Day Onez
MBNel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Day ones, you were supposed to be my day one
Shit, I should have seen this motherfuckin' day come
Nowadays, bitches switch up like they make up
I thought you had my back, but then you left me without saying nothin'
I thought I was the one that you loved
You was fucking with me 'cause you had a thing for them thugs
You would ride around, I let you ride around with my gun
Now I'm saying "Motherfuck you," 'cause you fucked up my trust Then I came home to come and see you fuck with my brother
On top of that, you blew the money me and you made together
We was supposed to be a team 'til you pulled KD with Thunder
And I would always put you on, and you would throw me up under
Niggas should've known that she was never gon' last forever
Before I owned a Glock, I owned a couple Berettas
And I'm just thankful that you gone, a nigga now doin' better
But now I got a new girl and we gon' build shit together

My day one, my day one (Day one)
You was supposed to be my day one (Day one)
My day one (Day one)

My day one, you was supposed to be my day one
If suckers rolled up on us,
You were the one who was supposed to spray somethin'
I slid for you and gave you food when you ate nothin'
And then you robbed your brother with a gun and with his face up
Damn, I just lost my trust with these hoes
On top of that, these niggas snakes so now I question my bros
These niggas run around in here, and they be breakin' the code
Like I ain't ever gave you food and let you rock with my clothes
This shit get mainey, I can't even trust me a soul
Every time I ride around, I gotta keep me a pole
I thought you'd never bend, but shit you broke down and fold
And now my heart is on the floor, it's getting colder and colder
Day ones, I don't know if they is
But now a nigga gettin' buzz, so everybody my friends
I used to dream about this feeling back when I was a kid
And now I wonder if a nigga gone, if I'm gonna be missed, aye

And a nigga being honest
I used to want this shit, but I don't want it
I learned the hard way, this shit ain't promised
Pull up on me, I'm poppin'

Aye, my day one (Day one)
I thought you was my day one (Day one)
I thought you was my day one (Day one)
Day one (One)
I thought you was my day one (Day one)
I thought you was my day one (One)
I thought you was my day one (One)
Aye, day one (Day one)
I thought you was my day one
I thought you was my day one

My day one (Day one)
My day one
