malik baptiste - something in the pavement lyrics

Loading...

[intro: don cannon]
home is where the heart is
but on the roads less travelled
its just a continuous search
for the life you never had
malik

[verse 1: malik baptiste]
i got a new sole, placed on my jordan ones
don’t have many words say just important ones
im coming in from outta state, like imported ones
moving out in la, to rise like the morning sun

and it ain’t easy, but i said it, so it’s set in motion
i can’t negotiate my dream but i read your notion
i bled an ocean, from biting my tongue
i bled an ocean, an ocean from biting my tongue

i’m beginning to see the cracks in thе pavement
just enough for a seed, plus i gotta stay hеre
how they aim to deceive, yup you gotta pray here
i didn’t know at the time but he is not ok here

because i’m tryna be great, iconic
i’m hungry with a lot on my plate, ironic
i need communion if ain’t too late, the tonic
it’s heavy but i’m pushing the weight, i got it
[chorus: malik baptiste]
something in the pavement, keep your shoes on
something’s lucking under, it’s been too long
something in the pavement, keep your shoes on
something’s lucking under, it’s been too long

[refrain: malik baptiste]
i been fed up
i can’t say enough
i been fed up
imma flare it up

[verse 2: malik baptiste]
thinking bout the past out in la
your grandfather passed in the streets of san hose
cause he couldn’t ask for help, was his pride in the way
seems pain don’t wait, it goes out of its way

preying on us until every dog is a stray
or a chain and whip teaches how to behave
i’ve got family stories i wouldn’t dare to restate
but sometimes i feel i’m headed there to that place

every blow tryna take my soul, but i’m bill withers
a couple walls might fall but we build bigger
tryna white out my pain but we still n+ggas
got some trauma to face, i build my shield bigger
idk how we got here
all i know is that i finally got a shot here
all i need to know if there’s little bit of god
and all you need to know is this is not fear

[chorus: malik baptiste]
something in the pavement, keep your shoes on
something’s lucking under, it’s been too long
something in the pavement, keep your shoes on
something’s lucking under, it’s been too long

[refrain: malik baptiste]
i been fed up
i can’t say enough
i been fed up
imma flare it up
