Description
“On the One,” combines a syncopated drum beat section that has the feel of Maroon Five’s “This Love”, with a heavy soul influenced verse that highlights vocalist Billy D. William's laid back delivery and vocal style. This heavily arranged tune, features soulful breakdowns, heavy horn lines, and a keyboard solo by Paul Haney that feels like it could quote P-Funk at any moment. - Scott Paddock of Mobtown Music Guide

ON THE ONE! LYRICS BY BILLY D WILLIAM My momma says a man grows up thru heaven I always say that it do I felt the sting and poured it out through riddims we put some stank on it too (chorus) I'm always told that it ain't what it was that puts your struggle where they say that it does I got $5 on your $10 if you think it's enough I got the blvd tracking you down for my cut I promise soul if only that you with it man I'm portrayed in the thing I can feel that, with every moment that we give em before we say anything (chorus) I ain't no hustler but I'd gotten it done Like Theo we be jammin straight on the one I got that fire for your sun as you stand in the rays I got the five winds calling your name for days (KEY SOLO thru change) My father's son was born & notty headed SEE-I as many do I love the song before you got your man I'll probably die in it too (chorus) I'm always told that it ain't what it was that puts your struggle where they say that it does I got $5 on your $10 if you think it's enough I got the blvd tracking you down for my cut
