M.A.T. - One Life lyrics

[Verse 1: Matthew] I saw your face in the news It brought me back to the girl I once knew And then I wondered how you got here Riding in a car with methamphetamine So now you got a felony Crying in a cell and Destiny be telling me How you didn't finish school You see your son seldomly Then suddenly I'm afraid it's going to get worse Because you're going down a dark path baby and it hurts [Hook: Matthew & TreDay] She said you know how it is Chilling in the crib trying to get by So I get high I said that ain't how it is One life to live And you gotta get it right Before it's gone And before it's gone Before it's gone And before it's gone [TreDay] Handle bars LT's the dome promethazine Got him going nowhere but he in love with the lean It's like a bad player when you know he's wrong for the team You don't want to graduate to the title of feind Reputation long gone straight up out of your body Remember when you had them dreams of becoming somebody We all had em only difference is the ones that could grab em Reaching for the stars something that you couldn't have fathomed I ain't only talking bout them big dreams I'm talking bout them teachers and preachers that be doing big things If you love to do it and you got a pa**ion to get it Don't let it slip right through your fingers I bet you'll regret it Yeah I said it I can say it cause I've been through it all You be like man how many how many times can you fall And get right back up I sell the game and I ain't giving it up And anybody wanna listen I'ma tell you what's up It all changed when I burst right up out of them flames Put me right back in control Only one way to go It ain't how it is it definitely how it should go You only got one life to live I spit it straight from my soul now you know [Hook: Matthew & TreDay] How it is Chilling in the crib trying to get by So I get high I said that ain't how it is One life to live And you gotta get it right Before it's gone And before it's gone Before it's gone And before it's gone [Bridge: Matthew] No matter where you go You gotta get it before it's gone Cause I've been down and out But I kicked off the dust and I got back up I see a lot of y'all wanna talk about selling dope But not one time do I hear y'all talk about All the families that it's broke Like I know y'all know it ain't all glory So what about their story? huh And then y'all got the nerve to say y'all real Yeah Real fake Before it's gone She said I've been down I've been out so many times That I gave up But I said I've been there too I've been there too But I kicked off the dust And I got back up No matter where you go You gotta get it before it's gone
