One Day

I know one day, I won't have to wait in line

I know one day, I'mma get keys to that new ride

I know one day I'll be fine

And I know one day I'll get mine

And I know one day, hell it might be monday

I remember thinking man I need a decent ride

And I would have to ask my momma for the keys to drive

With my brother riding in an old Cutlass

Black and mild lit, whole roof busted

Well who knows maybe one day we'll have a little more

We'll finally shop somewhere else besides the corner store

My little sister say she gotta have a pair of dior's

But right now they'll probably stop us before we hit the door

My uncle say that's how it is where we come from

And if it weren't for bad luck, we wouldn't have none

Hard to tell the good days from the bad ones

If I could catch a shooting star then I would grab one

I'd grab one for real

I know one day, I won't have to wait in line

I know one day, I'mma get keys to that new ride

I know one day I'll be fine

And I know one day I'll get mine

And I know one day, hell it might be monday

I remember feeling trapped and no I couldn't get out

And when they laid my momma of no it just didn't amount

I still remember how she looked when she walked into the house

But still she tried her best to show what was christmas about

And if we wanted hot water we had to microwave it

And everyday the power cut off but we tolerate it

The thoughts of all the beats I lost because I forgot to save 'em

I'm screaming at me in the mirror like "I gotta make it!"

My teacher tryna get through to me because of my behaviour

I said, "I got big dreams and I gotta chase 'em"

I never cared a damn thing about a college major

I only had one need, that was a lot of paper

But see I never had a thing but a lot of prayers

After school, open mic night, rocking stages

It all started from a demo, to a limo

From a limo, to a lambo

And all of this came up outta decatur

'Cause I know one day, I won't have to wait in line

I know one day, I'mma get keys to that new ride

I know one day I'll be fine

And I know one day I'll get mine

And I know one day, hell it might be monday

One day, one day

I used to dream about these days and the thing that I'd do

Had to get a new life, cause the old just won't do

I used to dream shades of grey, now the sky's shining blue

And everyday it feels like there's a way I can't lose

'Cause I knew one day, I wouldn't have to wait in line

I knew one day, I would get keys to that new ride

I knew one day I'd be fine

And I knew one day I'd get mine

And I knew one day, and not just monday
