One Life.... One chance homie What you gonna do? Verse: One life to live one time to shine I'ma grind til this world is mine Me, myself, and I against the design of time With a mind full of lines that I turned to rhymes Lyrical or poetic which best defines A mastermind way before he's even reached his prime Hit the scene on July 20, 79' Come to find mama's broke I'm already behind, Cleva The cheddar go-getter, never slow stepper Type n---a move better whenever I'm under pressure (yes sir) Got more n---as avoiding me than their bill collectors Cause simple sh** that I spit is k**ing their best efforts To be the top MC with a hit record My sh**'s better cause I bullsh** never I spit whether You like it or not I write it than drop Consider it props when you get to riding my jock But it's more than fame seeking that's keep these tracks beating Cleva without music is life without breathing Any lyric I quote is a lyric I wrote Drop the sh** like a** crack of fat black folk I'm no joke I'ma blow up and leave smoke For every hater who got his mouth open to choke And k** hopes of you fading a n---a this dope Many say sh** but can't take sh** when it's spoke See there's....... Chorus: One life to live one time to shine I'ma grind til this world is mine Me, myself, and I against the design of time Any moment is your chance to die read the signs One life to live one time to shine I'ma grind til this world is mine Me, myself, and I against the design of time Any moment is my chance to go for mine Verse: I'm tryin' to come up like vomit and drop the bomb
To the rhythm of ba** and drums whenever mic's in palm And spotlights are on best believe I'ma steal it Ain't no sing along song what I spit you goin' feel it I don't rap for hoes but I suppose I attract with flows Cause many willing to subtract their clothes When my rap unloads their reactions show Like they're willing to do anything imaginable I remember never getting called back From b**hes I used to wish that I could see fall flat on backs Frontin' like the cat is all that They wouldn't even unlatch the bra strap Now they're quickly giving digits and a road map Willing to work their neck, back and p**y crack No time for that, tryin' to stack, my mind is packed Like fat sacks with ways to get my sh** on the map Now if this here bumps to y'all then react But if it don't too bad b**h learn to adapt Shut your trap and shake a** until it clap Work it til you sweat your fly perm to naps Give it up for these hypnotic melodic-style tracks Vibrating from the west side of the map through rap If I take it over ain't no givin' it back f** with mine and you'll see more combat than Iraq There's..... Chorus: One life to live one time to shine I'ma grind til this world is mine Me, myself, and I against the design of time Any moment is your chance to die read the signs One life to live one time to shine I'ma grind til this world is mine Me, myself, and I against the design of time Any moment is my chance to go for mine (x3) © 2004. © 2014 Lightbourne Album: The Game of Life (Re-released) Artist: Rob "Cleva" Lightbourne
