Medhane Smallsteps
[Verse]
It's like walking on a burnt bridge
All them years I ain't learned shit
City like a furnace
I be seeking out my purpose
Hard to read me like some cursive
Stress put me through the worse shit
New burdens, stepping over serpents
Never nervous, sweeter when you earned it
Put the work in, deeper than the surface
Birds chirping while the world turning
Open up the curtains, squinting in the sun
Sippin 'til I'm numb
Need a little bit of love
Why these niggas giving up
Slipping til my niggas pick me up
When a kid was in a rut wasn't nobody there
Devil in my ear, but I stay aware
Niggas scary they be moving out of fear
Reason I be moving with my peers
Hindsight make it clear when the full-sight lack
Look back, peruse in the facts
Drew to the path, even when it twists
Kept it solid when my pride got chipped
[Hook]
Had to climb out
Took time just to find routes
Had to climb out
Took time just to find routes
Taking small steps
Trippin' trippin', I ain't fall yet
More time, more stress
Trippin', but I ain't fall yet
