One Lyrics by James Lanning

2016

[Intro: James Lanning]
And we are, and we are one, one away
'Cause I do my thing, I thought you'd know
There's only room for one, one of us got to go

[Verse 1: James Lanning]
I done seen myself change in a matter of minutes
They said get set to run to die and I tied up my tennis
I told 'em long as I'm alive I'ma grind 'til I finish
And if it's twenty-five to life I'll re-write a new sentence
There's been a fire in my mind since I died and re-lit it
I pried a knife from my spine then they lied and then hid it
And I decided some while back while I was Infinite
I wouldn't ride for the pie you can't buy me with digits
Lets get it
Who you playing? You confused? You should know something
I ain't ever fuckin with you, bitch I owe you nothing
I'm sorry momma I ain't really who you thought I was
'Cause everybody thinks they know you once you've caught a buzz
I'm selfish I'm humble I'm patient I'm angry
I swear I barely know myself but yet they anxious to paint me, It's making me crazy, like I'll just run in place 'til I'm eighty, Waiting 'til they finish tracing all my paces then maybe
They'll finally let me pull the plug and keep it moving
But I refuse to live my life consumed in an illusion
I'm human I'm James Carey I'm Truman
The flame carried em through when
They all tore down his world with his name buried in ruin

[Hook: James Lanning]
'Cause I do my thing, I thought you'd know
There's only room for one, one of us got to go
And if you knew my pain, I think it'd show
There's only room for one, one of us got to go
Yea one of us got to go

[Verse 2: James Lanning]
I cut you off stitched it up and made a better me
Lost feeling like Ernest Wilson yea no identity
Caught up wishing that I was everyone else instead of me
It's hard moving forward when you're living in your memories
Like, dub that, I don't want to run back
Shit I know I wouldn't make it shit I know I couldn't take it
I'd been divided debating on whether I'd been forsaken
While going blind in a basement
Man fuck rewinding the time I was just misguided mistaken Anything that I thought I needed but wanted
Barely breathing without even ever seeing the summit
I've been meaning to start leaving anything that I covet
'Cause other than this there isn't shit
Yea there's nothing above it, run it

[Bridge: James Lanning]
And I've been waiting on you
'Cause you're the only one
And I've been waiting on you for awhile now
And you don't know who you are
You (x7)
Yeah you don't know who you are
Who you are
Who you are

[Hook: James Lanning]
'Cause I do my thing, I thought you'd know
There's only room for one, one of us got to go
And if you knew my pain, I think it'd show
There's only room for one, one of us got to go
Yea one of us got to go

[Verse 3: James Lanning]
Anything I ever wanted man I made it happen (just one step)
I had a question for Hendrix I had a way to ask him
I bled on, said fuck the self-pity and loathing keep going
Shit you're lucky you're alive mother fucker so show it
You've been listening to pride you decided you'll blow it
I promise it's just in your mind it's a lie and you know it
I throw it back in their faces as everybody just stares blankly Watching agitated your congregation can't dare rape me
Frankly you should take the step that I didn't
Shit you'll never know my life to tell me how I should live it
And it's

[Outro: James Lanning]
Just one, just one, just one, just one step
Just one, just one, just one, just one step
Just one, just one, just one, just one step
Just one, just one, just one, take one breath
Take one breath , take one breath
