One Day

[Verse 1]
The money callin' but I ain't saving the contact
Looking for Jesus, I'm tryin' to stay in contact
I'm on my knees like I lost one of my contacts
Prayin' to God my life don't end on a contract
You don't know nothin' bout my pain
You don't know nothin' bout my life
You don't know nothin' bout my struggle
Ma workin' back to back doubles
Meanwhile I can't stay out of trouble
It's hard to learn life lessons when you livin' in a bubble
Now I gotta worry bout people thinkin I'm most other young men
Ever since I put this mic in my hand, might as well have put a knife in my hand
But while I'm at it, I might as well cut to the chase
I don't think a lot of ya'll wanna see me in first place
To be honest I wasn't even going for first place in the first place
Just wanted to come up on the plate like I'm running to first base
I know my mama waited for me to run home
Sayin' that I hit a home run with a label
A lot of people countin' on me
I'm just tryna make a way
Christian rapper rapping christian, I don't care about a label
I been puttin' the work in
But I only know five things for certain

[Chorus]
Uh, I was born for the storm
I was made for the pain
And the lane might switch but the drive stay the same
I know things goin' pay off, one day
Believe that
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Things goin'
Things goin' pay off now
Things goin' pay off now
Things goin' pay off now
One day things going pay off

[Verse 2]
My boy keep saying one day it'll all make sense
God makin' 30k up out your 30 cents
Like he did the bread and the fish
I was fishing for a deal
Young and only caught krill
Cuz the hand I got dealt only made the bay melt
Now my king is my ace [?]
Even though I got jack, I was tryin' to be a joker
Now my queen off the map
I was ashamed of my hand so I put it in my lap
But eventually game over now they askin' where the cards at
Tried to be lazy but that just don't fit me like all of my suits
I shoulda took off by now due to all this red bull and uice
I'm loose off the juice
My spirit bomb when I die like I'm Goku
Why not work hard, I'm almost immortal
I just look weird when I try to be normal
Work ethic was rotten because I was spoiled
Now the kid rap like aluminum foil
You don't like the music, that's cool it ain't for you

[Chorus]
I was born for the storm
I was made for the pain
And the lane might switch but the drive stay the same

[Bridge]
I sat up in my bed, plottin' on what defeated me, defeated feated me
I sat up in my bed, prayin' to God it would never ever happen again, no

[Verse 3]
All my life I've been on the seesaw
Jacob and Esau
My friends couldn't bring they self to see what I saw
Kendrick Lamar, when the only good kid in the mad city n got greedy shots ringin' from the city talkin' doo, doo, doo, doo
Party stopin' people running through the woo, woo, woo, woo
I was only 9 when one of my homies tried to get me to sell work but I had to work to sell
I learned from my daddy that that meant dying or going to jail, bail money wasn't optional
Any money past bills was impossible
But neither was me believing in God
So what is it to the God meant that making up an obstacle
Uh, this for my little cousin Pee Wee
Uh, this for my big cousin Nesee
Anybody tryna check me and stop me from jumpin' forward
Just remember that you ain't in control of the chess board I'ma
