MaJiK MC - One Time lyrics

[Chorus] x 2 One time for my parents Two times so they hear it Three times for the love For the love, for the love [Verse 1] I was like eight…maybe nine The whole time…I was crying On the ride back from the tourney, feeling unworthy Second to his gold, in the seat, I was buried Deep…nearly drowned in my tears And my biggest fear is still the same after all these years After all the beers, all the weed, all the d** You still got love for a son that only f**s sh** up …All the money you could've saved I promise to repay one day, I swear, it won't go to waste And the pain when you found me in the courtroom …Walking through those doors, you Were just glad I was alive…But your eyes Had me feeling like I died and I hate that I lied Tell you they weren't mine…Mom, I don't deserve you But I yearn to make you proud so from here on out… [Chorus]x2 [Verse 2] And to the man…who taught me everything I know The greatest person in the world…you helped me grow From a seed, I know you see a lot of you inside of me And that means, this apple didn't fall that far from the tree I'ma be…Like father like son And not once have you doubted about the kind of man that I'd become You can trust I'ma earn my inheritance You gave me err'thing, now I'm gonna better it And fit your shoes, walk a little farther then you Teach my kids the same ‘cause that's what father should do Keep it moving, improving, not to be confused with Trying prove sh**…just be you, it's Life…A little hard but work harder Lend a hand when you can, have a heart but serve smarter Like you said...I know you wanna help But first you gotta help yourself before anybody else [Chorus] x 2 [Verse 3] Now I know it may seem like I'm stubborn, I don't listen …I just love being different In love with adrenaline, the rush that you get when You're running the distance, becoming the difference …Be the change you wanna see Like how the both of you had came from overseas Overcame the diseases and pain to be free So how can you expect anything less but the same out of me? When you've given me the spirit of a fighter The calm of a tiger, no fear like fire My father, the lighter, my momma, the pride My heart and my guide, the star in your eyes …It's more than genetics More than DNA, it's more than your lessons The center of my world; the core of my essence Everything I am was yours to begin with [Chorus]
