Lyrics

There's only one you-you-you-you

Emphasizing the uniqueness of an individual, with repetitive affirmations.

There's only one you-you-you-you

-

There's only one you-you-you-you

-

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding

-

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding

-

Just 'cause the game is up

Despite challenges, winning is not solely defined by external recognition. The speaker values personal achievements and instincts.

Didn't mean I didn't win

-

I got three aces and a king-king-king

-

I begun love of financiable things

-

That's why my instincts kicks in-in-inin

-

Matter if you win

-

It's based on what you bring

-

That's the feeling in the chest with the drink

-

Your telephone rings

-

But you ain't listenin'

-

So motherfucker now I'm steppin' in-in-in-in

-

There's only one you-you-you-you

Reiteration of individual uniqueness and self-worth.

There's only one you-you-you-you

-

There's only one you-you-you-you

-

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding

-

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding

-

There's only one you-you-you-you

-

There's only one you-you-you-you

-

There's only one you-you-you-you

-

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding

-

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding

-

Lara Croft is soft

Comparing the speaker to Lara Croft, emphasizing authenticity over fictional representations. Confidence in self-expression and unique experiences.

When it comes to my stuff

-

She's made up, I'm real

-

I'm a lady of gage, with an afro puff

-

Who else can say the things they feel?

-

More jiggy than Will

-

From a mouth to a chub

-

There's no bee I cannot kill-kill-kill

-

S-s-still chill upon a hill

-

Like I'm poppin' a pill

-

There's no other things I want to feel

-

There's only one you-you-you-you

Reiteration of individual uniqueness and self-worth.

There's only one you-you-you-you

-

There's only one you-you-you-you

-

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding

-

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding

-

There's trillions of cash

Acknowledging the vastness of wealth, people, and possibilities, yet celebrating the uniqueness of the individual among them.

And there's billions of us

-

And there's millions of things that can happen with this stuff

-

And there's thousands that will crash

-

And there's hundreds that will smash

-

There's only one you and I'mma drink to that

-

There's only one you-you-you-you

Reiteration of individual uniqueness and self-worth.

There's only one you-you-you-you

-

There's only one you-you-you-you

-

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding

-

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding

-

There's only one you-you-you-you

-

There's only one you-you-you-you

-

There's only one you-you-you-you

-

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding

-

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding

-

Come on, let go, let me go take off

Encouraging a carefree attitude, living in the moment, and appreciating one's unique life rather than just pursuing material gains.

Tonight's the one

-

'Cause tomorrow may never come

-

Fucking all day

-

Every night is gonna be mine

-

Making money is fine

-

But your life is one of a kind

-
