One Time Lyrics by MaJiK MC

Death Is Promised

2016

[Chorus] x 2
One time for my parents
Two times so they hear it
Three times for the love
For the love, for the love
[Verse 1]
I was like eight…maybe nine
The whole time…I was crying
On the ride back from the tourney, feeling unworthy
Second to his gold, in the seat, I was buried
Deep…nearly drowned in my tears
And my biggest fear is still the same after all these years
After all the beers, all the weed, all the drugs
You still got love for a son that only fucks shit up
…All the money you could’ve saved
I promise to repay one day, I swear, it won’t go to waste
And the pain when you found me in the courtroom
…Walking through those doors, you
Were just glad I was alive…But your eyes
Had me feeling like I died and I hate that I lied
Tell you they weren’t mine…Mom, I don’t deserve you
But I yearn to make you proud so from here on out…
[Chorus]x2
[Verse 2]
And to the man…who taught me everything I know
The greatest person in the world…you helped me grow
From a seed, I know you see a lot of you inside of me
And that means, this apple didn’t fall that far from the tree
I’ma be…Like father like son
And not once have you doubted about the kind of man that I’d become
You can trust I’ma earn my inheritance
You gave me err’thing, now I’m gonna better it
And fit your shoes, walk a little farther then you
Teach my kids the same ‘cause that’s what father should do
Keep it moving, improving, not to be confused with
Trying prove shit…just be you, it’s
Life…A little hard but work harder
Lend a hand when you can, have a heart but serve smarter
Like you said...I know you wanna help
But first you gotta help yourself before anybody else
[Chorus] x 2
[Verse 3]
Now I know it may seem like I’m stubborn, I don’t listen
…I just love being different
In love with adrenaline, the rush that you get when
You’re running the distance, becoming the difference
…Be the change you wanna see
Like how the both of you had came from overseas
Overcame the diseases and pain to be free
So how can you expect anything less but the same out of me?
When you’ve given me the spirit of a fighter
The calm of a tiger, no fear like fire
My father, the lighter, my momma, the pride
My heart and my guide, the star in your eyes
…It’s more than genetics
More than DNA, it’s more than your lessons
The center of my world; the core of my essence
Everything I am was yours to begin with
[Chorus]
