One Day Lyrics

One day I'll get over this anguish that's been lingering

One day I'll learn to live life instead of tinkering

One day I'll accept the fact you're no longer with me

When that day comes, I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me

This ain't another rap song this is something different

These are my confessions the musical equivalent

One day I pray to see your pic without crying

One day when I say I'm at peace I won't be lying

One day I'll forgive myself for not putting our differences

Aside instead of letting pride interfere creating distance

One day I'll muster up the courage of my convictions

And visit your gravesite without backing out like a chicken

One day I hope to do better than when you saw me last

And exercise all these demons from my fucking past

One day when I think of you it won't be thoughts of sadness

As I look up to the sky like Sounds of Blackness

But today ain't the day homie

Today ain't the day

I said today ain't that day homie

Today ain't the day

But maybe one day

One day I'll stop being consumed with childhood rage

Scribbling angerly about my life over this page

One day I'll come to terms with the fact you didn't love me

Cause I felt the hatred behind every hit when you punched me

One day when I think of you it won't be thoughts of violence

I don't view you as a matriarch you're more of a tyrant

One day I'll forget how you tried to poison my mother

Or how you stole from my father and turned us against each other

One day I'll forgive you for saying I wasn't family

Driving my mother's mental health to the brink of insanity

One day I can try moving on

Leaving the past in the past after I finish this song

Maybe one day I can get over the way that you crushed me and called me ugly

Mocked my dark skin and said no one could ever love me

Maybe one day I could be the bigger man and still love you

Instead of ripping your picture, screaming fuck you

But today ain't the day bitch

Today ain't the day

I said today ain't that day bitch

Today ain't that day

But maybe one day

One day I can rap without trying to impress the masses

One day I'll be able to free myself from these shackles

One day I can spit without trying to think of a metaphor

The sky's my limit and I'm blazing through like a meteor

Ugh, I fucking did it again

Maybe one day I'll take more of a risk with the pen

Perhaps one day I'll view criticism from these critics as nothing more

Then a helping hand pushing me to places, I've never been before

One day maybe I won't care for being number one

Mama said just hold on tight and your day will come

One day I can let go of the thought of being overlooked

For rappers who don't pack the right flavoring cause they're undercooked

One day I'll be confident with every word I'll ever say

Until that day I'm practicing in the mirror like Issa Rae

And one day I'll be content with my position

Until then capturing every ear is my mission

Well, today is the day nigga

Today is the day

I said today is the day nigga

Today is the day
