[Verse 1:]
Typical story of an Oakland girl
Typical story heard around the world
Mama on her way, daddy up above
After 14 I get to mini tough
Used to roll up on the block on the east side
I crack enough 40's by the sea side
Lose a nigga every week to a drive by
Whole bookshelf of stories behind these eyes.
[Pre-Chorus 1:]
I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound so damn common
I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound like I'm chosen
But when I say it's hard to open up to you
It's hard to get close to you
I want it with everything in me to one day just say I'm in love with you.
[Chorus:]
But I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, I am not
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, hey
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, I am not
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it
(I'm not used to it)
[Post-Chorus:]
One day, one day, one day
One day, one day, one day.
[Verse 2:]
All single mothers in my family
Don't know if you're really understanding me
Never seen a nigga be a real man
I never seen a nigga with a real plan
And I still never been to a wedding
And I just see my family stressing
All the sons grow up with no daddies in every generation
Was all just raised on my granny
But now.
[Pre-Chorus 2:]
I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound so damn common
I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound like I'm chosen
But when I say it's hard to just side with you
It's hard to confide in you
I want it with everything in me to one day just say that I ride with you.
[Chorus:]
But I'm not used to it, I'm not use to it, I am not
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, hey
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, I am not
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it
(I'm not used to it)
[Post-Chorus:]
One day, one day, one day
One day, one day, one day.
[Bridge:]
Sometimes I pop off cuz it's hard and I'm used to
Sometimes I pop on cuz I have to
Sometimes I run from all my problems
Sometimes I make sure that I solve em
I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound so damn common
I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound so damn common but I'm not used to it.
[Chorus:]
But I'm not used to it, I'm not use to it, I am not (baby, yeah)
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, hey (I'm not used to it)
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, I am not (baby I'm sorry)
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it (I'm not, I'm not)
[Outro:]
Yeah, yeah
One day, one day, one day, one day
Yeah, yeah, hey yeah
Cuz I'm not used to it.
