Once In A Lifetime

It's a once in a lifetime chance I can't miss it
Gotta give it all that I got, you know I'm on a mission
Told 'em I was gon' make it and they was like "I dare you"
Came a long way from making songs in my grandma's spare room
Now I'm JVO affiliated feeling like I made it
'Member listening to Little Rascal when I was a baby
This a once in a lifetime chance, I ain't kidding
Once in a lifetime chance, I ain't missing
So I'm spending what I'm living, spitting what I be feeling
Tryna keep it all authentic, put my life in my written
So you can feel it, tryna make the most of what I was given
Got this talent so I'm tryna flip it into some more
And that's the goal, tryna touch the globe, stuck in the cold
Wanna help my family and save a couple of souls
I wanna help everybody, but not everybody gon' fold
At the same time, tryna grind, add a bunch of O's
To the checks for my folks, share my dough with the poor
Tryna cop me a home, but my credit is low
'Cause I'm only 18 but my mind real old
Tryna be a light living where the sirens go
My bros getting high and all my sisters getting drunk
Barely getting by, but the system still bump
Stuck up in the cycle cuddy, 'cause that's all that we know
So I'm sacrificing my life tryna reach all my bros
Who need the Holy Ghost instead of compensating with jokes
I'm out here slipping, but believe I'm gripping on with hope
Man, I'm tryna bring a change through the way that I'm living
Tryna bring a change through the things that I'm spitting
Only got one chance so you know I can't miss it
Only got one chance so you know I can't miss it
Can't miss it

Once in a lifetime chance, don't miss it
Once in a lifetime, every day that we living
It's a once in a lifetime chance, don't miss it
Once in a lifetime, every day that we living
Once in a lifetime chance, don't miss it
Once in a lifetime, every day that we living

Making moves in this vapor, this life that I'm living
'Cause you here for a minute, the next day you missing
I know that you hear me, I'm hoping you listening
This a once in a lifetime chance so don't miss it
Every second, every minute, the clock don't stop ticking
Like sands of the hourglass, so are the days of our lives
Tryna tell you in my rhyme, tryna live
Every day something like it's my last
But it's kinda hard to move forward when you stuck in the past
Ain't making money like I want, wanna flip me some grass
Give me some stacks, Lil Woadie, 'cause this life is a flash
You know YOLO, wanna do my thing but that's a no-no
Flip a few G's to my bro-bro, tryna cop Polo
Riding dirty out here dodging po-po
Do it by myself but that's a low blow
'Cause I know I'm destined for more than some cash or some guap
But I'm tryna cop me a whip, tryna cop me a watch
I need to lean on God, I'm living like a paradox
We gotta make up our mind because it ain't much time
We serving Him or ourselves, it's a real thin line
This life is but a millisecond in eternity
So I gotta live mine right, 'cause I ain't Berner G
Made some mistakes, Lil' cuddy, but I'm learning things
Hoping you know where you going, tryna touch it through poems
But people ain't tryna hear it, some people say it's annoying
Change your heart in a couple minutes 'cause my flow is anointed
But haters still gon' hate 'cause they out they mind
People still talking down but they outta line
It ain't too late, change your ways 'fore you outta time
It ain't too late, change your ways 'fore you outta time
Don't run outta time

Once in a lifetime, every day that we living
Once in a lifetime chance, don't miss it
Once in a lifetime, every day that we living
Once in a lifetime chance, don't miss it
Once in a lifetime, every day that we living
Once in a lifetime chance, don't miss it
Once in a lifetime, every day that we living

It's like a once in a lifetime chance, don't miss it
Scared to step out if they claiming we with it
We tripping, hold it down for what you representing
Hard thing to do, stay true, try to make a move
When everybody around me looking at me like a fool
But it's cool 'cause I gotta do what I gotta do
Put my hand in something, get it popping, telling the truth
Straight on the news, get some people working in groups
I know faith without works is dead
I'm tryna heal the blind, tryna grow out some legs
I know I got the rising spirit inside
But every time I move to use it, I stay quiet
I gotta have the Word of God up in my ingredients
We need to hear it to hear it 'til we obedient
I gotta walk it out so I ain't just singing it
I'm meaning this, this really what the meaning is
We all know we was made for so much more
So I'm speaking truth, feeling, knocking at your door
A metaphor for everything I'm wrecking towards
But you gon' do what you want, we can't even front
So I'm just doing my job, wrecking these beats and stuff
Being a witness, gotta work it out like it's fitness
It's a once in a lifetime chance, don't miss it
Once in a lifetime, every day that we living
Talking the talk while we ain't walking the walk
It's easier said than done but I'm counting the cost
I'm blood-bought by the Boss so I got to floss
But it's like every day I wake up I'm constantly slipping
I ain't quitting 'cause all these lives need winning
So I'm stepping out in faith when my flesh ain't with it
It's a once in a lifetime chance, don't miss it
Don't miss it
