[Intro]
Yeah yeah yeah
Oowooh
Listen

[Verse 1]
You might be a millionaire
Or discovered a cure for disease
You might be cool with the president
Or have around the clock security

But none of that matters if you don't know the Lord
'Cause you can't pay your way in
And I don't wanna be the one to say I told ya
So I'ma scream it loud and clear

[Chorus]
There's only one, one, one, one way
Only one, one, one, one way
Only one, one, one, one way
If you wanna get there, let me hear you say one way

[Post-Chorus]
One aww-oop, one way
One aww-oop
Na na na na na na na na na, aww-oop

[Verse 2]
You might be most likely to succeed
In the class of 2016
Employee of the month or the mom of the year
That's nice but it's all that it mean

And none of that matters if you don't know the Lord
Cause you can't get voted in
I don't wanna be the one to say I told ya
So I'ma say it to you again

[Chorus 2]
One, one, one way
One, one, one way
Only one, one, one, one way
If you wanna get there let me hear you now
One

[Interlude]
There's only one way
If you wanna see

[Chorus 3]
One, one, one way
One, one, one way
Only one, one, one, one way
If you wanna get there let me hear you now
One, one, one way
One, one, one way
Only one, one, one, one way

[Post-Chorus]
One aww-oop
One aww-oop
Only one, one, one, one way
If you wanna get there let me hear you now
Aww-oop
