One Life
Lex A.D. Lyrics

Whoa
Expression of emphasis

I got one life I can't live like this oh no
I only have one life and can't live it the way I currently am

Whoa I got one life to live
Expression of emphasis towards the fact that there's only one life to live

And it's mine i'm gone get it right this time
This life is for me and I'm going to get it right this time

Remember once upon a time
Reminiscing about the past

Living life behind the line
Living life cautiously or restrictedly

We was down way down now we lit so we shine
We were once in a bad situation, now we're successful and shining

Yay yay
Expression of excitement

I got one life to live
I only have one life

But I ain't living right
I'm not living my life the way I want or should be

I never been to Miami
I have never been to Miami

I'm going to Liv tonight
I'm going to Liv tonight

I want to go to Miami
I desire to go to Miami

I know it's hoes in Miami
I know there are women in Miami

They locked up my homie in Jacksonville and I gotta go see the family
A friend is locked up in Jacksonville, and I need to go see his family

Something like Duval County
Referring to the location of the imprisonment

But I do not know them surroundings
I am not familiar with that area

Don't get out of the house get kicked out of the house that's the only way I get around
I only leave the house when I am forced to because I don't have transportation

But I got a family now wife and kids depend on me now
I have a family now, and they depend on me

My conscious be killing me and I just feel like the world be pinning me down
I feel guilty, and the world seems to be holding me back

Going so hard working two jobs tearing my energy down
Working two jobs is taking a toll on my energy

Can't pray to your god when I know Allah be hunting my enemies down
I can't pray to my god when I know Allah will take care of my enemies

Now I cannot go to Miami if there ain't no food for the family and I ain't got funds
I can't go to Miami if there's no food for my family, and I don't have the money for it

Niggas be bustling with they side hustles I look like a sucker cause I ain't got one
People have side hustles, and I feel like a failure for not having one

Trying to keep up with the jones be apart of the people that party at Liv on a Sunday
Trying to keep up with everyone else and be a part of the Liv party scene

Ain't no hook up in sight and I'm cooking tonight but I bet that I book a flight one day
I don't have any connections in Miami, but hope to book a flight there one day

Ohhhh I got one life I can't live like this oh no
Expression of emphasis towards the fact that there's only one life to live and can't live like this

Whoa I got one life to live
Expression of emphasis towards the fact that there's only one life to live

And it's mine I'm gone get it right this time
This life is for me, and I'm going to get it right this time

Might do a pill or white
Might take a drug

Now I ain't feeling right
I don't feel right

Drunk in the face and I'm sunken in place so I think I been hypnotized
Feeling drunk and dazed, as if under hypnotic control

Smoking that dope behind VIP rope but they want a different high
Smoking marijuana behind VIP ropes, but others want a different kind of high

If ever I spoke I be trying to give hope but they want a different vibe
If I ever speak, I try to give hope, but others want a different feeling

You throw on my name without no respect and that get you fixed on sight
If you use my name without respect, you will be dealt with

I'm talking the left and the right uppercut him chin check him and slide
I will punch you and move on

I got the bread and the pie cookie but this ain't no edible high
I have money and drugs, but it's not a sustainable high

That's what you get no lie
That's what you get, and it's the truth

Me and my nigs won't die
My friends and I won't die

I mean we might pass over to another life but our shit gone ride
We might die, but our legacy will live on

Hold up wait this is my life
Wait, this is my life

That's all I get and you thinking that I ain't gone ball
This is all I get, and you think I won't succeed

I ain't gone fall
I won't fail

And if I do I'ma get right back up put my plaque on the wall
If I do, I'll get back up and keep pushing forward

Backing me down on the wall is this what we do am I wrong
A woman is coming on to me, and I'm questioning if this is the right thing to do

Don't know at all
I'm not sure

I just know I'm supposed to work on a Monday and I'm calling off Liv
I have work on Monday, but I'm calling off to go to Liv

Yay yay
Expression of excitement
