One way
Wiz Khalifa & Courtney Noelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wonderin' if we need to change
All I ever wanted was lights, cameras, action
People staring at night, cameras flashin'
Living the movie, not prepared to see the last scene
All I want is the pretty women for the casting
Won't confront him, put your money where your mask is
Buy them bottles by the case, we don't gotta chase
For the love of money, we in a million dollar race
Windows done tinted, niggas hate 'em, but I fish bowl
So I can let your ho see me while I'm in it, uh
See I ain't got a deal
But everybody know that I ain't kinda real
I'm hundred dollar bill authentic, yeah
Hotel room, marijuana's in it
Chevy watchin' the game, your bitch she rollin' me planes
Passport payin' my dividends for the fame
Mind in the gutter, you niggas ain't in my lane
This is not the life I chose, but it's the life that chose me
The money got me everywhere that all these hoes be
And they can talk crazy 'cause they don't know me
'Cause if you know me, I'm out here dreaming
The party hoes, the cars and clothes, living life is all I know
I found my lane and I won't change for nothing
There's only one way to go
Now they cop the mixtapes and watch my videos
Maybe 'cause I got bars like a serial code
Louie pouch full of pre-rolled
Mouth full of kush, mind on my zero
Hoes always thought I was cute but wouldn't speak though
Now they see me, and be jocking on my steelo
On a private ride higher than a ski slope
I'm just flyin', haters try and clip my wings though, whoa
Now they see us and wanna be us
I'm partyin' poppin' bottles
With models to meet and greet us
Fuck her, follow, and then retweet us
In the sky, so my nigga keep up
I don't know where this road will go, cause my life is crazy (fuckin' hoes, everywhere we go)
But I ain't changin', baby (This shit, you burn after you roll)
This is not the life I chose, but it's the life that chose me
The money got me everywhere that all these hoes be
And they can't talk crazy 'cause they don't know me
'Cause if you know me, I'm out here dreaming
The party hoes, the cars and clothes, living like it's all I know
I found my lane and I won't change for nothing
There's only one way to go
