one foot in front of the other
Tough times inspired this song.
Confident Strides
(verse 1)
three tears drop my eye
I'm tired of this life but I don't want to die
so I rise and I shine, I get up and get high,
pay respect to one love and this one life think twice realize
the only one you can depend on is yourself
and if you can't do that you definatly can't do nothing else
stealth mode we rode how was I supposed to know
until the heat was in my hand they said pull back and let it go
I stand a man of my word but now I'm cursed to walk this earth
and search for worth until it hurts
you know I love you mom this is a message from your son
I'm on my way to number one I ain't gonna stop until I'm done
I can feel it in my bones my time has come
run run don't stop I rock my block with my brand of hip-hop
(chorous)
confident strides into an unsure future
shit man I'm used to not knowing
when I'm gonna eat
where I'm gonna sleep
who I'm gonna meet
but I won't be beat
I keep landing on my feet
(repeat)
(verse 2)
I'm from Colorado where the sun glows and melts the snow
which makes the rivers flow so many lost souls without control
I broke the mold broke the cycle's hold
stopped it cold wherever I rolled never was told
a story like this before about a very old soul in a young halfro
struggling to make sense of the times
struggling trying not to lose my mind
stop making threats pay up your debt's and give respect
and in effect you'll see the outcome that's best
now take a rest a couple breaths I know its hard
but keep your head high never the less
breathe deep breathe deep what we sow we reap
breathe deep breathe deep before you reach six feet
breathe deep breathe deep what we sow we reap
what we sow we reap what we sow we reap
(chorous)
(verse 3)
I make ferrocious flows I live where doja grows
I have a restless soul if this is a test its getting old
lets roll take a walk in my shoes if you wanna
I've seen nights so cold I thought "if I stop walking I'm a goner"
enough whining got to keep my mind on climbing
one step at a rhyme I see the signs of the times fine lines
seperate the fake and the true so much
hate and abuse I keep struggling through
it seems my only enemy is the state
and the way they always try to catch me up in a case
fake ass public defender wants the plea that I enter
to be guilty so I spend the next several winters in the penatentury
land of the free? not if you ask me the statue of liberty
probably gets down on her knees th bitch bleeds
cause congress pulled a few strings I only know a few things
but I don't trust the police
(chorous)
