One Last Time by A-Q feat. Dwin, The Stoic

Came in this world on a Saturday

Lost my mum on a Saturday

Jay left me on a Saturday

So many things I can’t erase

Wish I had my kid on a Saturday so I can change my fate

And celebrate the harder days

While I pray, I find a way

I think about the things I’ve done

The repercussions I escaped

Now I live with a heart of praise

Pray the Lord He guide my ways

So many people want me to fail so they can say “I told you so”

Somehow the fans hold me close

As generations slowly go

Still I walk this lonely road

The only captain on this boat

Elected me to lead the way

My disciples never followed close

For every time I walked on water

Every time I parted seas

Never knew my heart would bleed

Miracles took a part of me

Success took a shot and missed

Keep my failures far from me

Keep your legacies I’m just grateful for every time I breathe

Speaking these unspoken words

Making God’s Engineering 3 my final piece

Found my peace

The beauty of what silence is

Family will suffice for me

My faith in God is all I need

The scribing of you Pharisees could never make or mar my wings

Broke all generational cycles living inside of me

And finally, I’m free

Finally, I’ve found my peace

 

Oh see my heart

On my feet

I stand here you best believe

I’ll stretch out to touch the sky

And I’ll get close you know I’ll fly

See I hope someday soon

When there’s nothing left to do

I’ll be able to just say

I gave it all I could

 

And it’s just life I’m sure you know

Sometimes you’re sitting high and then you’re sitting low

And then it is an upward climb

And it’s awkward times for a while

And then if you dare to shoot for the moon

And if all else fails then you’d still be a star

My dear you’re a star

Hmm mm

 

Everything I believe in

Everything that my heart’s conceiving

Everything I have given

Every time they tried to break my spirit

I put your own success before mine even when you brought me ills and

Understand I’m just an orphan tryna make a decent living

When a door closes, I become unhinged and then I open ceilings

When it was time to focus, I froze in time and broke the laws of physics (whew)

I rewrote equations they couldn’t understand how I moved the pieces (mm mm)

Might take some time but I’m sure they’ll come around like telekinesis (I know they will)

If we’re building, we’re building

Nothing short of a unicorn (uh uh)

If I ever fall, I fall from empires I built upon

If I ever loose it’s on me

And not cos you proved me wrong

Tried to get me to make those stupid songs

I just moved along

Proudly say I did it my way
Kept my feet inside of my J’s
Foot on the gas till the end of my days
Foot on necks when they stand in my way
Foot the bills when they needed my help
Never ahead of myself when they handed me L’s
BeatsByJayy you said it yourself
Look at me now I did it myself
Mama I miss you, You raised me well
Daddy your seed you planted me well
My brothers I grieve I know you can tell
On my left and right my enemies fell
Whatever I did just know I meant well
Was all for the cause for us to prevail
Blinded by love but I saw it in braille
Thought I was fair game had the wrong intel
Trapping and mumbling
Getting high and stumbling
While your whole life’s crumbling
Gotta be humbling
To see me up again
I don’t roll with none of them
Gave me the run around
I always had motion
Nobody put me on
Know you crossed a Rubicon
When you see these tears on my Louis Vuitton
Step by step like we moving pawns
Brick by brick as we building on
Left right left as we moving on
Soldiers of God can’t do me wrong
Can’t do me harm
Can’t move this song
After all said and done I’m moving strong
All said and done I’m losing none
Just me and my ones till kingdom kingdom come

Oh see my heart
On my feet
I stand here you best believe
I’ll stretch out to touch the sky
And I’ll get close you know I’ll fly
See I hope someday soon
When there’s nothing left to do
I’ll be able to just say
I gave it all I could
