dead prez - footsteps lyrics
[verse 1 – stic.man]
lies is like poisonous snakes—sl!ck and colorful
and that’s how most n-ggas get bit—for being colorful
see, i believe a liar is a f-cking coward
and by the same batch of lies you tell, you get devoured
tryna copy the next man plan. make your own
but i know how it is—when you young, you think you grown
and you wanna be the most popular, follow the latest trend
(what?) mack a lady friend, (what?) push a mercedes benz
but most n-ggas don’t live how they tell you
rather lie on theyself than be considered a failure
but for me, i’d rather be myself and be nothing
than to rise and shine, and i know i’m just fronting
[chorus]
sometimes, life’s been so funny
you never know who’s in your corner
you never know who’s by your side
so don’t be sad
just be aware that’s the way it goes
take control, take control
and let yourself go
follow the footsteps
[? – long sung bit i can’t make out here]
your conscience tries to be your guide
but you refuse to listen (why refuse?)
now tell me how much you will roll
when you get to where you’ve got to go
follow the footsteps
[?]
[verse 2 – m-1]
i love who i am and that means everything to me
‘cause my life ain’t worth a d-mn unless i’m dealing with reality
when i look myself in the eyes, it’s just me
and i ain’t gotta tell n0body no lies, i feel free
and i would rather deal with the truth then falter
than being fake with my people and claiming it’s all good
you can’t run away from yourself, so that’s useless
if your word is bond, then you don’t have to make excuses
excuses, excuses…
[stic.man]
put your best foot forward
and ride the wind
look a man in his pupil
see if he truthful
footsteps
we all on a journey
don’t n0body know why we’re here
we’re just forced to have to deal with the realness
every day
every day of our lives
dead presidents, billy lawrence, [?]
footprints in the sand
one big step for mankind
one big step for mankind…
