David Orta - Once In a Lifetime lyrics

[Intro: David Orta] So um, I recently went on a cruise It was the best week of my life But, when I got back home hahaa A lot of sh** happened [Verse 1: David Orta] August twenty eight I'll never forget the day I started seeing life for the way it truly is Staring at the ocean feeling the sea breeze Met a group of great people I couldn't picture a more perfect place to be It was too good to be true, for five days I was living in a fantasy Two days later, I was struck with reality Came home to instigation and bad morality But, I'm not here to mourn about the bad things that happened Bout to state the greatness of foreign personalities Two of them got me vividly thinking About hypocritical situations through critical thinking I wasn't trying to miss a single moment So I always had a drink in my hand sinfully blinking Now I'm here with no more doubts no more drowning out in droughts No more lies to myself on what I'm about Perusing' what I came to do; writing music see this tune? watch me use it To my advantage, I'm just a man tryna manage in life Because I was damaged in strife For a long time I took a break, took a step back Wondering where I stood I almost quit rap (Really?) Ever since I was a kid I knew that I was different I always battled right from wrong to fact and fiction And even considered change in religion had agnostic envisions I didn't know it, but i done saw my vision It hit me hard like an oncoming collision (Now that's something to think about) For quite some time I lost the inspiration to write Until I was sitting on that ping pong table in the middle of the night Downed a couple drinks, such a beautiful sight It ended pretty dramatically but, sh** I was feeling alright I never danced a day in my life until I met a girl like you Same taste in music I was looking to pursue But I knew my boundaries, and I knew my limits sh**, if I could go back now I would do a lot of things that I didn't [Outro: David Orta] Life is way to short For you to have somebody else bringing you down Take advantage and live your life the way you want to
