One Day

I grew up in Battle Creek Cereal City cause it I guess it was cheap Learned to skip class during the first week Of sophomore year because I followed his lead And I woke up in the morning smelling factories and sugar Lovin' on my city knowin' well it ain't a looker Had my mom and dad so yeah I guess I was lucky Until the cancer took my dad I guess it was hungry When I was growin' up I always dreamt of bein' richer Not with money or fame But somethin' different And all I wanna do now is make him proud Cause the only time I see him's when I'm dreamin' Wow Thinking I could make it Not sure what to do But I knew I had to leave it So away I flew (And I knew I had to leave it so away I flew) Yeah I Swear I'll Get there I swear I'll get there one day Promise I'll Get there I'll show you From your grave I swear Found out an old friend lost his will Than lost his life And I'm shaken still We talked about a month ago He was happy then I guess it was a show Cause I remember all the conversations About our lives and how they kept changing But the Devil was callin' Shoutin' his name Nobody could save him He wasn't the same (Damn) And how does that sit When you're looking back at all the things you said or you did I know I wasn't always proud of shit I'll admit But now I'm finally growin' Cause I was a kid (Aye) Angry at my mom Angry at life Drinking all the time and blacking out every night Blaming everybody for my problems When only me and my music could really solve 'em Yeah I Swear I'll Get there I swear I'll get there one day Promise I'll Get there I'll show you From your grave I swear
