[Verse 1]
Typical story of an Oakland girl
Typical story heard around the world
Mama on her way, daddy up above
Out at 14, I guess it made me tough
Used to roll up on the block on the east side
I crack enough 40's by the seaside
Lose a n***a every week to a drive-by
Whole bookshelf of stories behind these eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
I, 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 jawsin'
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 n***a be a real man
I never seen a n***a with a real plan
And I still never been to a wedding
And I just see my family stressing
All the sons who grow up with no daddies in every generation
Was all just raised on my granny but now
[Pre-Chorus]
I, 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 jawsin'
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 'cause it's all that I'm used to
Sometimes I pop one 'cause 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 used 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, 'cause I'm not used to it
