danny brown - two steps back lyrics
seen n-gg-s lose lives over eightball money
seen crack babies grow up to serve they mommy
can’t explain why we live with so much sorrow
guess the stories of today’ll be a movie tomorrow
mama always said there’d be days like this
ain’t got my own pot so in the alley i p-ss
i’ll risk my own life to be rich
workin’ like a slave for them chains and whips
i daydream around palm trees
blowin’ haze in the day summertime breeze
but in reality i just blow my breath
let the michigan cold numb my flesh
i need a tissue cus my nose is runnin’
faced harsh winters, locked hot summer
f-ck the president and the next running
none of them n-gg-s gon’ let me hold something
take one step forward and two steps back
n-body gets nowhere like that
i take one step forward and two steps back
n-body gets through life like that
i take one step forward and two steps back
n-body gets through life like that
take one step forward and two steps back
n-body gets nowhere like that
at night i lay in bed and just pray i can sleep
think about my life with the tv on the blink
starin’ at the ceiling, i just think
should i write my own will but i ran outta ink
ask god questions almost every day
i almost get my answers a d-mn year later
i rolled in (…) (…)
spit for crack babies
layin’ incubators
this is for my n-gg-s workin’ nine to five
they wanna beat they boss -ss but they gotta survive
for the ones who hustle, had to slow up
cause they wanna be around and see they kids grow up
my boy got a chain for his thirteenth birthday
went to school, n-gg-s jumped him the next day
truthfully, they took his honesty
cause now my n-gg- locked up for two armed robberies
one step forward and two steps back
n-body gets through life like that
i take one step forward and two steps back
n-body gets nowhere like that
i take one step forward and two steps back
n-body gets through life like that
i take one step forward and two steps back
n-body gets nowhere like that
yeah-yuh
that’s how it is sometimes you know
shout out to all my n-gg-s with they dreams though man
don’t give up
you gotta keep movin’ man
all my detroit n-gg-s, we f-cked up
we gon’ make it outta this sh-t man…
