One Day by Eldorado Red Lyrics
[Intro]
And I'm gonna thank all the participants in this case, uh the sheriff's department, the police department involved, the lawyers. We had very competent professional lawyers, very good lawyers, and uh the good news for Mr. Bradford is that someday he is going to get out of prison
[Sample]
One of these old days, yeah
One of these old days
We ain't gon' have to cry no more
You see God's gon' wipe away all our tears
One of these old days, yeah
One of these old days
Someday he is going to get out of prison
We ain't gon' have to cry no more
[Verse 1]
Yeah, my life like a movie nigga
No directors in the hood when we shooting nigga
In the courtroom waiting on man's fate
Know the D.A. crooked I peep his handshake
Uh, wiped the tears from my lady face
Shoutout to Eastside Jody, he helped me beat the case
Nigga turned snake on the stand with the stake
Losing so much weight, hair turning grey
In my cell crying, thinking 'bout my son Blake
No release date, judge gave me 25 (life)
But I'm a king, so I'ma still hold my head high
Whether right or wrong, I'ma pour in the code
Ain't taking no deal (nah), I ain't selling my soul (never)
On the yard with these killers working out
Daddy told me "Stay strong son, God gon' work it out"
Faith all a nigga got
So I'ma keep praying til the doors pop
[Interlude]
One of these days, uh
See I know a lot of y'all niggas seen me on the news and shit
Y'all thought it was over for a nigga
Always remember though, God got the last say so
I just kept my faith man
This ain't over with for me
This ain't the end for me
[Verse 2]
Uh, focus on the bigger picture (stay focused)
You can be a billionaire but you still a nigga
Hands up, yeah, but the cops still killers
Like our beautiful mothers ain't got no damn feelings
Caught up in the system, 17, stuck in prison
He ain't even graduated, he got a life sentence
Ain't no real lawyer, just a public pretender
Packed jails full of black males, all sinners
Making pockets in the day room, eating dinner
Looking like some losers, but we really some winners
Lil nigga you a king, God lives in you
Before you sip the wine homie, gotta plant the vineyard
Gotta crawl before you walk, in other words
One day you gon' be a blessing to the whole world (tell 'em again)
Gotta crawl before you walk, in other words
One day you gon' be a blessing to the whole world
[Outro]
So you know, I had to find out for myself
Sometimes God will put us in a position
That'll be uncomfortable, just to give a testimony and a story for the world
So go through what you gotta go through lil homie
One day it gon' all make sense
[Sample]
One of these old days, yeah
One of these old days
We ain't gon' have to cry no more
You see God's gon' wipe away all our tears
He gon' wipe the tears, yeah
He gon' wipe the tears from your eyes
Do you hear me out there this evening?
I said we ain't gon' cry
We ain't gon' cry no more
One of these old days, yeah
One of these old days
