B.o.B - One Day lyrics

I know one day, I won't have to wait in line
I know one day
I'ma get those keys to that new ride
I know one day I'll be fine
And I know one day I'll get mine
And I know one day hell it might be Monday

I remember thinkin': "Man
I need a decent ride"
And I won't have to ask my
Momma for the keys to drive
With my brother ridin' in an old Cutlass
Black and Mild lit, whole roof busted
Well who knows
Maybe one day we'll have a little more
We'll finally shop somewhere else
Besides the corner store
My little sister say she gotta
Have a pair of Dior's
But right now they'll probably stop us
'fore we hit the door
My Uncle says: "That's how it
Is where we come from"
And if it weren't for bad luck
We wouldn't have none
Hard to tell the good days from the bad ones
If I could catch a shooting
Star then I'd grab one
I'd grab one, for real

I know one day, I won't have to wait in line
I know one day
I'ma get those keys to that new ride
I know one day I'll be fine
And I know one day I'll get mine
And I know one day hell it might be Monday

I remember feelin' trapped and no
I couldn't get out
And when they laid my momma off
No it just didn't amount
I still remember how she looked when
She walked into the house
But still she tried her best to
Show me what was Christmas about
And if we wanted hot water
We had to microwave it
And everyday the power'd cut off
But we'd tolerate it
The thoughts of all the beats I lost
Because I forgot to save 'em
I'm screaming at me in the mirror
Like: "I gotta make it!"
My teacher's tryna get through to
Me 'cause of my behavior
I said: "I got big dreams
And I gotta chase 'em"
I never cared a damn thing
'bout a college major
I only had one need, that was a lot of paper
But see
I never had a thing but a lotta prayers
After school, open mic night, rockin' stages
It all started from a demo, to a limo
From a limo, to a Lambo
And all of this came up out of Decatur
'Cause one day

I know one day, I won't have to wait in line
I know one day
I'ma get those keys to that new ride
I know one day I'll be fine
And I know one day I'll get mine
And I know one day hell it might be Monday

One day, one day, one day, one day
One day, one day, one day, one day

I used to dream about these days
And the things that I'd do
I had to get a new life
'cause the old just won't do
I used to dream shades of grey
Now the sky's shining blue
And everyday it feels like
There's no way I can lose

'Cause, I knew one day
I wouldn't have to wait in line
I knew one day
I would get those keys to that new ride
I knew one day I'd be fine
And I knew one day I'd get mine
Yeah I knew one day and not just Monday
