lyrics

One Time

[Chorus]
I’m saying let it ride for one time,
while I trade in all my life, an eye for one eye.
I swear that I won’t lie for one, not one rhyme.
Get it started I’ma write, write just one line.

[Verse]
But I guarantee when I come back to it, no longer a joke.
Bet you already knew it, but y’all should’ve known.
Believing in “Just Do It”, but y’all sittin’ close
to a tiny little cubicle, tie and a coat.
But I’m tying the rope, hanging down
from the window of my town.
Don’t really care, but I’m making ‘em proud.
Sit down, strap in, and prepare for the sound…

Of a tiny little whitey growing up at the back of the bus rhyming,
surrounded by rhythm and impeccable drum timing,
the shouting in the kitchen was really just inspiring,
learning to dodge all the bowls and plates flying.
Crack! On the other side.
Think I come from anything, you crack in another pipe.
Think of competition and I’m cracking up inside.
Got bigger ambition than a crackhead with a knife,
dangerous, and I’m made to bust anything to get what I need,
while you fade to rust, finally I know where to be,
turning walls to dust, finally they’re letting me speak,
it’s in all of us, gotta show I know how to bleed.
I’m educated, not decorated, you wanna hate?
Well I’m waitin’, to hear you say it.
You’re unaware, well I’m unabated. You underwear and I’m underrated.
I’m prepared and I must say it, that I made it ride… for one time

[Chorus]
Let it ride for one time,
while I trade in all my life, an eye for one eye.
I swear that I won’t lie for one, not one rhyme.
Get it started I’ma write, write just one line, one time…
