I’m The One (DJ Khaled Cover) Lyrics

[Chorus]
You see, you're lookin' at the truth, the money never lie, no
I'm the one, yeah
I'm the one
Early mornin' in the dawn, know you wanna ride now
I'm the one, yeah
I'm the one, yeah
I know you're sick of all those other imitators
Don't let the only real one intimidate ya
Know you watchin', don't run outta time now
I'm the one, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-eh-oh-eh-oh, eh-oh, I'm the one
Oh-eh-oh-eh-oh, eh-oh, the only one
Oh-eh-oh-eh-oh, eh-oh, I'm the one
Oh-eh-oh-eh-oh, eh-oh

[Verse 1]
'Cause I'm the one that hit that same spot
Sold out arenas but I do it in a tank top, yeah
See, 100 got that new drop
We makin' records, breakin' records off a laptop
Feelin' good when I wake up
Listen to Khaled when I'm puttin' on my make up
Me and my mans would always fight and then we'd break up
So I moved on and put some zeroes on my pay stubs
I lost some things, then I found them
I got some day ones and I always stick around them
This summer droppin' and I know we gon' astound them
And plus I went and I put Quavo on the album
[Chorus]
You're lookin' at the truth, the money never lie, no
I'm the one, yeah
I'm the one
Early mornin' in the dawn, know you wanna ride now
I'm the one, yeah
I'm the one, yeah
I know you're sick of all those other imitators
Don't let the only real one intimidate ya
Know you watchin', don't run outta time now
I'm the one, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-eh-oh-eh-oh, eh-oh, I'm the one
Oh-eh-oh-eh-oh, eh-oh, the only one
Oh-eh-oh-eh-oh, eh-oh, I'm the one
Oh-eh-oh-eh-oh, eh-oh

[Verse 2]
Just got myself a baby blue Chanel
I used it twice, despite the price, and put it on the shelf
And when I roll up in the club, no one can ever tell
Stay in the back, so I can grab all on his Gucci belt (ha!)
But we don't got no label
Don't really want bottles
Nothing in my nasal
Wanna keep it lowkey
Sneak under the table
DJ play The Weekend, tell me are you Abel? (okay though)
Love, love, love, makin' love still
It's been a minute, but he always get it rough, still
He callin', ask if we can do it in the tub still
And so I pull up (brrrt-brrrt)
[Chorus]
You know you're lookin' at the truth, the money never lie, no
I'm the one, yeah
I'm the one
Early mornin' in the dawn, know you wanna ride now
I'm the one, yeah
I'm the one, yeah
I know you're sick of all those other imitators
Don't let the only real one intimidate ya
Know you watchin', don't run outta time now
I'm the one, yeah

[Outro]
Don't you know girl, don't you know girl
I am the one for you
Don't you know girl, don't you know girl
I am the one for you
Don't you know girl, don't you know girl
I am the one for you
Don't you know girl, don't you know girl
I am the one for you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
