The Only One Blu & Exile (Ft. Jimetta Rose)

[Intro: Blu]
One, one, one, I’m only
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh (Yeah)
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Yo, check it

[Verse 1: Blu]
I was a nigga in my younger days
I even went through the phase as an angry ass black man
I played the Pan-African for a week
Until I rocked up in Seattle when that racist shit ceased
I met some sisters out in Mozambique
Who asked me what part of Africa was my fam tree
It would have to be Réunion, an Island on the coast
That was conquered by the French a long time ago
A true foe like I'm Francois cam shot
I gotta stand by my blood like blood, though I am not them
I pretend to be me, every now and then
Even though some days, I wasn't proud of kin
I was childish then, found a style again
Lost myself tryna follow men, reading books to fill this hollow skin
Couldn't swim till they found me on the shallow end
Used to win back when I didn't know how to win
And now I spend money, trying to get my smile grinning
Grim living foul feeling thinner than I am now
And that's a sin, but religion isn't in me anymore
So the Lord doesn't care if I'm sore 'cause I'm bored
Sick of thinking what I'm here for, I'm not sure
I'm trying to be content with that, but fuck that
I want my love back, my lust, my trust back
And keep this freedom, I don't wanna rap
