One Life
Ladi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I put caution on that track because it's hard to choose
I know winning is a mindset so there's no excuse
Searching for the law but running wild and loose
Trying to clear my head up off that yak and goose
Roll another jay and let my mind escape
Wishing that my mind was not so far away
Looking for my angels come and set me straight
But i'm still not ready for those pearly gates

Wishing intuition takes me what I need
Knowing that my actions make it hard to breathe
Feeling like I don't see what you see in me

There's only one life left in that abyss
There's only two sides left to fight in this fight
There's only three words left to say to bliss
Call it what you want but I will never kiss
This pain you feel cos I, maintain the course with an open stride
Get me to the end or we can never win
It's my greatest fear or my biggest sin
It's my greatest fear or my biggest sin
It's my greatest fear or my biggest sin
It's my greatest fear or my biggest sin
It's my greatest fear or my biggest sin

This is that common sense that got commandeered up into karma since then like whoa
This is that love that got you that turned and got you with the karma since you let go
I'm breaking records on records, solo to solo i'm up in here wrecking
Y'all know that my mind is destined to keep me in check and remind me what's next
When I fall into blessings
Call me that new soul with the first breaks like
Call me that old school with the pump fakes like
Never second guessing that's a silly question
Working close with karma did I forget to mention
Working this all day and all night for you
Gone are the dark days and the dark nights that
Had you in chains, I was just missing your name
Inscribed in my heart cos I've been through this pain
Our love is a game but that'd never gonna change

There's only one life left in that abyss
There's only two sides left to fight in this fight
There's only three words left to say to bliss
Call it what you want but I will never kiss
This pain you feel cos I, maintain the course with an open stride
Get me to the end or we can never win
It's my greatest fear or my biggest sin
It's my greatest fear or my biggest sin
It's my greatest fear or my biggest sin
It's my greatest fear or my biggest sin

It's my greatest fear or my biggest...... sin....
It's my greatest fear or my biggest sin
It's my fight, it's your fight, it's our lives
Its all that I choose to survive

There's only one life left in that abyss
There's only two sides left to fight in this fight
There's only three words left to say to bliss
Call it what you want but I will never kiss
This pain you feel cos I, maintain the course with an open stride
Get me to the end or we can never win
It's my greatest fear or my biggest sin
It's my greatest fear or my biggest sin

It's my greatest fear or my biggest sin
It's my greatest fear or my biggest sin
