Day One Lyrics by James Vane

0

[Verse 1]

I was sitting lackadaisical in the back of the class
Massive fan of the bars by Kendrick lamar
And sparse beats that lacked pace any hearts they could grasp
We just loved to clutch on to the art of our stars
Progressing every day with the rap that I wrote
When I met J cole and told him I rapped cold
He was like oh word then he laughed it off so quick
No joke, true shit was young and so foolish
Treated schooling like sewage totally useless
Was too obsessed with producing new music
Desperate to impress through fake expression
Peer pressure was a snake on the right direction
Stupid excuses for work not sent in
Resin untouched in my violin case sin
On my mind with a little bit of rhyming hits
Nice kisses from the woman that I live with on the skin

[Hook]

Back then I was so far gone
So far gone, so far gone
Now I got the whole world on lock
For all of my music about to drop
X2

[Verse 2]

Let me tell you a story about my old life
Some of it’s true you decide for yourself
I used to deal drugs on a regular basis
Back while all of my friends were faking their faces
Flagrant vices up in the sinus
Eyes dilated times were the nicest
My life laced with high risk
High heel shoes lie, deal who you knew
My youthful pupils had brutal funerals
My iris was weak from all the abuse
High as a kite every single night
Until I met the woman who saved my life
A maze of concern you averted quickly
The person with me stopped the curse within me
Thinly escaped the ultimate cost
Nearly relapsed and died I was fortunate god

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
I was sprinting in my city for a little bit of glory
Athletic but four people never looked back and saw me
Appalled at no first place always second to eighth
I could not tolerate getting no trophy or plate
But as far as rap goes my goals are bigger than Gam B’s
Crafting hits in the pantry to sell quicker than fancy
My family needs to know that I am going to win a grammy
And you need to understand me that I do not need a plan B
Travelling away from the land where I have been
Unravelling the sight of the pineal gland
Taking the eyes right to the divine land
No need to align I just hope your inspired
The punters in my city they predict my demise
But with my message and flow I will never capsize
I just write for the love, one day to provide
Confide with you my life through rhyme
