Wonder from Da 7 - For Once In My Life

It's been three years and I still foresee tears
Been humbled with pre-fears and more fails
And I thought through it all, that Wonder would prevail
But while I'm writing this down, I see the end of my tale
Did I even make a dent in the industry or touch a couple of lives?
Only thing my music brought was a couple of fives
From cash flow to dap ups and low streams
Back to reality with depression and no dreams
For once in my life I had a game plan
Life came and took that, it said change plan
Lockdown hit, depression made me a changed man
Graduated too but diplomas can't make a made man
Risked it all for five seconds of fame
But I only got two the other three never came
And now its such a shame with only myself to blame
I'm making songs dedicated to my name
Beginning to wonder when I'll make the fix
Tried and tried again but it never tends to stick
For once in my life
I gotta get it together
For once in my life
I swear I'll do better
For once in my life
I'ma do the right thing
For once in my life
Since I'm always all talk I'll switch it up and try to just sing
I guess the old man was right all along
I should make music my hobby not make my life a song
But all else just feels wrong, it ain't me
But all else puts food on the table, guaranteed
Since I turned 18 it's just been hell on earth
With little tidbits of heaven that give the struggle worth
Deep down I know that I'm seeing exactly what I earned
So I thank God for the glimpse and say the lesson's learned
See me see wahala oh, with myself I don vex
Putting myself down when I should puff chest
Self esteem weak cause I no dey flex
Act like the worst when I am the best
If a failures all I see in the mirror
That's all I'll ever be
So I gotta walk that talk, not talk that talk for me
Say sabi I be a hometown hero
Beginning to wonder when I'll make the fix
Tried and tried again but it never tends to stick
For once in my life
I gotta get it together
For once in my life
I swear I'll do better
For once in my life
I'ma do the right thing
For once in my life
Since I'm always all talk I'll switch it up and try to just sing
For once in my life
I gotta get it together
For once in my life
I swear I'll do better
For once in my life
I'ma do the right thing
For once in my life
Since I'm always all talk I'll switch it up and try to just sing
