Once Upon a Time Lyrics by Friends 4 Hire

Salt EP

2019

[Intro]
You take my Oneiric record guy
Alright we gon run it up right quick
Uhh, take two billion, four thousand, five hundred, ninety-six
Nam’ saying, alright, alright, alright
Word is bond
Better not have my Oneiric tape man
Word is bond, alright let’s get it
[Verse 1]
Once upon a time stood a child like me with a childish state of mind
This kid had childish dreams, want the wildest things
Said it’s a childish waste of time
But he said “Hold up, I don’t no 9 to 5”
Yeah I only live once, I ain’t 9 lives
Yeah you all feline, confine me define these lines
I head to the hills and b-line
Oh no, no no no, what you take me as
I ain’t your average fake brat who be making raps
Taking black music just to use it then go place it back
Trust me I could go through hell and I could make it back
I ain’t complacent, Undecided in the basement
Makin hits and getting placements, yeah they all in amazement
Some it don’t phase them till they day they see you cash in a check
Check yourself, get it straight yeah we in effect
[Verse]
I’m a little nigga, but my dreams are getting bigger
Checking off some goals, trying to tighten up my figure
Trying to make octuple figures, trying to reconnect with niggas
Wanna be a real one, wanna make you feel somn’
Damn
On that bang, bang, bang
Cause that shit don’t change
Once upon a time in brand new plain
I just let the music ride, hear that clang, clang, clang
Let the music ride, clang, clang, clang
[Breakdown]
Boys with a dream growing up in the SL scene
Trying to get the whole world to see
That you can come up from nothing, grow up and become someone
Come up from nothing, become someone
Climb up with time, the climb up-
Get structured, replace the sounds of str-
Replace the sounds of str- replace the sounds of stress
[Verse 3]
I’m just hoping one day that you can see this how I can see
This is real, this is what breathes the life in me
Every note, or every chord, or every song I play
It’s all beautiful to me, but they don’t see what goes behind it
Random circumstances perfect timing
It’s up to chances, I stay patient feels like I’m dying
I want it more than my next breath
I know this is my life calling from my first steps to the death bed
I can’t emphasize it enough
Only few things more in this life that I love
Reaching out to the few ears that will ever hear this
All I need is trust, just know its love
