One day at a time (Open Collab Remix) Lyrics
[Intro:Mist]
Yo, you know these times when, u feel like no one believes in what you do and your about to just quit on everything
But instead you only got yourself to believe in and keep practicing one day at a time till ya reach the level you wanna be at
Earn the respect you needed and whoever didn' believe in you fall at your feet and know what are you worth
[VERSE 1 : SINIMA ]
I remember the pain, making pennies a day
Some one told me to pray, I didn't know what to say
So I gave up on God, cause he won't help you unless you help yourself
Ain't that the truth, so I took my 5 talents and I dug'em up
Then I multiplied talents till they doubled up
I get a million plays a month , am sick as fuck
If I can trade plays for dollars, I'd be feeling like Trump
And you can hate but that shit don't phase me man
Yo, you know these times when, u feel like no one believes in what you do and your about to just quit on everything
But instead you only got yourself to believe in and keep practicing one day at a time till ya reach the level you wanna be at
Earn the respect you needed and whoever didn' believe in you fall at your feet and know what are you worth

I remember the pain, making pennies a day
Some one told me to pray, I didn't know what to say
So I gave up on God, cause he won't help you unless you help yourself
Ain't that the truth, so I took my 5 talents and I dug'em up
Then I multiplied talents till they doubled up
I get a million plays a month , am sick as fuck
If I can trade plays for dollars, I'd be feeling like Trump
And you can hate but that shit don't phase me man
And you can pray for my downfall but I stand
You gon' keep talking shit, is that your plan?
This ain't the first time that I cracked a man
Am not gangster, but I can't control my anger
Don't push me or you gon' see a complete stranger
Only takes is a bottle of henni to get me right
Throw on some headphones and make beats all night
[VERSE 2: Eminem]
We could only learn to take, our anger and our hate
Control our mental state, settle down and just set it straight
Maybe we could learn to take, a second to pump the brakes
Before we said it, regret it later, and let it escalade
Cuz by then its just too late, theres so much we can take
Theres only so much someone can swallow and tolerate
Till the point that he just breaks, snaps and thats all it takes
You think that we was learnin from other rappers mistakes
But we ain't, his brain will go against
With every artist comes an image he portrays
And a picture that he paints
But in the midst of all this anger and this gangs
Never once did you hear me say I'm a gangsta
And I ain't hear no complaints
But I know, that I will always continue to grow
As long as I lead, and never follow noone else's shadow
There will never be another me, and that I can guarantee
Its that why I remain sucker free, to this dayThe game, will never be the same
You gon' keep talking shit, is that your plan?
This ain't the first time that I cracked a man
Am not gangster, but I can't control my anger
Don't push me or you gon' see a complete stranger
Only takes is a bottle of henni to get me right
Throw on some headphones and make beats all night

No matter how much fame or success they attain
There will never be another me
And no matter what they do, there will never be another you
You can search but you'll never find
You can try to rewind time, but in your hearts and your minds
We will never die, we are forever alive
When we continue going, one day at a time
[Verse 3: Mist]
By the time I was going 15 , I vowed not to copy my homies
So I tried growin' self esteem without bein' cocky or snobby
Started writin' poems of sick schemes, I was proud to have ma only hobby
Soon this hobby jumped to an awesome knack, I was bestowed some evident gift from God
Since that moment I once bought some of Eminem's hits and Pac's
I was influenced on the spot, these guys are like the Beethoven's of rap
And that's when I switched'em poems to tracks, but then ma closest fams
Would say ''Mist what you doin' is trash'', I remember these concerts
Back in the day when I had to pay to spit on stage, damn
What have gone wrong? shall I quit, have ma skills gone wack?
Now while am doin' this song, shit, I still got no fans
And this fact is makin' me nervous as it stays on ma mind
But I know practice makes perfect, ama reach the top one day at a time
There will never be another me
And no matter what they do, there will never be another you
You can search but you'll never find
You can try to rewind time, but in your hearts and your minds
We will never die, we are forever alive
When we continue going, one day at a time
