One Of One lyrics - Chris Webby

I been around that block so many times

There ain't nothing I ain't seen

Tough breaks, hard knocks, still I pull myself back up

I string bootstrap seams

Every war I've ever fought in, every scar I've got

Is just another cut to clean

They can rap like, act like, try to fill my shoes

But they just ain't me, no they not like me

Yeah, listen I am one of one, uh

Baddest up under the sun

Quick on the trigger, a son of a gun

Ready to fight till the battle is done

Taking the hard road as it comes

Like a narco on the run

Keeping it low, probe as it goes

The only things on low were the funds

But I been swindled and victim to thievery

From the same people who said they believed in me

But this the motherfucking rap game

The snakes are just part of the scenery

I went from barely breaking evenly

To making it right where I need to be

Competing against what I've already done

'Cause ain't nobody left to compete with me

I been betrayed by plenty of rats

The proof is the knife scars on my back

I wear 'em with pride like one of my tats

And a reminder to where I been at

'Cause I been down flat, I been flat broke

Tryna bounce back when I'm past hope

But I pushed through and I still do

Till my soundtrack's on its last note

I been around that block so many times

There ain't nothing I ain't seen

Tough breaks, hard knocks, still I pull myself back up

I string bootstrap seams

Every war I've ever fought in, every scar I've got

Is just another cut to clean

They can rap like, act like, try to fill my shoes

But they just ain't me, no they not like me

Earned me my place on the roster

Studied and played this shit proper

Taking the highs and the lows as it goes

To the point that it's straining my chakras

Stayed true in a game of impostors

Sipping some Jamo and vodka

Seeing this new generation unfold

As I'm sitting back, feeling like Dre in The Watcher

Witness 'em hustle for clout

Acting all arrogant, running they mouth

Saying that they putting on for a culture

Whose history they don't know nothing about

And maybe I'm just getting older and grumpy

Or stuck in my ways and stuck in my house

And reaching a point where I oughta say fuck it

I'm done with this, pack it all up and be out

Don't mean to sound bitter, I know that I'm hating

But I survived through so many generations

I don't give a fuck about who's in rotation

Or where shit is headed, I know where the game been

And I'll still be standing while most of 'em fading

From memory, let it be known I'll be chasing

A legacy while they just chasing they tails

And I will prevail, I guess what I'm saying is

I been around that block so many times

There ain't nothing I ain't seen

Tough breaks, hard knocks, still I pull myself back up

I string bootstrap seams

Every war I've ever fought in, every scar I've got

Is just another cut to clean

They can rap like, act like, try to fill my shoes

But they just ain't me, no they not like me
