[Verse 1]
Typical story of an Oakland girl
Typical story heard around the world
Mama on her way, daddy up above
Out at 14, I guess it made me tough
Used to roll up on the block on the east side
I crack enough 40's by the sea side
Lose a nigga every week to a drive by
Whole bookshelf of stories behind these eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
I, I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound so damn common
I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound like I'm jawsin'
But when I say it's hard to open up to you
It's hard to get close to you
I want it with everything in me
To one day just say I'm in love with you

[Chorus]
But I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, I'm not
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, hey
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, I'm not
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it (I'm not used to it)

[Post-Chorus]
One day, one day, one day
One day, one day, one day

[Verse 2]
All single mothers in my family
Don't know if you're really understanding me
Never seen a nigga be a real man
I never seen a nigga with a real plan
And I still never been to a wedding
And I just see my family stressing
All the sons who grow up with no daddies in every generation
Was all just raised on my granny but now

[Pre-Chorus]
I, I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound so damn common
I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound like I'm jawsin'
But when I say it's hard to just side with you
It's hard to confide in you
I want it with everything in me
To one day just say that I ride with you

[Chorus]
But I'm not used to it, I'm not use to it, I'm not
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, hey
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, I'm not
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it (I'm not used to it)

[Post-Chorus]
One day, one day, one day
One day, one day, one day

[Bridge]
Sometimes I pop off 'cause it's all that I'm used to
Sometimes I pop one cause I have to
Sometimes I run from all my problems
Sometimes I make sure that I solve 'em
I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound so damn common
I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound so damn common
But I'm not used to it

[Chorus]
But I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, I am not (baby, yeah)
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, hey (I'm not used to it)
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, I am not (baby. I'm sorry)
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it (I'm not, I'm not)

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, one day, one day, one day, one day
Yeah, yeah, hey, yeah 'cause I'm not used to it

Kehlani

Oakland R&B singer Kehlani Parrish, better known as just Kehlani, first found fame on America’s Got Talent in 2011. Her group Poplyfe reached the final, losing to Landau Murphy.

Kehlani left Poplyfe after the show, but her solo career stalled for contractual reasons. She finally released her début solo project, Cloud 19, in 2014. A breezy, poppy mixtape, Cloud 19 flew largely under the radar, although Complex described it as “outstanding.”

2015 was Kehlani’s break-out year. Her sophomore mixtape, You Should Be Here, featured Chance The Rapper and BJ The Chicago Kid. It earned her national attention and even a Grammy nomination for Best Urban Contemporary, although it ultimately lost out to Beauty Behind the Madness by The Weeknd.
