs, and relationships. They acknowledge how fame has brought them a lot of rumors and allegations, and yet they rise above it all, feeling like the throne is theirs for the taking. They also assert how they don't care about anything else but money and their city.

I have a gun tucked in my waistband
Move the kids to the hills (Boss)

Bend shawty on the sink, do it for the thrill

Still running with the same niggas 'til the death of me
I'm loyal to my crew and will remain close with them no matter what
Ever seen a million cash, gotta count it carefully
I've made a lot of money and have to carefully count and manage it
Ever made love to the woman of your dreams
Have you ever had sex with the person you've always wanted to be with?
In a room full of money out in London as she screams
Having sex surrounded by money in London with a woman who's screaming in pleasure
Baby, I could take it there
I'm confident in my abilities and can satisfy any woman
Call Marc Jacobs personally to make a pair
I have so much money that I can personally call designer Marc Jacobs for a custom pair of shoes
So yeah, we on one, the feeling ain't fair (Khaled)

Yeah, too much money, ain't enough money
I have a lot of money but I still want more
You know the feds listening,
I'm aware that law enforcement is monitoring me
nigga what money?
I'm acting like I have no money, as if to avoid drawing attention from the authorities
I'm a made nigga
I'm established and respected in the streets
I should dust something
I should kill someone to prove my status
You niggas on the bench
You guys aren't doing anything important or significant
Like the bus coming
You guys are just waiting around like a bus that takes forever to arrive
Huh, ain't nothing sweet but the swishas
The only enjoyable part of this moment is smoking cigars
I'm focused might aswell say cheese for the pictures
I'm really focused on my goals and won't let anything distract me, even taking pictures
Oh, I'm about to go Andre the Giant
I'm about to go hard and dominate
You a sell out, but I ain't buying
You're a fake and I don't believe you
Chopper dissect a nigga like science
I'll kill somebody with a machine gun
Put an end to the world like Mayans
I have the capability to destroy anyone and anything
It's a celebration bitches, Mazel Tov
We're celebrating and having a good time, cheers
It's a slim chance I fall, olive oil
There's a slim chance I'll fail, like the slippery nature of olive oil
Tunechi be the name, don't ask me how I got it
My name is Lil Wayne, don't ask me how I got it
I'm killin' these hoes I swear I'm tryna stop the violence
I'm having sex with many women but I'm also trying to stop the violence and promote peace
And I'm only getting older so somebody shoulda told ya I'm on one yeah,
I'm getting older but still fearless and unstoppable
'Cause I'm on one, I said fuck it I'm on one
I don't care what anyone else thinks, I'm in the zone and doing me

When this came out I was homeless, on drugs, and then jail. I now have a house, job, and husband. This song and “Clover Cage - In The Sky” are the two songs that helped get rid of my depression. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you 💕
