Day One
They say one day you here and the next day you gone
It was Written before dawn I treated the song like a psalm
The shit I’m on?
Love, Sex, Drugs
The shit on my plate?
Is more than enough
I don’t gotta act tough
Product of my environment and situation
It was just s’posed to be vacation
Yo, it was just s’posed to be vacation
I’m pacin and rarely am I patient
I wasted the day gettin wasted
While my homies was gettin wasted
Face it
I’m the type to crush on a girl for three damn years
And then make out with a slut just because she was here
And fuck shit up just because of my fears
Can’t see myself when I look in the mirror
And yet at the same time I see shit more clear
Funny how one day can do more than 18 years
Ace Beats run this shit like a track meet
Pack mad heat without havin to grab heat
Being present was the lesson
And I suppose it was a blessin
Sayin goodbye to adolescence
On this island I ain’t a menace
But s’pose anyone can be if pushed
But let’s not speak on that
Less shoves come to push
Now for a moment of shush
This here for Dante
Who had just figured out who he was
This shit here for Toby
Whenever we hung it was all love
This shit here for Tirzah
Cuz I’m sorry this had to happen
And this shit here for my Momma
Cuz it’s the last time that I’m rappin
Day one was for thinkin
From now on I’m bout that action
Said day one was for thinkin
Now on I’m bout that action
They say one day you here and the next day you gone
It was Written before dawn I treated the song like a psalm
The shit I’m on?
Love, Sex, Drugs
The shit on my plate?
Is more than enough
I don’t gotta act tough
Product of my environment and situation

Yo, it was just s’posed to be vacation
