The One Lyrics
[Hook: Imori]
I know that I'll be the one;
No doubting
And this is for all the ones around me who lowkey doubted;
Remember all the nights I screamed; I cried; I shouted?;
Trapped inside this hateful city but I’m gone step up out it
You know that I'll be the one;
(The one)
Ima be something special, something that you want
You know that I'll be the one;
(The one)
Ima be something special, something that you want
[Verse 1: JoJo Ali]
Single parent household while my poppa in prison;
Surrounded by crack abusers doing nothin but chillin;
Nothing but stealing;
From mama, who was making a living;
For everybody, she would hit Russell Stover’s and get to grittin
Guess that's where I get it
Even pop had hustled tough;
Made a Mili off of drugs, until the porkies locked me up
Lost my father figure young;
Couldn't give my pop a hug
At 16 he died; mama cried when they boxed em up
My mommy said;
Thank you for making my son
Choice, keep yo head up; pick up that pen or a gun
Nigga you yo father son, get the dope, serve em lunch
It's really crazy;
That's the same fuckin year that I flunked
Shit
Been through some real chaotic shit up in my life man
No doubt these tribulations have molded who I am
We inner city living, knowing that we any time man
But music gone expand a nigga lifespan
Watch
[Hook: Imori]
I know that I'll be the one;
No doubting
And this is for all the ones around me who lowkey doubted;
Remember all the nights I screamed; I cried; I shouted?;
Trapped inside this hateful city but I'm gone step up out it
You know that I'll be the one;
(The one)
Ima be something special, something that you want
You know that I’ll be the one;
(The one)
Ima be something special, something that you want
[Verse 2: JoJo Ali]
Look
Called me a one trick pony;
Even called me a gimmick;
Said I wasn’t even that good and ain't deserve the attention;
Got too much recognition;
Don’t see how people listen;
Got to the point where they was talkin on my name to these women
Crazy nowadays, I see these niggas be spittin;
They wanna impress me;
They be like “JoJo, aye bro can you listen?”
“Aye bro what you think?”
“Aye you think we can get in;
The studio, yo equipment”
But you was just sneak dissing
But I just play em off
Don't give em any time -A
Million dollar mindset, but don't pay em any mind - A
Dollar is doing too much;
Can't even spare a dime, huh
And you can tell a dime, that I can’t really spare the time cause
Remember y'all would write me off?;
Now Y'all wanna ride along;
Cause I got a future rapping and writing songs;
My whole damn friend group changed when I stopped playing ball, but
Shit changed;
Now I'm too good to hang with y'all
*breakdown*
[Hook: Imori]
I know that I'll be the one;
No doubting
And this is for all the ones around me who lowkey doubted;
Remember all the nights I screamed; I cried; I shouted?;
Trapped inside this hateful city but I'm gone step up out it
You know that I'll be the one;
(The one)
Ima be something special, something that you want
You know that I'll be the one;
(The one)
Ima be something special, something that you want
