I'm feeling like I might have been cursed
Illuminate the world like a light from a church, I done
Tried to prepare for the worst
From the warlike battles to the ones that I rehearsed, I
Spent a lot of time for others, now I come first
I'm a fighter in my prime, I need the whole purse
Need change like a junkie under streetlights
And how niggas still enamored by the street life
I don't understand it
They say I got the sauce, just get it branded
Spend time like the others, just be standard
They don't care about the inside, all they care about is what surrounds it
Conform to the ways that they live
Being yourself always comes with a risk
Vices I try to resist
When will they learn
It's one step at a time, you're doing too much
I've been working all night, I can't keep in touch
Cause I stay hustlin' daily, there's no distractions
Gotta make it out alive
One step at a time
One step at a time
One step at a time
One step at a time
One step at a time
Back then, you wasn't around me
But now you've changed
Acting like we was family
Don't mean a thing
Said you weren't leaving
But you cut anyway
Fighting with demons
You let them have their way
Now I'm too busy to miss you
Call me up like what's the issue
Now I'm too busy to waste my time
My time, you can't pay that dime
Cause it waits for no man
I stick to the program
And it got me thinking
When will they learn
It's one step at a time, you're doing too much
I've been working all night, I can't keep in touch
Cause I stay hustlin' daily, there's no distractions
Gotta make it out alive
One step at a time
One step at a time
One step at a time
One step at a time
One step at a time
