"One Day" lyrics

One day you're here, and then you're gone
One day you're here, baby, and then you're gone
But label the minutes and put it in again
And you better go check my manuscript
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Label the minutes and put it in again
And you'd better go check the manuscript
Hey, hey, hey, hey

It's been about twelve years since I seen my nigga
When we buried him in the ground, damn Wally, I miss you
We wrote that song about you, dawg; it was Bone's biggest hit
We went and broke them Beatles records, you can say you the shit
I seen your mama last week, and we laughed and cried
Reminiscing how you lived, then you suddenly died
But she's strong, and we strong, you living through Bone
So much drama's goin' on, I had to write you this song

Them tears dropping on my paper for my nigga in Heaven
I know you in a better place, to be your friend was a blessing
Every day's a different lesson, so I take it to stride
Still, the mission is the money, so I make it and ride
You feel the drums and the strings and the lyrics that we bring
Two bad niggas, untouchable team, fuck you pay me, that's the thing
Bad to the motherfucking bone, dog, step up in the Bone yard
In the paint we go hard, for life my bro, dawg

One day you're here, and then you're gone
One day you're here, baby, and then you're gone
But label the minutes and put it in again
And you better go check my manuscript
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Label the minutes and put it in again
And you'd better go check the manuscript
Hey, hey, hey, hey

I got an envelope of paper in my pocket, we grindin'
Turn the fifties into hundreds, baby, that's perfect timin'
I'm shining in the black Ac', windows tinted
Four women in the car with me, is this pimpin'?
Baby, evil always lurk in the dark, Wu Park
We bustin' down the chambers and the Wu-Tang art
A chitty bang bang, take a trip down Memo Lane
Picture me running, picture me coming, we all one hundred

Feel the fucking drummer drummin', we live and direct
And come connect with the posses of soldiers and resurrect
Selective of my word use, no obtruse
Obstruction of the justice that we did in our youth
See, it's a new day, new way, see me in the afterlife
Holler at me, love me, don't condemn me, that's the price
It's a new day, new way, see me in the afterlife
Holler at me, love me, don't condemn me, that's the price

One day you're here, and then you're gone
One day you're here, baby, and then you're gone
But label the minutes and put it in again
And you better go check my manuscript
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Label the minutes and put it in again
And you'd better go check the manuscript
Hey, hey, hey, hey

One day you're here, and then you're gone
One day you're here, baby, and then you're gone
But label the minutes and put it in again
And you better go check my manuscript
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Label the minutes and put it in again
And you'd better go check the manuscript
Hey, hey, hey, hey
