Lil JJ Reynolds - One Day At A Time Lyrics

Yeah, One day at a time
One day at a time

Life is a tick clock, 'ticking from seconds to minutes
No time for loners with depression to be happy while sinning
I spend a decade in destruction from pain and consequences
Feeling, guilty with expenses in this world that's expensive
Allergic to this bubble of aggression that's pent up in my brain
My biggest side effect, was going insane
Ripped up, my silent death plans to live life on the edge, as an spokesman
Through, music that controls my emotions from escalating, dangerously
Which, built up reasons for me, to turn to, what I never wanted to be
Til I had, no choice but to accept me, now (No more apologies)
To the ones, who won't accept me for me (Respectively)
Grinding, viciously thru struggles and refusing to quit
Turning to a man that's legit while squashing, what's irrelevant (Ugh)
Staying, true and keeping, fake-ness, behind
While building, faith inside my mind (One day at a time)

A tree that fills a man's embrace, grows from a seed link
A tower, 9 stories high, starts with one brick

And here's the most famous line out of a doubt
A journey of a thousand miles, begins with what?
One first step (One first step)

This 9 to 5, got me, feeling dead inside and broke
Provoking, odds, stacked against me, almost made me, lose hope
My empty, skull is full of question marks, now, where do I go?
In between, surviving and trying to find myself, as I flow on these empty pages
Life is hard but I'll go with the flow
Even, if I'm struggling to keep my soul, warm when it's cold
On down this road, on to my journey of inventing more sounds
Thru hating busters and critics, who mutes my style (Y'all feel me now?)
Brought up and raised on the east side from astray
Learned to respect, myself in a way that never drives me away
From what I love and what inspires me to swim through these waves
On top of the storm of this evil curse that tries to lay me in the grave (Ugh)
I gain more strength and build more heights, as I climb
Repairing, my heart to breathe more life, in this life of mine
My destiny is peace to leave the dark for the shine
While, building faith inside my mind (One day at a time)

Take one step
I don't even know about tomorrow (I never think about tomorrow)
All I know for sure, is that this won't be the day

I do it, one day at a time
That's how you overcome, anything (Called an addiction in your life)
You take it, you reconnect yourself to the source from which you came, which is a source of what?

Twisted memories, spinning up my thoughts in a knot
From every word on the sheet, adds a beat to my clock
Inside my heart that wouldn't stop, unless it wanted to vent
About the feelings, from it's money that it already, spent on decent closure
But society, would force an exchange on my brain
To accept the flaws of rejection and pain
As, I became a loner, way before I grew with an illness
Like it was simply a curse sign to grow up and feel it
But, no one witnessed, what I suffered with (Nor, was it fair)
But it was life in this reality, where no one cares
I dug, my share on only caring for myself to survive
I lost myself in this generation that stripped me from my pride
That came with it's lies (That's why I couldn't find, truth)
I couldn't breathe in this air, with a broken, parachute
But, no matter what I'm going through (I'll stay on my grind)
And keep the faith, inside my mind (One day at a time)

What am I doing here?
My body is breaking down
But the way that you finish the marathon, is not by saying (I'm going to run 26 miles)

You don't do that, especially (When you still got 5 or 6 to go)
You just say to yourself (Can I put my foot in front of the next one?)
Can I take, one step at a time? can I do it, one step at a time?
And before you know it, you've accomplished (Greatness)
