One way
Kid Kenzi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yea! Kenzi
Yea, yea, yea, yea

Everything is moving by me, time ain't gonna stop here
Just a year ago I was a no one now I'm top tier
I don't see a battleship or plane that I could not steer
I don't hesitate I'm going straight in, I don't got fear
Made a couple enemies but honestly that's nothing new

And I got some doubters but in time they gonna love me too
I done built this right up from the bottom and that's somethin' true
There ain't be a shortcut or a line that I be cutting through
I can see the fake friends, they bitter cause I'm so fly
Telling me they with me, but behind my back to go die
Y'all might wanna test me but it's better that you don't try
I'ma tell the truth, don't get it twisted like a bow tie
I don't play no games and I bet that you want none of it
I could say a couple things that'd probably make you wanna quit
Honestly this place is getting filthy, I'ma govern it
I ain't mean to do it but I thought I'd write another hit (ah)

I don't think there's one thing that you're taking from me
If you wanna take a chance homie you can come see
And I'm getting sick and tired with the way that some be
I'ma stand on my ground, you can't ever bump me
If I tell you I'ma get it, I'ma get it, alright
I been grinding everyday and I been working all night
I know that this road ain't easy, I'ma get there some day
Made a promise to myself, I'ma make it one way

I ain't making no excuse and that's a known fact
When I get up to the top I'm bringing up my whole pack
All of my competitors are mad, they know I wont lack
I can see the tears that they be fighting hard to hold back
If you never showed me love before then you should set aside
I done kept a list so don't go thinking that you'll get a ride
You were never there for me and I ain't gonna let it slide
Try to talk to me again I'll take you out with pesticide
One thing that I learned is everybody here is so fake
Acting like they hard, but they be softer than a snow flake
And they try to take advantage of you for their own sake
I don't need no help, I'm on my own and taking no break
Try to kill my vibe and I'ma block you out like censorship
Focus on yourself don't worry bout me, come on, get a grip
I been drinking holy water, you won't get to ever sip
I'ma hold on to my passion, I will never let it slip (ah)

I don't think there's one thing that you're taking from me
If you wanna take a chance homie you can come see
And I'm getting sick and tired with the way that some be
I'ma stand on my ground, you can't ever bump me
If I tell you I'ma get it, I'ma get it, alright
I been grinding everyday and I been working all night
I know that this road ain't easy, I'ma get there some day
Made a promise to myself, I'ma make it one way

I don't think there's one thing that you're taking from me
If you wanna take a chance homie you can come see
And I'm getting sick and tired with the way that some be
I'ma stand on my ground, you can't ever bump me
If I tell you I'ma get it, I'ma get it, alright
I been grinding everyday and I been working all night

I know that this road ain't easy, I'ma get there some day
Made a promise to myself, I'ma make it one way
