Lyrics
[Intro]
Late bills on the counter
Ashtray on the sill
Phone screen cracked, still glowing
I’m here, you here, be still
[Chorus]
One day at a time, that’s how I’m livin’ (mm)
Zig zag path but I’m still driven
If I only get one shot, I’ma hold it close
YOLO in the dark, that’s the way it goes
One day at a time, just keep breathin’
Zig zag steps but I ain’t leavin’
If I only get one shot, I’ma make it mine
YOLO with the scars and the crooked line (yeah)
[Verse 1]
She said, “I’m tired of bein’ tired”
Fluorescent job, cheap coffee, wired
Rent late, dreams early, eyes on fire
Heart talk quiet, fear talkin’ louder
Bus ride home, forehead to the glass
Watchin’ rich folk rollin’ past
She hums, “I’m more than this”
Then wipes that thought like a final wish
[Chorus]
One day at a time, that’s how I’m livin’
Zig zag path but I’m still driven
If I only get one shot, I’ma hold it close
YOLO in the dark, that’s the way it goes (way it goes)
One day at a time, just keep breathin’
Zig zag steps but I ain’t leavin’
If I only get one shot, I’ma make it mine
YOLO with the scars and the crooked line
[Verse 2]
He got court dates marked in red
Baby pics taped above the bed
Mama prayin’ in the next room, soft
He pray too, but he laughs it off (yeah)
Same hoodie, same block, same talk
Wheelin’ hope in a ziplock
He whispers, “One flip, then I’m off this”
But the night keep pullin’ like a promise
[Chorus]
One day at a time, that’s how I’m livin’
Zig zag path but I’m still driven (still driven)
If I only get one shot, I’ma hold it close
YOLO in the dark, that’s the way it goes
One day at a time, just keep breathin’
Zig zag steps but I ain’t leavin’
If I only get one shot, I’ma make it mine
YOLO with the scars and the crooked line (crooked line)
[Verse 3]
[Female + male]
Two shadows in a corner store light
Both broke, both stuck, both fight
Shared smoke by the side door, cold air
She like, “You scared?” he like, “Yeah”
She laughs, “Same, but I still move”
He nods, “Fear just means prove”
They clink cheap cans like a toast to the grind
Two crooked routes tryin’ hard to align (ooh)
[Chorus]
One day at a time, that’s how we’re livin’
Zig zag hearts but we still driven
If we only get one shot, we gon’ hold it close
YOLO in the dark, that’s the way it goes (way it goes)
One day at a time, just keep breathin’
Zig zag roads but we ain’t leavin’
If we only get one shot, we gon’ make it shine
YOLO with the scars and the crooked line (yeah, yeah)
[Outro]
Late bus hummin’ through a half-dead town
Two tired souls not lookin’ down
Same old pain, brand new try
One deep breath, then another, then another
That’s the alibi

Style
rap, Grimy lo-fi rap cypher, dusty drums and muffled piano loops under a deep, lazy bass pulse. Intimate late-night feel with female and male vocals trading bars; hook built on a hushed, hypnotic chant. Verses stay close-mic’d and conversational, then stack ad-libs and doubles on key phrases. Outro lets the instruments ride while the vocals fade into murmured reflections., low, lo-fi
