"The One" lyrics
Hello
What thing?
Ahh, shit!
Ahh, so sorry, man, I f–, completely forgot about that, you know
[Brazen:]
My lifestyle's changing, I can't see it changing
I know you sit at home waiting for me
To show my face, but I'm okay
Progress, I've made, now I'm smooth sailing
But I need more hours in the day
If I ain't out working, I'm entertaining
I guess it's the life I chose
But these wind-y roads are draining
But I can't complain
I'm on my way
To live the life
I've been tryna make
Ever since I can remember
Time ain't in my agenda
So forgive me if
It feels I'm miles away
[Scratchy:]
I'm sorry if it looks like
I ain't made time for you
At the moment, you know
I got a lot of stuff to do
Been here, there and everywhere
Might look like I don't care but I do
It's true; it's the truth
[Manga:]
I can't make everyone around me happy
But I do try
I ain't seen my goddaughter in months
'Cause I don't have time
I try to explain
But they just can't understand why
They think I forgot about them
While I'm out there living the life
Relationships tested
Friendships strained
They think that I love them less
But I tell them that ain't the case
But when they ring my 0795
At 4 AM
And I still say I'm not free
Is this what it's come to? Tryna be the one
[Scratchy:]
I'm sorry if it looks like
I ain't made time for you
At the moment, you know
I got a lot of stuff to do
Been here, there and everywhere
Might look like I don't care but I do
It's true; it's the truth
[J2K:]
It's like six in the morning, my wake-up call is pinging
My eyes all stinging
I switch on the snooze, wish for the minutes
Put my face under the pillow, until the sun lights up the room
I've gotta move
I've got a bunch of emails from Danny so I eye up the tunes
I've got a bag of missed calls and texts-es
I let 'em all know that I'll get back soon
Knowing that I never get round to it, it's true
I can't lie, it's the truth
'Cah when the phone rings and money's on the line
I won't lie 'cah this here brother's on the move
Call me anything
Call me selfish, I've heard everything
I've heard everything, I tell 'em like this
If I don't go hard, who benefits?
[Scratchy:]
I'm sorry if it looks like
I ain't made time for you
At the moment, you know
I got a lot of stuff to do
Been here, there and everywhere
Might look like I don't care but I do
It's true; it's the truth
[Breeze:]
Crack of dawn and the birds still chirping
Nobody on road but a stray cat lurking
Reversing down the drive, she's banging on the window
Taking it out on the curtain
I'm on the grind, no time to play
That's what I call putting the work in
It's all for her in a funny old way
I'm not around so I know she's hurting
Still tryna find a way
But I can't find the time of day
And when I do get a chance
I ain't got time to stay
She knows it'll be okay
'Cause I'm working on working it out
Ain't on the frontline no more
But I might still circle about
[Scratchy:]
I'm sorry if it looks like
I ain't made time for you
At the moment, you know
I got a lot of stuff to do
Been here, there and everywhere
Might look like I don't care but I do
It's true; it's the truth
[Flowdan:]
Yo, everybody's got a problem these days
So I'm gonna get on my bike and go
Maybe they'll see the final fantasy
There's only one me, I live life on the flows
Terrible, crazy, razor sharp
Everybody's tryna keep an eye on the cashflow
But I'm high velocity, there ain't no stopping me
And right about now it's all systems go
I'm part of the system though
Feel it in my bones and my system knows
It's me, my bike and these concrete roads
I've got three baby mothers so forget about phone
Forget about everything you heard of the Flow
Never fassed or grassed up on his own negro
It's me that they're calling when their kingdom's falling
'Cause they know I'm the one
[Scratchy:]
I'm sorry if it looks like
I ain't made time for you
At the moment, you know
I got a lot of stuff to do
Been here, there and everywhere
Might look like I don't care but I do
It's true; it's the truth
What thing?
Ahh, shit!
Ahh, so sorry, man, I f–, completely forgot about that, you know
