Day ones v1

Intro

Yeah, yeah

Uh, yeah

Thinking 'bout it

Day ones, you know what I'm saying?

Real ones

Let me tell you something

Verse 1

Back when we was young, man, I was hungry for it all

She was with me in the basement when I barely had a call

No clout, no coat, just the vision and the grind

She was holding down my energy while I was losing mine

Fast forward to the fame, yeah, the narrative switched up

Now I'm looking at her different, got my eyes up on the cup

She still ride or die for me, but I started playing games

Got my phone on silent when she calling out my name, yeah

See, that's the thing about a day one that you taking for a joke

You don't know what you had 'til that girl is gone, and you broke

I was toxic, I ain't gon' lie, I was out here moving reckless

Left her crying in the crib while I was chasing all the extra shit

Chorus

Day ones, yeah, that's what I'm on

When you got nothing, they still hold on

Day ones don't come around like that

Now I'm reminiscing on the facts

Yeah, yeah, ooh (yeah)

Reminiscing on the facts

Day ones, yeah

Verse 2

Yo, I'm scrolling through my phone, got a thousand conversations

But the one that meant something got erased from all my patience

She was asking for my time, but I gave her all my stress

Had her feeling like she worthless when she gave me her best

That's the guilt that keep me up at night, you understand me?

Made her feel like she ain't pretty when she out here doing damage

To herself, to her soul, 'cause of what I put her through

Now another n**a treating her the way I should've moved

Talking slick when she was speaking facts, yeah, I was out of line

Got her twisted up inside her head, messing with her mind

Every late night, every lie, every time I chose the gang

Over her, and that's the shit that make a good girl change

See, I was blessed with the best and I ain't even realize

Had a queen that saw past the façade and all the lies

But the money got me moving different, had me acting strange

Prioritizing all the wrong things, yeah, I lost the change

Chorus

Day ones, yeah, that's what I'm on

When you got nothing, they still hold on

Day ones don't come around like that

Now I'm reminiscing on the facts

Yeah, yeah, ooh

God, reminiscing on the facts

Day ones, yeah

Verse 3

Man, I see her thriving now without me in her life

Moving on, let it go, found somebody who treat her right

That's growth, and I respect it, but it's cutting me deep

'Cause I'm sleeping with the demons and I losing sleep

Used to love her like forever, now she ain't even call

Build it up just to tear it down, yeah, I had it all

And I fumbled on the one yard line, man, I fumbled bad

But that's real, and that's life, and that's why I'm mad

At myself, you understand? Like, the homies still around

But the day one that I needed, man, she moving outta town

That's the weight I gotta carry, that's the lesson that I learned

Never take a good woman for granted or you gonna get burned

Outro

Day ones, yeah

Thinking 'bout the life

Man, I had her, I had her

Should've held on tight

Day ones, yeah

They don't come twice, nah

Never coming back, never coming back

Yeah
