one & One Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mmmm
Sharks Gotta eat
Kavo
Ain't got time today
Sometimes wanna fly away
To much on my mind aye aye
Said I cant but I'll find a way
No my life wasn't made
So every night I prayed
They want me to fall if they leaf like I can't feel the shade
Always stay solid always speak the truth just like a young nigga supposed to
To many times crying in the hospital hoping my family they pull through
Better not act a fool cuz I already know that ain't nawn nigga bulletproof
Heard my name going around I ain't talking no Hula hoop
They tried to take me down
Thinking back to the old house now
Going dumb I could never tap-out
Growing up I was just a lil sprout
You gone strike out if I'm throwing the pitch
Trap house I was stuck in the trench
Shooting star better make you a wish
In the future wonder what I'll get
How could I ever forget
Green box everyday we was lite
Run my way then I'm calling a blitz
Since a kid I been rapping like this
Thinking one day we all gone be rich
This shark never swim with the fish
Bite down like I'm playing with pits
This one is as real as it gets
Ain't got time today
Sometimes wanna fly away
To much on my mind aye aye
Said I cant but I'll find a way
No my life wasn't made
So every night I prayed
They want me to fall if they leaf like I can't feel the shade
They say that lil one he a soldier
Only the real ones they notice
Just wanna feel sum heart broken
RIP korben always the oldest
Why the youngest always the strongest
Folks always up to something
I was taught always keep it 100
Life strange but I'm focused on money
Showed them my heart but they really didn't care
Life cold I might need a moncler
Drop yo nuts had to grow me a pair
Needed me always was there
Needed them and they only want stare
Wont lie to you on my life I swear
I was never one to play them games
I was youngest but always could hang
If you ain't got nun good to say should've never even said nun
All sound like me I guess that's why I'm the hardest one
They tried to steal my wave like I never even had one
Seem like they already hate but just wait until the bag come
Ain't got time today
Sometimes wanna fly away
To much on my mind aye aye
Said I cant but I'll find a way
No my life wasn't made




So every night I prayed
They want me to fall if they leaf like I can't feel the shade
