Footsteps
Deep in debt n still devoted to nice clothes,
give me ten grand i could spend it with my eyes closed/
n i'd be pimping like a rich kid counting his funds,
n living like a broke bugger scouting for crumbs/
i still pay for this car that cant be trusted to start,
still working a day job n busting my arse/
i'm still building my skills n i got nothing but heart,
still feeling like i need a billion buckets of laughs/
so i'ma keep a belief like receipts in a jar,
n i'ma keep my arse covered like the seats in my car/
n if world don't agree with all the things that i'm doing,
i'd be a friggen politician full of shit like a sewer/
yeah i admit it i'm afraid of the dark,
i'm afraid of turning grey but i was brave at the start/
i don't live in the past jus the moment i'm at,
n if i lived on the street i'd feel at home when i rap/
CHORUS
Follow the footsteps of the great, while ya head feels hollow n your heart's misplaced,
swallow your pride n walk this way, we can talk war while we fight for change. x2
VERSE 2
Well they say truth be told, i told the truth
but truth doesn't mean shit unless u hold the proof/
in a world full of fear i'm afraid of being free,
thats why i'm hidden on the hill where i'm catered to the beat/
n i made it through the heat the hail n the rain,
failed so many times n prevailed again/
i watched this world burn as it turnt to a tip,
n u ask me what it is that i'm tryna do here/
i imagine the first look that Cook took,
at the beautiful landscape that once stood/
now don't you tell me that there's heaven on earth,
cuz by the time we find it we'll be down to reserves/
we got a gift to give n a wish to make,
i feel nothing but instinct to follow the great/
hide your tired eyes as i wake the globe,
from a sacred place i call natures own/
if home is where the heart is i live in a chest,
if only we departed when we finished our quest/
we all walk with a rhythmic jig like we're in sync,
every step we make we take before we think/
CHORUS
Follow the footsteps of the great, while ya head feels hollow n your heart's misplaced,
swallow your pride n walk this way, we can talk war while we fight for change. x2
