forje - birthday (day one) lyrics
day one, where it all begun, welcome to the world
a blessing to mum, even though she wanted a girl
it’s a celebration, product of a golden generation
no pressure, that’s just a foundation
something to build upon
live like you don’t know when life will be gone
short of the long + never had dough, still successfully bred
watching wannabes expect money trees, blowing cheese, matured prematurely instead
under a taken for granted roof over my head
making progress that demands take back
trying to create something with the resources that we lack
appearance giving heat cold feet, clean act disbelief, change of cardiac, give it a rest
try to make it so i need a bird to fly the nest
expect the worst, more value to the best
everyday struggle, everyday blessed
everyday living, not surviving for the next
everyday i’m living just like it’s my birthday
never had much, live like it’s my birthday
just got enough, live like it’s my birthday
everyting irie, like it’s my birthday
day one, day one, like this since day one
day one, day one, like this since day one
day one, day one, like this since day one
and it’ll never change…
beauty within the belly of the beast
birth to deceased, wanting the most on earth for the least
losing life living dreams, that’s niche, parallel universe
you tryna be the next, i’m tryna be the first
big in a lil world, that’s originality
the struggle’s in the real world, not a personality
rich on low salary, food for thought
life ain’t always sweet when you’re mixed in all sorts
last resort, share papa’s roach, stay none the wiser
my approach rather before and after advertiser
ex school teacher surpriser, odds defier
knowledge and entertainment supplier
from a young age this all gauged
sometimes you can expand your learning from just a blank page
like, another day alive is another day to strive
once you arrive at the light, only your shadow’s by your side, that’s why…
i’m living just like it’s my birthday
never had much, live like it’s my birthday
just got enough, live like it’s my birthday
everyting irie, like it’s my birthday
day one, day one, like this since day one
day one, day one, like this since day one
day one, day one, like this since day one
and it’ll never change…
birthday everyday, today could be the last
you know what they say, can’t move forward looking back on the past
birthday everyday, life’s short, time’s fast
all die anyway, so do first before questions asked
the marathon continues, nipsey scripted
this hustle i call a job, you call it unrealistic
no point to prove, this is the life i choose
i live for the same things i would lose my life to
issa mood, work hard so the party never stops
forever give props, regardless of what i’ve got
“don’t forget me when you’re famous!” i already forgot
only homegrowns are in the field of forget me not
take shots, never jump the gun, walk to run
mission: repay mum while i’m under the sun
from day one, one day, now one day, day one
more to come, this song, my story of how it all begun
everyday i’m living just like it’s my birthday
never had much, live like it’s my birthday
just got enough, live like it’s my birthday
everyting irie, like it’s my birthday
day one, day one, like this since day one
day one, day one, like this since day one
day one, day one, like this since day one
and it’ll never change…
