Текст песни One Lifetime (feat. Maskerade) - Maskerade , Kazie

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
