lyrics

One Day

I'mma make it one day
Take your damn time ’til you find your own way
Been minute, sky’s is the limit
This industry a game and you know that I'mma win it
Running in the rain
Hands in the ground
Renegade radical, lost and I'm found
Born to make waves, beacon in a storm
Try to find my self among the masks that I've worn
Magic in the moment, mobilize the masses
Music that I'm making ain't mainstream it’s massive
Grasses ain't greener on the other side
Life is a journey I'm just along for the ride
Im taking it all
Ready for the summer when the snow won't fall
One day, ready for change
Nothing but 11 letters written in my name.
Carved into stone, i'mma give me hell
Written into history, the stories that I tell


One day don’t justify, we must live this life
Forever is a long way
One day don’t translate, we must meditate
This moment is all we’ve got

Growing up on these streets
Making music for free
You can reach for the sky momma told me
Growing up in these streets
Making music for free
Gotta live for your dream momma showed me


From the ground up, so grassroots
Fam in the streets, dedicate it to you
To the homies making beats in your basement, and chasing
A little recognition try'nna build a foundation
This goes out to you,
To the kids running wild without they shoes
I refuse, to follow the rules
Following the leader, I’m following the truth
Young rebel, writing my own rhythm
Rise from the rubble the cities that we live in
Who am I kidding, the times that we living in
Give me legitimate reason to remain vigilant
Life's a game, play it like an instrument
Lemme see your hands in the sky if you feeling it
Listen to my voice, the words that I speak
I’m in the streets for the change i seek
Practice what I preach, it’s only the beginning
Make it one day, I’mma keep world spinning


One day don’t justify, we must live this life
Forever is a long way
One day don’t translate, we must meditate
This moment is all we’ve got

Growing up on these streets
Making music for free
You can reach for the sky momma told me
Growing up in these streets
Making music for free
Gotta live for your dream momma showed me

Growing up on these streets
Making music for free
You can reach for the sky momma told me
Growing up in these streets
Making music for free
Gotta live for your dream momma showed me


X for the crossroads that I face
I for within, the beginning of all change
Written for U, my people, the reason that I rap
Represent your voice on every single track
H higher learning, T for all the teachers
Teaching me to tell a story get up off the bleachers
EZ my life has never Been
Suffering motivates the stroke of my pen
CA the California waves
My Latino family from Diego to the bay
Viva la raza, la revolución
La pelea de la gente es lo que me inspiro
T for Mexico Tenochtitlan
Jungla de obsidiana regresará
L for the miracle of life I've been given
Never find a kid this young and so driven
