Yeah
Once in a Lifetime
We only get to live this life once
So go after what you want
Throughout all the heartbreak
The pain, the hurt
I still wouldn't change my life for yours
It only makes the victory
That much sweeter

Don't take nothing for granted
Our time on Earth has a limit
Live as much as you can
Before it finishes
Okinawa shores in Japan
I wanna witness it
Santorini y'all
I got plans to go and visit
Yo I'd rather have love
Than never loved
Enough to suffer for what comes
Self stay guided by what's above
I don't know what's beyond
But I ain't never been wrong
When following that call
That's been drawing my heart
When everything in this world
Feels like it's falling apart
I pour myself into this art
I know that everything in life
Happens for a reason
learning that when pain strikes
It's only for a season
I done seen the worst
Now thriving in a life
I deemed cursed
Never as bad as it seems
You just gotta see it first
Shining bright
And this light has been my guide
Finally seeing myself
Once in a lifetime

Once in a lifetime
I find myself along
For the ride
(Once in a lifetime)
Once in a lifetime
Hold on tight
To what is mine

This is my human experience
Speaking to the me inside of you
Where your spirit is
That's how you know I'm true
Cause it's your soul
That be hearing this
This music is the window
Y'all just peering in
Touching your mind
And disappear again
Where do I go?
One day I'll fill you in
Right now I'm here
Within vibrations
Rhythms that be
Capturing the scenes
Milestones
17 years old with some dreams
Introverted
This my way of blowing off steam
Through the stages
Cause of the therapy
On these pages
At times was lost, aimless
Through rhyming
It all made sense
Me and this rap shit stay adjacent
The only thing that I fear
Is being complacent
Or not having the will
To get up and chase it
Many valleys on the way
But the peaks..
Amazing
Look at the skyline
One day it's all mine
Once in a lifetime
Yeah

Once in a lifetime
I rise
To see my name in the sky
(once in a lifetime)
Once in a lifetime
Feel the light
Of my future shining bright

I'm thankful for the bonds
I've built along the way
In this line of work
Real connections
Don't come everyday
I'm thankful for the bonds
That sadly had to break
Blessings in the lessons
God removing em
Just to make way
Progression to all of y'all
As I begin again and win again
Maybe I was baggage too
A win-win for them
We just growing
In our separate ways
I know for me
I just see better days
In front of me
Instead of memories of the past
When the present is a treasure
I just build it to last
Foundation
So when it crumbles
I can stand on it, rebuild on it
Spent the last couple
Pondering if I still want it
But it's in me
See the fire still burns
Desires to change the world
Everything is still earned
As this Earth turns
The pen still glides
Once in a lifetime

Once in a lifetime
See my dreams
Unfold in front of me
(Once in a lifetime)
Once in a lifetime
You will see
That what will be, will be
(Once in a lifetime)

Step into your chance
(step in to it)
Make those bigger plans
(dream big)
Once in a lifetime
That's just what I see yeah
(once in a lifetime)
Hold onto your goals
(hold on)
Keep em on their toes
(keep going)
Once in a lifetime
That's what I'm here for baby

Once in a lifetime
That's what I'm here for
Yeah
Once in a lifetime
