Lyrics

One Day

[Intro]

Expectations

Got me waitin'

So much patience

[Verse]

And every night, I’ve been thinkin' alone

You know I'm waitin’, that's all that I do, I'm just seein' me bringin' it home

Seein' the king on the throne, seein' it, though, when I pass out

Seein' it, though, when I blackout, they need me to fall, I don’t back down

Every track now, I’m just runnin' laps, once I head out the door, I’m not coming back

Yeah, I'm done with that, say "Quadeca's on the stage", the crowd all says "What is that?"

I mean, can I please win one thing now?

How many dreams do I need to sing 'bout?

I don’t know what my song's about until I'm done writin' it

My future is bright and it's burnin', but I just can't see it, that shit's ultraviolet

I made this intro, that shit is intense, someone please give me three-hundred violins

I went to see Kendrick perform down in Oakland, that shit's nothin' less than inspirin'

I need some love, but I ain't gonna get it from clovers or trips down to Ireland

This game, I admire it, the electrician is here, tryna change up the wirin'

So that I will win, you know I can get so much done in a day if I'm tryin' it

I know that if I get workin' and grindin', that I will be flyin' away on a private jet

[Hook]

And we stuck in here, saying "Maybe, one day..." (One day)

"...I could make a milli' on Monday

Or someday, maybe I could make it unchanged

And unchained- I'm just sayin', maybe one day..." (One day)

"...I can be performin' on the world stage"

And I ain't gotta ask you for your girl's name

No, we just stuck here sayin' "One day"

Maybe- "Maybe one day"

Quadeca's ‘Baby Steps’ arrives with a crime-caper video directed by the artist himself

Self-produced track grapples with parenthood through absurdist humour and twin narratives.
