history - one day lyrics
[verse 1: jimmy nice]
tryna make some history
picture me up in the stands where they’re waving hands
little me’d look at me now like ‘you’ve made it, man’
it’s funny, in front of strangers i feel at home
this here is the only thing that i really own
really though, ny bound, i’m on the red eye
mind playin’ tricks on the kid like jedi
will i reach these heights, be everything i said i would?
i touch down like the engine that could
i’m in the mecca, the hood, this ain’t my neck of the woods
but i’m a man with a dream that’s as grand as the scheme
cue the scene, gutter full of steam
and big brother be telling me where he was as a teen
and each word remains in my brain’s hall of fame
see you and i we’re kinda like the same
we’ll probably always ride the back car of the first train
’cause the heroes in our lives know us by our first names’
that’s game, no… that’s james
[chorus: solo & joyride]
best laid plans
i’ma be the man some day, one day
best laid plans
i’ma be the man some day, one day
best laid plans
i’ma be the man some day, one day
best laid plans
i’ma be the man some day, one day
[verse 2: nick lupi]
tryna make some history
consider these cornerstones of a legacy
delivery of everything i said i’d be
on the benches, one day they gon’ mention me
i spread fire like a westerly
see i never believed in destiny
always put free will over what’s meant to be
i say it like it was said to me
one day it’ll make sense, well i guess we’ll see (best believe)
fans want that-new sh-t, fam want a new nick
me, i want both, i stand here tryna prove it
let me help you understand how i do this
i give the signal with my hand and they lose it
these days, everybody follow the blueprint
but if it was easy everybody would do it
see i burned all my books on the last day of school
but the ones at the top never stop being students
we keep it movin’, homie
[chorus (condensed): solo & joyride]
best laid plans
i’ma be the man some day, one day
best laid plans
i’ma be the man some day
[verse 3: kai]
tryna make some history
but i got my father’s sins in me
forgive me though, it all happened so quickly
looking in the mirror and i’m tipsy
and suddenly it’s all clear to me
as a mixed race kid, mixed up kid
my face looking more like yours than it ever did
i catch myself doing things i swore i never would
like i never treat my girl too good, well there it is
oh, and i found your negatives
looking at them in the sun, i think it’s crazy
that you up and quit photography to raise me
your only son, and you about to blow up, man those fl1cks are amazing
and i see it in myself sometimes
when i’m low and its all going to h-ll
but i know i owe it to you, so i’m never giving up
i don’t know a lot, but i know this much
[chorus: solo & joyride]
best laid plans
i’ma be the man some day, one day
best laid plans
i’ma be the man some day, one day
best laid plans
i’ma be the man some day, one day
best laid plans
i’ma be the man some day, one day
[verse 4: solo]
tryna make some history
picture me ringing tills, still in my teens
a lost kid till that hip-hop intervened
seeing my idol recite on the mic
all up in the front row, best night of my life
afterwards, i greet him with a pound of the fist
probably said a thousand words that amounted to this:
‘thank you for the music, it gave me my blueprint’
and he just smiled and said, “man, that’s cool sh-t”
now picture this, flip the switch, role reversal
i’m in his shoes now, it’s come full circle
i got man, nah—i got fan
saying he understand what i jotted in my journal
he said, ‘thanks for the sage advice’
that what i wrote in that rain song saved his life
i mean godd-mn that’s crazy right? but i’ve seen behind the scenes
and found out the price of dreams
see who’s the man to you, ain’t the same who’s the man to me
means there ain’t no man to be
except your own, so i plan to be
ain’t no plan achieved, it just is how had it to be
i’m singing
[chorus (extended): solo & joyride]
best laid plans
i’ma be the man some day, one day
best laid plans
i’ma be the man some day, one day
best laid plans
i’ma be the man some day, one day
best laid plans
i’ma be the man some day, one day
best laid plans
i’ma be the man some day, one day
best laid plans
i’ma be the man some day, one day
best laid plans
i’ma be the man some day, one day
best laid plans
i’ma be the man some day, one day
