Ethan Young - One Time Lyrics

He feels the wrath of attack when he's getting pats on the back
For putting his home on the map yet they don't clap when he raps
In fact they used to tell'em he was good but wished he was a singer
So he'd ball up his fists and count his friends on his fingers
And when he had the mic they'd say remember us when you're famous
But when he was lonely at night, they would forget what his name was
And naturally he felt like they had tied a weight to his ankles
And watched his lungs fill with water but yet he still remained thankful
Because these people were piranhas sinking teeth in his legs
He had a heart made out of stone when he was up on the stage
He's looking out to the crowd, he saw the fans that were there
He put the mic to his lips and their hands went up in the air, he's singing
One time and we'll do this one time
And we'll tell'em one time
And it's going down I'm for sho
One time and you know he's gonna shine
And the people lookin at him
Like they never heard him rhyme before
He's got his pen and his paper, he tells his girl see you later
He's got the beat up in his speakers pissing off all his neighbors
He knows he's writing a hit and he knows his flow is legit
And he knows he gotta give'm something they will never forget
One time and we'll do this one time
And we'll tell'em one time
And it's going down I'm for sho
One time and you know he's gonna shine
And the people lookin at him
Like they never heard him rhyme before
One time and we'll do this one time
And we'll tell'em one time
And it's going down I'm for sho
One time and you know he's gonna shine
And the people lookin at him
He spends his time all alone inside his room in his home
He built a studio there and he's been ignoring his phone
He leaves the girlies on read, they tryna mess with his head
He'd rather go get the bread then having sex in his bed
He's not just looking for fame this boy is making a change
He's tryna start a revolution when they're screaming his name
He's looking down at his wrist watch he got from a thrift shop
He's running out of time because he's tryna save hip hop
And the people be looking at him like he's funny
He's whiter than snow and he raps like a mummy
He's changing the culture of drugs and the money
And he doesn't care if he looks like a dummy
He's looking at people like they are so crazy
Why would they doubt when his flow is amazing
Nevertheless he would not let it phase him
People don't know him and they are mistaken
He's been busy concocting a formula in his noggin
He knows he's gotta be locked in and there is no other option
He's been awaiting this moment, he knows tonight is the night
They fall in love with the feeling they get when he's on the mic
One time and we'll do this one time
And we'll tell'em one time
And it's going down I'm for sho
One time and you know he's gonna shine
And the people lookin at him
Like they never heard him rhyme before
One time and we'll do this one time
And we'll tell'em one time
And it's going down I'm for sho
One time and you know he's gonna shine
And the people lookin at him
Like they never heard him rhyme before
