One Life Lyrics by M.A.T. (USA)

Something’s Gotta Give

2016

[Verse 1: Matthew]
I saw your face in the news
It brought me back to the girl I once knew
And then I wondered how you got here
Riding in a car with methamphetamine
So now you got a felony
Crying in a cell and Destiny be telling me
How you didn't finish school
You see your son seldomly
Then suddenly I'm afraid it's going to get worse
Because you're going down a dark path baby and it hurts
[Hook: Matthew & TreDay]
She said you know how it is
Chilling in the crib trying to get by
So I get high
I said that ain't how it is
One life to live
And you gotta get it right
Before it's gone
And before it's gone
Before it's gone
And before it's gone
[TreDay]
Handle bars LT's the dome promethazine
Got him going nowhere but he in love with the lean
It's like a bad player when you know he's wrong for the team
You don't want to graduate to the title of feind
Reputation long gone straight up out of your body
Remember when you had them dreams of becoming somebody We all had em only difference is the ones that could grab em
Reaching for the stars something that you couldn't have fathomed
I ain't only talking bout them big dreams
I'm talking bout them teachers and preachers that be doing big things
If you love to do it and you got a passion to get it
Don't let it slip right through your fingers I bet you'll regret it Yeah I said it I can say it cause I've been through it all
You be like man how many how many times can you fall
And get right back up
I sell the game and I ain't giving it up
And anybody wanna listen I'ma tell you what's up
It all changed when I burst right up out of them flames
Put me right back in control
Only one way to go
It ain't how it is it definitely how it should go
You only got one life to live
I spit it straight from my soul now you know
[Hook: Matthew & TreDay]
How it is
Chilling in the crib trying to get by
So I get high
I said that ain't how it is
One life to live
And you gotta get it right
Before it's gone
And before it's gone
Before it's gone
And before it's gone
[Bridge: Matthew]
No matter where you go
You gotta get it before it's gone
Cause I've been down and out
But I kicked off the dust and I got back up
I see a lot of y'all wanna talk about selling dope
But not one time do I hear y'all talk about
All the families that it's broke
Like I know y'all know it ain't all glory
So what about their story? huh
And then y'all got the nerve to say y'all real
Yeah
Real fake
Before it's gone
She said I've been down
I've been out so many times
That I gave up
But I said I've been there too
I've been there too
But I kicked off the dust
And I got back up
No matter where you go
You gotta get it before it's gone
