Step by Step

Yo on this battlefield you really only have two options man You can think or you can die You gotta keep that mentality with your life bruh Keeps you moving forward you know Just remember Your life is like one grain of sand On a beach it ain't hard to understand Until the pain from the tsunami waves hit and the current pulls you in to the tides that rip And your mind is stripped of every kind of bit Of inspiration that once helped you with Just livin', the secret is forbidden You learn a little bit of the code as you earn wisdom All the struggle and diggin' through hells rubble, the inner tussles - your demons keepin' you muzzled It's all a test - failure being the best - lesson there is cuz it shows you what to do next Picture this, a man diggin' for gold - for so many days, it began to take a toll But what he doesn't know is the person who's right behind him Who's not gonna stop cuz the thought of the gold drives him The first man calls it quits - without knowing he was only a couple of hits Away from striking it big and literally being rich The moral of this is don't forget Why you begin Step one, only do it if you have fun Step two, try to live through the view of Choosing to see the beauty and new love in the unknown as you grow as a human Step three, you gotta believe you can really achieve anything that's the truth bruh Cuz you're the only one left when the music Stops and you gotta pull both your boots up Just take it step by step Just take it breath by breath Just take it step by step Just take it breath by breath Like a worn out needle on a record player Your mental health can scar from neglect behavior Trade your self-inflicting nature For a dose of becoming your own savior I know it's harder than I could ever relay In a song where it's easy for me to say I'm learning from the treacherous path though I'm yearning to accept my blemishes and grow Just feelin' in the mood to spill feelings God willing I wake up tomorrow blessed instead of filling my Minutes and hours being diminished and sour Timid and cowardice I'll just spit this shit louder - like Step one, only do it if you have fun Step two, try to live through the view of Choosing to see the beauty and new love in the unknown as you grow as a human Step three, you gotta believe you can really achieve anything that's the truth bruh Cuz you're the only one left when the music Stops and you gotta pull both your boots up Just take it step by step Just take it breath by breath Just take it step by step Just take it breath by breath Not to be corny But this is your story You do get a few attempts to write down But once it's solidified there ain't no turning around Keep treading like a hiker does Or a free solo artist with an adrenaline rush Usually the moments you wish to be over Are the key components that morph you into a soldier You build your bridge as you walk across it One nail at a time to avoid the conflict Of moving too fast and spiraling down Toward a hole in the earth with nobody around Step one, only do it if you have fun Step two, try to live through the view of Choosing to see the beauty and new love in the unknown as you grow as a human Step three, you gotta believe you can really achieve anything that's the truth bruh Cuz you're the only one left when the music Stops and you gotta pull both your boots up Just take it step by step Just take it breath by breath Just take it step by step Just take it breath by breath That's all it really is man Gotta keep trekkin', keep moving It's the only way
