Jimmy B - One Whiskey lyrics

[Verse 1] April 8th 1991, my momma had her first son That's where the story starts, way before the stars Way before the lights, the glitz and glamour Way before the cameras Bay Mills boulevard apartment 815 I had sick dreams that ricochets would hit me No pops, my queen raised a king Listening to Usher was our favorite thing Holder heads outside b**hes with they mouth wide open Ice cream trucks and fiends smoking Contradiction, our overall jumpers had the pocket missing But we kicked it we was styling Unaware of the violence we grew up in Used to think a 2 wheel bike was stunting Cook outs and beat downs on ya birthday Drinking water from the hose when ya thirsty Be home before the street lights stay outta the street life Cause you don't want to know what the streets like Seen a lot at a young age this is just the front page The stories getting written The code on the streets get money & f** the women That's how we grew up that's all we knew of A young king with a vision and a dream But everything ain't what it seems [Hook] Got my feet on the ground with my head to the sky Put my hands together and I pray to God why Ima spread my wings & fly Watch me spread my wings & fly And I got no clue why they hating on me Ever since day 1 I been the same OG Ima spread my wings & fly Watch me spread my wings & fly [Verse 2] Fell in love when I was 17, I wonder if she remember me Her name was Fevy G Learned a lot but it burned in the end We tried to be friends but that never happened 2 months later my grandma was collapsing And I was standing there you ever seen a man in fear With tears in my eyes, didn't talk much of late I thought she had years on her side But god had a different plan that's something you can't fight I still have nightmares about that night Everyday trips to see you in the hospital Although it's logical it never seemed possible I spoke about you on R.N.S That was before you were laid to rest, so now I got to vent I remember you kept food on the table whenever I ran outta cents Taught me bout respect, taught me bout family Always optimistic bout the man I'd be Made a promise, and to be honest I'll never break it Your life I can't replace it and that hurts me Never talk about my problems, I just drown ‘em in a bottle We all got demons And the day you stopped breathing told you I got a dream I believe in And now I'll achieve it [Hook x2]
