[Verse 1]
Eight hour shift at the restaurant
Forty-seven things to be questioned on
Collect my check then, yuh, I'm gone
On my way to the upper echelon
Cool so I'm tryna get my session on
God damn, I gotta get dome rest for once
But ain't nobody else gonna get me some
So I dip my head and then I shoulder on

[Pre-Chorus]
I thought things would happen quicker
Couldn't see the bigger picture
I guess I'll just have to figure this out on my own
My friends still wouldn't believe me
If they saw me on the TV
Nothing's ever coming easy, this I know

[Chorus]
I got a ways to go before I get there
But one day, I'mma get there
I feel my patience low while I sit here
But one day, I'mma get there
Lately the days are slow and it ain't fair
But one day, I'mma get there
Feel like I'm moving, meanwhile I'm stuck here
But one day, I'mma get there
(But one day, I'mma get there
But one day, I'mma)

[Verse 2]
Hol' up
Do it for your mama, she's the only one that showed up
So when you blow up
She can tell her friends that she helped your ass grow up
In the mean time, sorry mom for all the drama
But I need time before I get to count the commas
A lotta love and a little bit of patience
I could make a billion in the basement

[Chorus]
I got a ways to go before I get there
But one day, I'mma get there
I feel my patience low while I sit here
But one day, I'mma get there
Lately the days are slow and it ain't fair
But one day, I'mma get there
Feel like I'm moving, meanwhile I'm stuck here
But one day, I'mma get there
Feel like I'm moving, meanwhile I'm stuck here
But one day, I'mma get there
