Sittin' with my homies tryna find myself Tell all of my homies I don't need no help
Rollin' with my homies tryna find my way Smokin' on some trees I got from around the
way Filled with all the memories of yesterday
Wonder how I'm happy after all the pain I've been lookin' inside, lookin' for vibes

Callin' up rise, hopin' I rise Scopin' the prize one day, it be mine
One day at a time, one day I'll shine Lookin' inside, lookin' for vibes
Callin' up rise, hopin' I rise Scopin' the prize one day, it be mine
One day at a time, one day I'll shine

They all find the greatest of treasure Hatin' they measure, but find no comparin
I feel like I'm teachin' you all, I'm callin' to y'all
My message to God, look in my eyes and tell me the truth
Show me the way, this is the life that I made and how can I change

Gotta introduce it again, this is what gave me the name
Reflated the pain, created a baby that came from a lady that carried a boy like a flame
Get rid of the shame, get rid of the lanes, leavin' a stain in the game
Paintin' a picture of money and fame, so who is the villain to blame

Is it a kid from the hood who ain't nothin' or maybe his cousin or maybe his brother
Could be his sister's father's mother, could be the system that made him a victim
I wonder who picks him, boy, this is my mission, I am the difference
I'ma stay scheming on makin' a million, no matter what they're against me

I'm ballin' too hard on you niggas, but man, you never can bench me
What do you mean? I am not ridin' a Benz, me and the four
I said, let's go for the win, chances already been slimmed
We was alone in the gym, we is not fuckin' with them

God's not fuckin' with us, I'm God that we trust
Lookin' inside, lookin' for vibes
Callin' up rise, hopin' I rise Scopin' the prize one day, it be mine
One day at a time, one day I'll shine

Lookin' inside, lookin' for vibes
Callin' up rise, hopin' I rise Scopin' the prize one day, it be mine
One day at a time, one day I'll shine
One day at a time, open my eyes

Put on my J's, one foot at a time
So keepin' in mind, I'm gonna shine
One day at a time, open my eyes
Put on my J's, one foot at a time

Keepin' in mind, I'm gonna shine
Changin' these lives one way at a time
Can't play with the times, start workin' for dimes
They follow the dot on the line

Never can make up your mind
Lime and wick in their minds
With silver for tons and souls for gold
Better gifted than broke
