You
One Way Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been waiting
So long
Can't be dormant too long
Spent so long
Tryna make things right
Oh yeah
Now its time to live my own life
Whoa yeah
Just living my own life
(Whoa)
And tryna make it to the other side
Whoa yeah
I'm only gonna say it twice
(Whoa)
Cause now, cause now, cause now
Cause now they're telling all the lies
I've struck gold
It will be told
Only waiting for you to fit into my mold
Soon enough
Will be too good for the both of us
Far from now
I hope we are still not on the cusp
Whoa yeah
Just living my own life
(Whoa)
And tryna make it to the other side
Whoa yeah
I'm only gonna say it twice
Who are you
We are through
Don't be blue
Who are you
Whoa yeah
Just living my own life
(Whoa)
And tryna make it to the other side
Whoa yeah
I'm only gonna say it twice
Who are you
We are through




Don't be blue
Who are you

Overall Meaning

These lyrics to One Way Ft. Al Hudson's song, "You", speak of the artist's desire for independence and freedom to live their own life. The opening lines say they have been waiting for too long and cannot be dormant any longer. They have spent a long time trying to make things right, but now it’s time to focus on themselves. The artist seems to be fed up with the lies that are being told about them, and they are striking gold which will be made known to everyone. They are waiting for someone to fit into their mold, but warns that soon enough they will be too good for the both of them. They hope that they are not still contemplating the situation by then. The chorus continues to repeat the main idea of focusing on living their own life and making it to the other side, perhaps a metaphorical reference to achieving their goals. They question someone, asking who they are and reaffirm that they are through with the situation. There is a sense of finality in the tone of the lyrics as the artist seems to have made the decision to move on from what's been holding them back.
