Lyrics
feeling the wind blow thru my hair
puffing a cigarette, without a care
knowing at last the time's near
to depart this cypher
I try to regulate my brain to decipher
life, but who the wiser?
to the system, made a change, same victims
niggas will never change I maintain my wisdom
its like one step for mankind
but we stand still cause the next step could be a land mine
this is my pastime, taking these notes
while the waters run deep on my industry hopes
dreams of fur coats and leather jackets
red and yellow, white tinted flashes
yo son pass me the matches
so I can light it, see my dreams in the smoke
see the life that I wanted till my passage evoke
then I light another one, yo stare at my gun
want to get up and f**k those who try to become
obstacles in path,
I study my math
but it seems reality only conceals the half
oh god forgive a nigga so I can smile one more time
at last, memories appear in a flash
to life
whats the next step
to life
i take the next step
to life
I toast death threats everytime I'm upset
to life
I sit back and contemplate the next step
to life
envision success I gotta take the next step
to life
See the tears in my eyes so many times that I've cried
with my hands high look how many times that I've tried
learn to accept, what I could never forget
so many things I regret,
its like the only answer is death
what must I do for respect?
accept the neglect?
never that, I rather pick up a clip and eject
shit that gets an effect
whether bad or positive
look at these notes and behold whats my prerogative
but since the color of my skin is the earth
do I deserve to be treated as a menace at work?
unlimited hurt, I write sitting next to the candle light
with a pen in my hand, I might show you what its like
being empty, so the devil could tempt me
I resent my aspect, but I say it gently
I would really like to know who sent me
if it is god then it could never make sense to me
to life
whats the next step
to life
i take the next step
to life
I toast death threats everytime I'm upset
to life
I sit back and contemplate the next step
to life
envision success I gotta take the next step
to life
