One Lifetime (feat. Maskerade)

24 hours in a day 365 days in a year One lifetime How you spend it? Sacrificing Thanksgiving to double up on this chicken As long as my people straight in the end, I'm not tripping These niggas is out here tricking I'm focused on one vision Making it to the top of the mountain, that's the mission When you get it by yourself, the accomplishment feels different Your sense of pride rises and niggas can't tell you shit And anything that's in your way is an obstacle you diminish Stay focused there's a lot of bullshit from start to finish And I know you feel like quitting that's common I was down bad, broke and on my ass with Top Ramen as my only meal Every night a nigga soul would feel pain Back against the ropes, Evander Holyfield Shit all my real niggas know the deal When you got a goal to achieve you got to tell these hoes to chill Because you'll double back more vicious But you only got one life to live so go and get it My nigga Got to believe there's a better way For me and my seed to have a better day But we only get one lifetime But we only get one lifetime, yeah Money come, money go away But that real love we can't throw away Cause we only get one lifetime Cause we only get one lifetime, yeah And failure reveals the truth A thin line you either fold or you pursue With time if you stick to the plan it comes true You got to learn from your losses don't let them become you Niggas hating everyday, just give them the one-two Life's a war, learn to master the art like Sun Tzu And through the trials you always got to believe Seen niggas that weren't shit with hoop go to the league Seen niggas that ain't have shit to do generate cheese They made blueprints and goals they could achieve Real niggas up and getting it, the rest is for the weak I'm always up planning ahead I barely sleep Cause my momma ain't rich and my pops locked down Until they situation's fixed then I don't deserve the crown Younger brothers that look up to me I got to hold it down Shit I can't live comfortably if they ain't safe and sound In this lifetime Got to believe there's a better way For me and my seed to have a better day But we only get one lifetime But we only get one lifetime, yeah Money come, money go away But that real love we can't throw away Cause we only get one lifetime Cause we only get one lifetime, yeah Got to believe there's a better way For me and my seed to have a better day But we only get one lifetime But we only get one lifetime, yeah Money come, money go away But that real love we can't throw away Cause we only get one lifetime Cause we only get one lifetime One lifetime Once in a lifetime
