Day One - History lyrics

[Verse 1: Jimmy Nice] Tryna make some history Picture me up in the stands ready waving hands Little me, look at me now like you made it man It's funny, in front of strangers I feel at home This is the only thing that I really know Really though NY bound, I'm on the red-eye Mind playing tricks on a kid, like Jedi Will I reach these heights be everything I said I would? I touch down like "The Engine That Could" I'm in the neck of the hoods This ain't my neck of the woods But I'm a man with a dream that's as grand as the scheme Cue the scene, gutter full of steam When big brother been telling me when he was just a teen and Each word remains in my brain's hall of fame See you and I, we're kinda like the same We have probably always ride the back car and the first train Cuz the heroes in our lives always buy our first names as games [Hook: Joyride & Solo] Best laid plans, I'mma be the man someday, one day Best laid plans, I'mma be the man someday, one day Best laid plans, I'mma be the man someday, one day Best laid plans, I'mma be the man someday, one day [Verse 2: Nick Lupi] Tryna make some history Consider these cornerstones of a legacy Delivery of everything I said I'd be On the benches, one day they gonna mention me I spread fire like a westerly See I never believed in destiny Always put free will over what was meant to be I say it like it was said to me One day it'll make sense, well I'll guess we'll see Best believe Fans want that new sh**, fam want a new Nick Me? I want both, I stand here trying to prove it Let me help you understand how I do this I give the signal with my hands and they lose it These days everybody follow the blueprint But, if it were easy everybody would do it See I burnt all my books on the last day of school But the ones at the top never stopped being students We keep it movin' homie [Hook: Joyride & Solo] Best laid plans, I'mma be the man someday, one day Best laid plans, I'mma be the man someday, one day [Verse 3: Kai] Tryna make some history But I got my father's sins in me Forgive me though it all happened so quickly Looking in the mirror and I'm tipsy And suddenly it's all clear to me As a mixed race kid, mixed up kid My face looking more like yours than it ever did I catch myself doing things I swore I never would Like I would never treat my girl too good But there it is Oh and I found your negatives Lookin' at them in the sun, I think its crazy That you had to quit photography to raise me Your only son and you're bout to blow up Man those flicks were amazing And I see it in myself Sometimes when I'm low and it's all going to hell But I know I owe it all to you So I'm never giving up, I don't know a lot but I know this much [Hook: Joyride & Solo] Best laid plans, I'mma be the man someday, one day Best laid plans, I'mma be the man someday, one day Best laid plans, I'mma be the man someday, one day Best laid plans, I'mma be the man someday, one day [Verse 4: Solo] Tryna make some history Picture me ringing tills, still in my teens A lost kid 'til that hip-hop intervened Seeing my idol recite on the mic All up in the front row best night of my life Afterwards I greet him with a pound of the fist Probably said a thousand words that amounted to this: "Thank you for the music you gave me my blueprint" And he just smiled and said, "man that's cool sh**" Now picture this, flip the switch, role reversal I'm in his shoes now it's come full circle I've got a man, nah I got a fan saying He understand what I jotted in my journal He said, "thanks for the sage advice" Cos what I wrote in that rain song saved his life I mean god damn that's crazy right? See who's the man to you Ain't the same who's the man to me Means there ain't no man to be Except your own, so I plan to be, ain't no plan achieved It just is how it had to be I'm singing [Hook: Joyride & Solo] Best laid plans, I'mma be the man someday, one day Best laid plans, I'mma be the man someday, one day Best laid plans, I'mma be the man someday, one day Best laid plans, I'mma be the man someday, one day Best laid plans, I'mma be the man someday, one day Best laid plans, I'mma be the man someday, one day Best laid plans, I'mma be the man someday, one day Best laid plans, I'mma be the man someday, one day
