This is a deep song about all of the troubles of this life somehow working themselves out, despite all the haters, struggles, and downfalls of one man on his journey to his destiny. Off my new album in progress called 'A HAMILTON & HOPE'.

Lyrics
(Produced By: Jeff Clark aka JC - The Truth) ONE DAY – By: JC “The Truth” VERSE 1: Billy Joel once said Only the good die young Does it mean I’ll go to heaven If I cock this gun Place the barrel to my temple Blow chunks and fall Cause nobody wants to listen Only these four walls. Man, tell me what the hell A grown man must do To make a living for himself Put his dreams on the shelf Shit, I’d rather live poor No help, no wealth And embrace my talents Than disrespect myself. I’d rather live as bum Getting paid with scraps Pumping gas in New Jersey While increasing my stats Hey I barely passed Math But I know how to add Heart, hope, and attitude Equals all of my tracks. Add six more years That’s the pain I fear I give hope to the people Through the rhymes I write Trying to use time right Trying to grind my spite Everytime I touch the mic It’s like I’m fighting for life. HOOK: One day I’m gonna make some cream One day I’ma get up off the streets One day I’ma look back and cheese One day I’ll be able to breathe REPEAT VERSE 2: I can picture the family members That gave me hope Plus friends who still believed in me When I was broke Sitting on a white yacht Called JC’s boat In the New York Harbor Keeping all of em’ close. Doing shows every night I can picture the scene Everybody on their feet Lyrics passing their teeth And the beat’s got hold of them They’re living my dream Through me, my own life It reflects what they see. Tears fall from my eyes Then they run down my cheek Hit my lips and then I lick The salty flavor of peace When it rains, it’s the same Angels feeding the earth Cause in order to grow You must release what hurts. One day I’ll look back And understand how I did it Why I did it, Where I did it What the hell is the difference? I believe it’s the journey That makes a person a person And the day I get the curtains I’ll die for a purpose. HOOK REPEAT VERSE 3: One day I’m gonna suck a breath Up into my chest And let, it clarify All the built up stress. And let, it minimize All the kinks in my neck From the lies and deceit By the trees that made me I’m a seed And I’m still spreading my root I swear to God I’m like a cat on a hot tin roof. I keep moving my feet I adjust to the heat I consume the temperature And spit it onto my beat. They say dreaming is for kids Fine call me a child But the day I finally make it Don’t approach me and smile JC Damn man it’s been a while I saw you on the VMA’s With Eminem and Dre Plus the radio play Up in PA, and NJ Hook an old friend up What do you say? I say you best step back With that fake ass trash I thought I told you one day I’ma pave my path. HOOK REPEAT END
