We got one love

We got one day

One time

One time

[Verse 1]

Out from under this rock that you stone me with

It don't mean shit

Whatever stone you skip another home is hit

To close to call it something I love

It's something i'm not quite sure of

I learned to deal and keep the ace inside my sleeve and shrug my shoulders

Playing dumb making it fun the game's already won

I'm just trying to hold onto what's left before it's done

I've got no God to take it out on, i'm out on my own

No watch or cellphone, my hoodies reek of weed smoke and not cologne

I'm looking like a skeleton, i've shed so many skins

And now I rock t-shirts from places i've never been

This one way's a dead end, i'm to far to turn back the hands of time that pantomime

I've learned to adapt

Jacks thinking outside the box now

With all these rocks i've found

There in my pockets

To keep me grounded and outta the clouds from pipe dreamers who just get smoked like John Lenin and Dr. King

Chased the tails and dream coats and half way I stopped to think

And stopped believing

Hidden reasons to keep breathing then get out

I passed a day without saying hi

Just keep my head down

It's the same sob story over coffee starts to bore me

Life's not short, you're too busy talking about whats wrong with me

Or the system, or the world, or your parents I keep my distance

Taking out my days one by one like they was victims

And i'll never win this battle, but i'll always dress for the war

And i'll throw down my weapon whenever I question my cause

[hook]

I take, one more step and one more breath

I take, one more step and one more breath

I take, one more step and one more breath

I take, one more, one more

[Verse 2]

Better late than never set to wake I wait for one

These days are getting old maybe because the night is young

I bite my tongue and breath this dead air exhale to cold stares

A walkman and headphones, forget home

Where do I go from here

Yellow brick roads are blocked

Becoming walls we stick up

And in between's the dreams we go tired of and get rid off

But i'm a man of few words

And plenty of change from penny's saved

My two cents break your dollars

I'll pass the buck anyway

We spend money and waste time

Expecting something back

But what I saved for wishing wells

Slipped through cracks and fell through sewer caps

It's nothing new, i've gotten used to it

And choose to laugh

It's either too good to be true

With setbacks, it'll never last

I settle for less than what it's worth, you always sell for more

So fear my cold hands that never rub lamps or sell doors

I've felt loss but I find my way around

Used to show my hands now I keep the cards I play with face down

A grey cloud nine follows behind my footsteps

What you see is as good as it gets

I keep this hood over my head

Working for rain checks and paying dues and debts

And a who slept

Count my blessings in disguise but can't recognized them yet but

Subtle change I run in place and come to face

Met my love at first sight and lost her with the double take

I keep my head above the waist

My soul is hard to sell

Most difficult work as an artist is to make something out of yourself

[Hook]

I take, one more step and one more breath

I take, one more step and one more breath

I take, one more step and one more breath

I take, I take, one day at a time
