One step closer to saying I’m done
I said I’m almost there, I was starting to run
From who I’m meant to become
Feeling like I ain’t ready
‘cause dreams burning in my face, why I couldn’t see Freddy

Verse 1:
And life got the machete like Jason
It’s chasing me, with Nike Zooms, this a race to me
Maybe I set myself up, made music you can feel
Every chat was building shoes I couldn’t possibly fill
Why my soul still hasn’t fully healed
Jumping hurdles, they stopping the watch from time to kill for real
Always hear ‘you close to a breakthrough
Heaven’s watching you, shouldn’t care what they rate you’
Problem is I do, I know that I shouldn’t
I’m working on it, never wanna hear myself say that I couldn’t
But every time I make a little progress
Something comes up eager to hinder the process
Man

****

One step forward but I’m two steps back
I take one step forward, take two steps back
It’s like I’m one step forward but I’m two steps back
It’s like that y’all, it’s like it’s life

Verse 2:
Follow the path of my heroes before me
My Granddad Pratt, my Grandma Needi Astory
I let be my guide all leaders in they own right
Holding on my phone tight, this gon’ be a long night
‘cause the Plight of the Shoobies, I’m [?]
They don’t want me to believe in myself, hide in the sheets
From the beast at the very least, I’ma need cleats
Wearing shoes that ain’t my size, gettin’ blisters on my feet (ouch)
But now I got a cushion, time to keep pushing
The pain cuts deep, the blood is gushing
But what separates the boys from the men is the will to keep fighting
I’m rare like a Bigfoot sighting and I’m out
Two steps
