One Day


Got no intent of benefiting the people that's around me

Don't got paper to match me and nobody wants me

Puerto Rican spick that don't speak Spanish, she's out the business

And her doesn't have anything to say when haters try to playa hate

'Cause mama knows the truth

Ain't trying to instigate

But sticking to myself does mean I'm not willing to cooporate

Forget ya intake 

Tweeting I need to hydrate

I know what I need to do, my growth rate ain't in ya lane

I can't mind my business, if you're minding it too

Yeah my head is big, but there ain't no space for you boo

It's a paradise lost and it may be messing with my views

My testimony ain't spoken with gratitude just yet

So if I feel as if I'm a threat 

Come to my steps in 30 years

I'll pull you up a chair

And we can talk about the years when we were "friends"

We can compare our lives to see which one is better

I'll let you leave out with a nestled designer sweater

I'll act like I ain't realize you looked bitter

Turn back to my mirror and tell myself "I feel like a winner"

It's all in due time

My rise and grinds will one day be my lullabies

I'll only confide to the intel of my finish line

Maybe these rhymes are the passion of my past life

And it's an addition to the vision that's been striving to consume my time

As for now, I'll work for a better me

Get some help to handle this messed up personality

Inevitablly, I'll shine so bright, won't even care about whoever can't see

I'll carry my own with help only from the family

I'll see the pride in their eyes when I shake that hand and gain a college degree

Hold my head when my passion flourishing beautifully

I'll plant a harvest that'll be invested by my father

And he'll be the one to assure that all my plans prosper

My aim for longeivity will get me where I need to be

And my struggles of right now will one day be the reasons behind my victories.
