For Once In My Life Lyrics

It's been three years and I still foresee tears

Been humbled with pre-fears and more fails

And I thought through it all, that Wonder would prevail

But while I'm writing this down, I see the end of my tale

Did I even make a dent in the industry or touch a couple of lives?

Only thing my music brought was a couple of fives

From cash flow to dap ups and low streams

Back to reality with depression and no dreams

For once in my life I had a game plan

Life came and took that, it said change plan

Lockdown hit, depression made me a changed man

Graduated too but diplomas can't make a made man

Risked it all for five seconds of fame

But I only got two the other three never came

And now its such a shame with only myself to blame

I'm making songs dedicated to my name

Beginning to wonder when I'll make the fix

Tried and tried again but it never tends to stick

For once in my life

I gotta get it together

For once in my life

I swear I'll do better

For once in my life

I'ma do the right thing

For once in my life

Since I'm always all talk I'll switch it up and try to just sing

I guess the old man was right all along

I should make music my hobby not make my life a song

But all else just feels wrong, it ain't me

But all else puts food on the table, guaranteed

Since I turned 18 it's just been hell on earth

With little tidbits of heaven that give the struggle worth

Deep down I know that I'm seeing exactly what I earned

So I thank God for the glimpse and say the lesson's learned

See me see wahala oh, with myself I don vex

Putting myself down when I should puff chest

Self esteem weak cause I no dey flex

Act like the worst when I am the best

If a failures all I see in the mirror

That's all I'll ever be

So I gotta walk that talk, not talk that talk for me

Say sabi I be a hometown hero

Beginning to wonder when I'll make the fix

Tried and tried again but it never tends to stick

For once in my life

I gotta get it together

For once in my life

I swear I'll do better

For once in my life

I'ma do the right thing

For once in my life

Since I'm always all talk I'll switch it up and try to just sing

For once in my life

I gotta get it together

For once in my life

I swear I'll do better

For once in my life

I'ma do the right thing

For once in my life

Since I'm always all talk I'll switch it up and try to just sing
