Old Steps - De'Wayne

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

Whats 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 its not ok

No its not ok

No Im 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 its not ok

No its not ok

No Im 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 its not your fight x2

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 its not ok

No its not ok

No Im not ok
