One Day

One Day - B.o.B

I know one day

I won't have to wait in line

I know one day

I'mma get those keys

To that new ride

I know one day

I'll be fine

And I know one day

I'll get mine

And I know one day,

Hell it might be Monday

I remember thinking man

I need a decent ride

And I would have to ask my momma

For the keys to drive

With my brother riding

In an old Cutlass

Black money

Whole roof busted,

Well who knows

Maybe one day

We'll have a little more

We'll finally shop somewhere else

Besides the corner store,

My little sister say

She gotta have a pair of Dior's

But right now

They'll probably stop us

Before we hit the door

My Uncle say

That's how it is where we come from

And if it weren't for bad luck,

We wouldn't have none

Hard to tell the good days

From the bad ones

If I could catch a shooting star

Then I would grab one

I'd grab one for real

I know one day

I won't have to wait in line

I know one day

I'mma get those keys

To that new ride

I know one day

I'll be fine

And I know one day

I'll get mine

And I know one day,

Hell it might be Monday

I remember feelin' trapped

And no I couldn't get out

And when they laid my momma

Of no it just didn't amount

I still remember how she looked

When she walked into the house

But still she tried her best to show

What was Christmas about

And if we wanted hot water

We had to microwave it

And everyday the power cut off

But we tolerate it

The thoughts of all the beats

I lost because I forgot to save 'em

I'm screaming at me in the mirror like

"I gotta make it!"

My teacher tryin' to get through to me

Because of my behaviour

I said "I got big dreams

And I gotta chase 'em"

I never cared a damn thing

About a college major

I only had one need,

That was a lot of paper

But see I never had a thing

But a lot of prayers

After school, open mic night,

Rockin' stages

It all started from a demo, to a limo

From a limo, to a Lambo

And all of this came up outta Decatur

Cos

I know one day

I won't have to wait in line

I know one day

I'mma get those keys

To that new ride

I know one day

I'll be fine

And I know one day

I'll get mine

And I know one day,

Hell it might be Monday

I used to dream about these days

And the thing that I'd do

Had to get a new life,

Cos the old just won't do

I used to dream shades of grey,

Now the sky's shinin' blue

And everyday it feels like

There's a way I can't lose

Cos I knew one day,

I wouldn't have to wait in line

I knew one day,

I would get keys to that new ride

I knew one day I'd be fine

And I knew one day

I'd get mine

And I knew one day,

And not just Monday
