Old Steps

(альбом: Don't Be Afraid - 2017)

Well alright look
Stare from a porch it's a different one this time
Where I came to gain a name but lose my mind
Lose my friend lose God lose track of time
Earn things that'll all be left behind
Now is it worth it huh? the hurting huh? Shit
What's a love like this? met the game at 14
Daydreaming on a bench from recording in my closet
Never thought it be this, honest I didn't even wanna leave
Wanna to be the man that the kids wanna be
In my small city but if I fall will y'all fall with me
Nah but if I ball bet they ball with me, I tell stories
Make 'em feel like they all with me see I ain't no bigger
Than you I had to move couch to couch still ain't got a room
I still got that passion you hear up in my tunes save the art

Heads high with our fist raised
Late nights into early days
Don't tell me it'll be the same
Old steps all that remain
I don't wanna tell you everything
Gonna be ok, cause it's not ok
No it's not ok
No I'm not ok

I stayed up so many nights thinking about life
Further I am from love the more the pen write
Art set us free really my therapy on a plane
When I made this record what if we never speak again?
Will I be missed or just another nigga
Who didn't make it over the fence can't say I died broke
My soul was rich mind had what it take to make a shift
Lead the youth, granny know I'm telling the truth
Looking down from heaven she cooking some food
Like damn. who thought you be the one to go
Held us down when we left and kept us all close
The old steps don't really guide us no mo
I chose another way and God let me know
That the real gone shine through
Working on your journey swear your purpose a find you
And I be right behind you

Heads high with our fist raised
Late nights into early days
Don't tell me it'll be the same
Old steps all that remain
I don't wanna tell you everything
Gonna be ok, cause it's not ok
No it's not ok
No I'm not ok

I been taking new steps in my old shoes
I ain't giving up I ain't never gonna lose
See me working in the dead of night
You ain't gotta understand it's not your fight
You ain't gotta understand it's not your fight

Heads high with our fist raised
Late nights into early days
Don't tell me it'll be the same
Old steps all that remain
I don't wanna tell you everything
Gonna be ok, cause it's not ok
No it's not ok
No I'm not ok
