One Thing at a Time

You think this shit is easy When really it's the opposite, yeah Some people want to be me They don't know the half of it I can only do one thing at a time Don't have much time to know ourselves And who we want to be Ain't no rush, but don't know much We just want to be free Constantly we look around and say "that could be me" We all know that things take time But that don't help us see Everybody fighting to get it Why the richest people in the world always lonely and wicked I know so many people at Harvard that don't want to be there Other people in the hood they're trying to get out of there Everybody got their own struggle Don't worry 'bout the others, they gon' hate you they gon' love you I don't want to be nobody else We keep things to ourselves So many times I wish I was a knife I know I'm not perfect I try to tell them all the time I can only do one thing at a time You want a Porsche, Maybach Baby girl want love, she laid back Want to stunt on your ex, payback You trying to get up out the streets but you in max Trying to keep the kid from crying, spoiled brat You just trying to be a graduate, throw your hat You just trying to be an advocate, white or black You just really trying to live and I get that Never thinking that Everybody fighting to get it Why the richest people in the world always lonely and wicked I know so many people at Harvard that don't want to be there Other people in the hood they're trying to get out of there Everybody got their own struggle Don't worry 'bout the others, they gon' hate you they gon' love you I don't want to be nobody else We keep things to ourselves So many times I wish I was a knife I know I'm not perfect I try to tell them all the time I can only do one thing at a time
