ONE OL DAY

Woke up this mornin', sun shinin' bright,

But my coffee spilled, and my ride won't ignite.

Boss on my ass, bills stackin' high,

While my homies postin' pics, livin' that fly life.

(Chorus, slow groove, like that classic Teddy Pendergrass vibe—deep bass, piano keys drippin' soul)

Oh, why me? Shit just won't go my way,

Everybody else chillin', smilin' through the day.

I'm trippin' over nothin', feelin' all alone,

But I'll keep pushin', 'cause this hood heart's made of stone.

Damn, why me? When the world's on cruise,

I'm stuck in the mud, payin' all these dues.

Traffic jam eternal, phone on silent mode,

Ex blowin' up, sayin' I owe her the code.

Friends got promotions, vacations booked tight,

Me? Ramen for dinner, strugglin' under streetlights.

(Chorus again, build it up with some ad-libs— "Yeah, you feel me? Shit...")

Oh, why me? Shit just won't go my way,

Everybody else chillin', smilin' through the day.

I'm trippin' over nothin', feelin' all alone,

But I'll keep pushin', 'cause this hood heart's made of stone.

Damn, why me? When the world's on cruise,

I'm stuck in the mud, payin' all these dues.

(Bridge, drop the beat low, like old-school Barry White—whisper it raw)

One day it'll flip, karma gon' swing back,

I'll be the one ballin', leavin' haters in the black.

Till then, fuck the noise, I'll grind through the pain,

Hood rules: head up, no time for the rain.

(Fade out with chorus hummin', add some horns for that Motown punch)

Why me... yeah, but I'll be alright. Hood forever.
