Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Trapped in a thought, mind spilling remorse

He said the pain that I see, will fill up my corpse

Found feelings and lost, I found ceilings and torched

The structure of these buildings, no more dying in box

I keep thinking outside, he keep drinking down pride

I keep sipping and the wisdom of the damned come to mind

You know the ones that you miss, 'cause death took the grip

And I can feel him coming close and I just hope I don't slip

Nah, tell me can I speak with it? Come to peace with it

I do fathom not having the life that he acquitted

The natural pattern a eulogy with a speech limit

And I be worried my time is up when this speech finish

I see it often but could never pick the revisit

I tread light that can be tough but I see vision

A new life, no handcuffs, no police singing

A siren song but all I hear is the streets living

Tell me did I step right?

[Verse 2]

Did I envision my demise every time I thought of death?

I know my mama worried, I know my father be stressed

But I just need a reason see, see with a level head

At times I look to you in these moments that I neglect

I know you pray for me, and religion ain't even yours

But I'll be fine, my little cousin, if you're needed I will call

For now you go write a verse for every word that I involved

Inside of these songs I wrote, I could never see beyond our small town

I know that I could lose it all now

And if I'm being honest I'm more fearful of the law now than death itself

Door down, I'm letting it in

I know that clarity will come for you when you take a min

As you embrace your loss, remember you at risk of it all

When everything is said and done, I hope you loved and you fought

And in a moment that you slip, you adjust to the fall

Don't be fearful of the journey but just watch where you walk

Step right

[Verse 3]

Did I step right? Did I tread light?

Or did I fall into the void that we be met by?

You seen the cheque fly? I've seen the rest die

These distractions do keep me distant from next life

I know it too well, I've seen it before

It's been 80,000 years and we still hit the wall

I look for you inside a drug house like that was your call

I'm wishing for you in a dug out, I'm playing the sport

I'm hitting stage like what the fuck now, when will you call?

I need release, I might just jump now, could do with the fall

I need release, I might just jump now, could do with the fall

I need release, I might just jump now, could do with the fall

You took my uncle, didn't take me, knowing he named me

And now my mama back to selling for the safety

I said I'm worried for my brother inside of a world that changed me

Worried 'bout my sister inside of a world that taints me

Hate me, but you make me who I am

And as I'm searching for the peace I will always be within

I know you always be without, I will always be within

So right before I do end, telling you once again

[Verse 4]

I will step right, I will tread light

And I will overcome the barriers I'm met by

I take my father's last name and get it set right

I turn our stolen into golden in their next life

I will tread light, I will step right

I will tread light, but I will step right

I will tread light, but I will step right

I will tread light, but I will step
