[Verse 1]
Hands cracked from the work
Coffee gone cold
Clock still talking trash
I been carrying load
Rent on my back
Truth in my teeth
If I say I’m tired
I still move my feet
Mama said, “Baby, don’t fold”
I heard that line
But the bills don’t care
If I’m out of time
Eyes on the prize
Mud on my shoes
I keep showing up
That’s what I do
[Pre-Chorus]
They want more from me
I give more than enough
Still they call it luck
When I crawl, when I clutch
I don’t ask for rescue
I just lock in tight
If I got one promise
I’ll make it tonight
[Chorus]
One day at a time
One day at a time
I keep my name
When the whole world thins
One day at a time
One day at a time
I’m never enough
So I rise again
[Verse 2]
I fight alone
No hand on my chain
Built my own table
In the pouring rain
Count every loss
Then I count my wins
Learned how to stand
With the fire within
Late-night shifts
Long-haul grind
I’m the last one left
And I’m still on time
If I break down once
I don’t stay there long
I turn that pain
Into proof I’m strong
[Pre-Chorus]
They want more from me
I give more than enough
Still they call it luck
When I crawl, when I clutch
I don’t ask for rescue
I just lock in tight
If I got one promise
I’ll make it tonight
[Chorus]
One day at a time
One day at a time
I keep my name
When the whole world thins
One day at a time
One day at a time
I’m never enough
So I rise again
[Bridge]
If I drop, I drop forward
Not back in shame
If I lose my breath
I still say my name
No one made my road
I made it mine
Heavy in my chest
Still I climb
[Chorus]
One day at a time
One day at a time
I keep my name
When the whole world thins
One day at a time
One day at a time
I’m never enough
So I rise again
