One Day Lyrics by Zi

2012

[Verse 1: Zi]
What the hell am I supposed to be
A king in my mind but I ain't shit socially
And am I wrong for trying to become what I hope to be
Feeling like the future's holding on to whatever it holds for me
A piece of my heart in every piece of poetry
I rap about the struggle and I ain't trying to quit
Until they understand what being at the bottom feels
And all the shit we gotta go through for a dollar bill
You see the system turned workers into hostages
I got tired of screaming fuck the world now I'm trying to get on top of it
'Cause I don't want my kids to wear the shoes that I wore
The closer I ever got to the top was climbing those five floors
It hurts to lose hard to choose what to live and die for
When the devil offers everything you've been praying to God for

[Chorus: Zi]
I wanna get paid like right away
Hop on a plane and just fly away
You ain't got to worry 'cause I got you babe
I gave it all I got now it's got to pay
I wanna get paid like right away
Hop on a plane and just fly away
You ain't got to worry 'cause I got you babe
I gave it all I got now it's got to pay

[Verse 2: Zi]
I promise we can make it if we stick together
You see I've seen a bum give money to a beggar
Didn't have a camera on me and I regret it
'Cause that right here would've taught the world a lesson
To all the families torn apart over financial issues
To those we haven't heard crying for help and now we miss you
Don't let your problems get bigger than yourself 'cause it will kill you
And suicide is a point no one should ever get to
I said I promise we can make it if we stick together
You see I've seen a bum give money to a beggar
Proof that you do not need to have a lot to give
Just 'cause you feel like it no religion and no politics
Lack of compassion's what the problem is
And all that other bullshit is just a consequence
Yeah all that other bullshit is just a consequence

[Chorus: Zi]
I wanna get paid like right away
Hop on a plane and just fly away
You ain't got to worry 'cause I got you babe
I gave it all I got now it's got to pay
I wanna get paid like right away
Hop on a plane and just fly away
You ain't got to worry 'cause I got you babe
I gave it all I got now it's got to pay

[Bridge: Zi]
You see it's all about that one day
We keep pushing hoping that one day
We keep praying thinking that one day
We spend our whole life chasing that one day
You see it's all about that one day
We keep pushing hoping that one day
We keep praying thinking that one day
We spend our whole life chasing that one day
One day one day one day that day
When I can get paid like right away
And finally visit my mother for the holidays
One day one day one day that day
When I can get paid like right away
And finally visit my mother for the holidays

[Chorus: Zi]
I wanna get paid like right away
Hop on a plane and just fly away
You ain't got to worry 'cause I got you babe
I gave it all I got now it's got to pay
I wanna get paid like right away
Hop on a plane and just fly away
You ain't got to worry 'cause I got you babe
Gave it all I got now it's got to pay
