One Life Lyrics by Uhuru

Free Prophecy, Vol. 1

2016

Every day I wake up I wonder
I wonder why, why am I here?
Why is this life moving so fast?
Why can’t I, can’t I control this?
Well I guess my grandma was right
She said "if you’re scared, go to church."
(Go to church son.)
Well I ain’t (I ain’t scared)
Mom needs a reason to my God’s blessing
But I ain’t stressing. It's probably ‘cause I grew up a fuckin’ screw up like my nigga Wallace, you feel me?
Taking my time to analyze this life they don’t teach in school
So yea, that’s why she mad. My regular fuckups leading to the passing of the truancy seed to my seed. Therefore I cease to be a viceman and pumuja njaa ya vice 'cause in the world all you get is one life, uh
You got one life, one life, one life
You got one life, one life, one life
You got one life, one life, one life
You got one life to live, give or receive
You got one life, one life, one life
You got one life, one life, one life
You got one life, one life, one life
You got one life to live, give or receive
I got one life to live like I’m playing Nintendo
And though it’s not a game, boy we wonder what we live for
Just to chase these coins, these peaches, these shrooms
Getting hassled by these preachers screaming’ fuck that noise
Yo since we was boys, we supersonic get these rings
Chasin’ tail, still in control no matter how fast we spinnin’
That’s why this money we gettin’ gives us invincible feelings
'Cause it only takes a hundred just to get another life
At 25, about to have their first child, fuck a marriage, though I care but I can’t live this 9-5, so I’m on my grind, this money is on my mind. I got a lot of expectations, why I ride or die
For my niggas, we on it. Damn right we fuckin’ run it
Gon step up to the homie leave ya holier than donuts
If you’re scared, go to church. I threw that in my verse
Kickin’ truth until it hurts, count the niggas in my hearse
You got one life, one life, one life
You got one life, one life, one life
You got one life, one life, one life
You got one life to live, give or receive
You got one life, one life, one life
You got one life, one life, one life
You got one life, one life, one life
You got one life to live, give or receive
Every day i’m schemin'
Tryna get my weight up
I wanna put 5 karats in my baby girls ear
But you know dear Lord…
I just wanna live
Stay true to the hook, for sure you gotta give to receive
If you ain’t about that, I suggest rewind this track
