One Day Lyrics

Yeah, man's it's crazy how time flies
My mind tries to sit still, thinking how does one define 'wise'?
Feels like yesterday I was a newcomer
Fresh in the game, ready to make the truth thunder
But as the beat plays they lose wonder
After a few summers, the band's ready for a new drummer
Doesn't matter if you're not ready yet
Yesterday I was a cadet, now they call me a vet
But it's part of common sense that the artist's time will end
To the young this topic can be hard to comprehend
They don't come close to understandin'
How you can go from most demanded to abandoned in the ocean, stranded
Surrounded by the waves of your weariness
Some things you only learn from age and experience
And it's plain to me that all the famous men you see
The time is comin' when they will be a faded memory'Cause one day you hot, the next day you not
One day you on top, next day you get dropped, yeah
What in the world was your mind thinkin'?

You couldn't see the sands of time sinkin'?
'Cause one day you hot, the next day you not
One day you on top, next day you get dropped, yeah
Better plan for the future, kid
Time catches up to everyone, no matter who it is
Yeah, whatever happened to so-and-so, that's what they wanna know
Eventually we learn that they all come and go
Today's risin' star, tomorrow dies with scars
Today they awestruck, tomorrow you washed-up (right)
I remember watchin' Jordan's Hall of Fame speech
Thinkin' this is what it's like to watch the lame reach and gasp
As he tries to grasp what lies in the past (past)
Never to return what lies in the past
Did he tell himself, was he lost or sober?
Did he know it was all but over the moment that A.I. crossed him over?
If I could be like [?: ]
Let's shine the light on the one they call Iron Mike
Nowadays he's known for bein' all weird
But back in ' nobody was more feared
At the peak of his powers, his opponents would retreat
In moments he would eat and devour
Snuff with punches but we must discuss this
Crushed it just enough to trust its toughness
Pride brings such a justice, you puffed up with smugness?
Hm, you gonna meet Buster Douglas
Amazing that which blaze like petro
The new craze that made the waves in the metros
Was praised for days but just a phase like retros
And fades like echoes (echoes x)
'Cause one day you hot, the next day you not
One day you on top, next day you get dropped, yeah
What in the world was your mind thinkin'?
You couldn't see the sands of time sinkin'?
'Cause one day you hot, the next day you not
One day you on top, next day you get dropped, yeah
Better plan for the future, kid
Time catches up to everyone, no matter who it isWhat I'm speakin' on is seriously welcomed by the few (few)
Even though experience'll tell you that it's true
On your radio station this won't be found on the playlist
Wisdom, the sound of the sages, resoundin' for ages
The older I get, I notice it
The whole of the script, hm, it's found in the pages of holy writ
Not the cash speech of the reverend, but what a man sees under heaven, Ecclesiastes
No matter who you are, death aims to stop ya
Whether banker, doctor, or Frank Sinatra
Before your time is done, meet the Timeless One
The dying, death-defying, rising, shining Son
King Jesus astounds and amazes
He pounded the pavement to save those who were bounded in cages
So let us praise (praise) the One who made the Everglades (glades)
Our debt was paid (paid) so in glory we'll never fade (never fade x)
