Lyrics

Yea yo
It all started with that one time
It all started with that one time
Let me tell you 'bout that one time
Yea
I was born a lover but I flipped into a sinner lately
That's the way it went I couldn't reconsider baby, crazy
Working out over and over on my lonely
No label or promoter no wonder I'm getting no exposure
Told the joker to hold up homie 'cause I'm the smoker, It's Tofer
Ready to bust up in it now so move over
Trying to toke I just woke up
And I don't know if it's better late now than never
But that ain't making shit better
Funny fate can be clever
Got a place inside of my heart confident we're staying together
And another I'm convinced is stained with wicked hatred forever
Don't make any mistakes I don't mess up
Got a full ass plate so I'm fed up
Including a steak it came with the shake and I'm running a race I can't let up
Pedal to the medal never settle for anything less than your absolute best
I try my hardest to have a fun time
With me through those tough times
Fighting on the front lines
It started yes it started with that one time
Yeah
Like that one time
It all started with that one time
Way back in the day
Let me tell you about that one time
And that is all it took it didn't need much
All I needed was that one time
And everything changed totally now
If I could go back to that one time
If only if only yeah yeah
Impeccable on the microphone when I write the song
Feeling right at home when I'm writing about my wrongs
The sticks and stones that I've thrown opportunities blown
All the things that shaped me that have them saying I've grown
My mother couldn't save me she left me hanging alone
My father couldn't break me he let me play on my own
Said go ahead and prove it
Come on boy do it
Only way forward is for you to go through it
Think you know everything well here's your chance
Hope you catch every dream well in advance
The real world is cold the world's in your hands
The choices you make will dictate your plans
I laced 'em and hit the pavement was wasted and living shameless
Ducking the whole fam couldn't fake that I was living aimless
Stuck in the fold man couldn't take the mental anguish
Tried picking up the pieces this disease it makes me anxious
But thank god I found my way and some sunshine
Cleared out the clouds and learned how to unwind
Here shouting now still I am unsigned
I made my dad proud finally one time
It all started with that one time
Way back in the day
Let me tell you about that one time
And that is all it took it didn't need much
All I needed was that one time
And everything changed totally now
If I could go back to that one time
If only if only yeah yeah
Yea yo
Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
