Calculated Steps (Live)

My every move is a calculated step To prepare my son for a life after my death And while I'm here, I'ma teach him what I know And leave him everything I own (yall that don't understand me) I'm making calculated steps To prepare my son for a life after my death And for my fam I'll sacrifice myself It's my job to provide and protect And I'm just riding around town, with the music down Deep in my thoughts, by default, as I'm thinking out loud About the problems on my plate and the obstacles I face I'm trying hard not to break, tears falling down my face See, most men won't admit it, but every man can relate This journey I embrace, no surrender, no escape Remember when I prayed for a wife every night And it came, a husband and a father I became I'm scarred but unpahsed, a product of God's grace It's all falling in place, cause I never lost faith Or blamed my actions on my father mistakes Gotta lead by example, in a positive way My every move is a calculated step To prepare my son for a life after my death And while I'm here, Imma teach him what I know And leave him everything I own (Yall don't understand me) I'm making calculated steps To prepare myself for life after my death And for my fam, I don't sacrifice myself It's my job to provide and protect See, I live for the moments that money can't even buy Like spending quality time, family trips in the summertime Where would I be without my woman by my side Happy wife, happy life, better learn to compromise I get inspired when I look into my son's eyes Cause he the Michael Corleone of my bloodline Even took a step back from that club life Told the fellas Imma link with y'all another time Cause I got real responsibilities And I still gotta take accountability And my fam, they count on my ability And I gotta hold it down for my mini me Cause you know my family my priority, my top priority And I can't let them down, no matter how many times I fail And I know my good work And my good work is not in vain Not in vain, no And my good work is not in vain Not in vain, no And my good work is not in vain Not in vain And my good work is not in vain Not in vain, no I love this joy Feels better than pain Better than pain Don't worry about you boy Cause I'ma do my thang Do my thang
