One Thing at a Time - Devvon Terrell

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
