[Intro]
Uh, uh, uh, uh, everybody get
If it only come around one time, this is it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
Everybody gets
A window, don't blow it like some Indo
Got a foot in the door, then go and kick it in, bro
Truest shit I ever spoke
If I hadn't gone through with it you'd never now
That I was nice with the tunes that I had afloat
Least they can write it on my tomb that I had a go
Was another afternoon for an average Joe
Probably listenin' to somеthing from Atlanta, though
A little bit before my phonе had a camera, though
Alcatel One Touch, heard a buzz and a text from my man comes up
"Yo, there's this dude Nick you should meet
Bruv, he makes beats, you rap, why you keepin' it a secret?
Played him that one thing that we did
He said that you should link up and he means it
He just did the first single off that Unique shit
If you haven't heard then you need to go and peep it, the shit's mean"
Man, wish I was doin' this at fifteen
Sixteen, shit, even eighteen
Just turned twenty, feel like I'm playin' catch-up
Just startin' out, still tryna get the raps up
As far as songs to spit, I didn't have stuff
As far as confidence, don't think I had much
But an opp' like this might never come back, cuz
I texted back and said, "That's us"; this is it
[Chorus]
If it only come around one time
This is it
If you really wanna go the whole nine
This is it
Something worth pickin' up the phone line to call home
Tell 'em you'll be late
Tell mum, "Go and save me a plate, 'cause this is it"
Let's get it on, right now, swear to God
This is it right here, better get involved
Let's get it on, right now, swear to God
This is it right here, better get involved
[Verse 2]
Me and the misses in a one-bedroom flat
Nothing there but a double bed and a new Mac
Livin' on our own 'cause the world says to do that
Once you are a grown-up, doesn't change the fact I that
Didn't have no dough, cuz, so the pressure goes up
Every month, hopin' that I don't get the phone cut off
Meanwhile, she just goes to work like a soldier
Puttin' all the rent on her shoulders, that's love
That's trust, that's us
Sharing one casa, every weekday's a mad rush
From nine to five, I be tryna write mad stuff
Before I gotta hit the road and go pick her up
Before the neighbour gets home and starts kickin' up
About the noise, still feel like I ain't found a voice
Feel like I ain't found an outlet
Might just dropped this album for free, I'm 'bout to put it out next
This is it
[Chorus]
If it only come around one time
This is it
If you really wanna go the whole nine
This is it
Something worth pickin' up the phone line to call home
Tell 'em you'll be late
Tell mum, "Go and save me a plate, 'cause this is it"
Let's get it on, right now, swear to God
This is it right here, better get involved
Let's get it on, right now, swear to God
This is it right here, better get involved
[Verse 3]
Late 2013 things are hummin', dropped
"Runnin'", now we're hundred miles and runnin'
Damn it feels good to make somethin' out of nothin'
But the knockout punch is the one you don't see comin'
Thinkin' back I get a knot in my stomach
When my sis told me that our dad might not wake up from it
It's not like I didn't know he would have to go
Somehow you still feel it'll never happen though
'Cause he been fightin' that since I was in primary
You get immune to seein' him hooked to an IV
Makin' visits up to the ward so we could talk
Over hospital noise, things beepin' and buzzin' off
That's somethin' you don't want nothin' of
Hell of a thing for someone to suffer from
The ironic part of it all is, it's because of those
Times that I got to know him better than I ever did
Just realized I ain't been the same ever since
Guess it took a bigger toll than I said it did
Been tryna get it in, wasn't nothin' comin' out
Label on my back tellin' me the time's runnin' out
But I don't do nothin' for the sake of it
Want it done right, then you gonna have to wait a bit
Still hear my dad sayin' this
Wish that I could show ya, time to let him know the wait is over
This is it
[Chorus (Condensed)]
If it only come around one time
This is it
If you really wanna go the whole nine
This is it
Something worth pickin' up the phone line to call home
Tell 'em you'll be late
Tell mum, "Go and save me a plate, 'cause this is it"
