C. Dean - One Day Lyrics

I grew up in Battle Creek
Cereal City cause it I guess it was cheap
Learned to skip class during the first week
Of sophomore year because I followed his lead
And I woke up in the morning smelling factories and sugar
Lovin' on my city knowin' well it ain't a looker
Had my mom and dad so yeah I guess I was lucky
Until the cancer took my dad I guess it was hungry
When I was growin' up I always dreamt of bein' richer
Not with money or fame
But somethin' different
And all I wanna do now is make him proud
Cause the only time I see him's when I'm dreamin'
Wow
Thinking I could make it
Not sure what to do
But I knew I had to leave it
So away I flew
(And I knew I had to leave it so away I flew)

Yeah I
Swear I'll
Get there
I swear I'll get there one day
Promise I'll
Get there
I'll show you
From your grave
I swear

Found out an old friend lost his will
Than lost his life
And I'm shaken still
We talked about a month ago
He was happy then
I guess it was a show
Cause I remember all the conversations
About our lives and how they kept changing
But the Devil was callin'
Shoutin' his name
Nobody could save him
He wasn't the same (Damn)
And how does that sit
When you're looking back at all the things you said or you did
I know I wasn't always proud of shit I'll admit
But now I'm finally growin'
Cause I was a kid (Aye)
Angry at my mom
Angry at life
Drinking all the time and blacking out every night
Blaming everybody for my problems
When only me and my music could really solve 'em

Yeah I
Swear I'll
Get there
I swear I'll get there one day
Promise I'll
Get there
I'll show you
From your grave
I swear
