| What if I could ice down all of my tears
|
| Would my face be covered in diamonds from ear to ear?
|
| Would real niggas respect me then?
|
| Will some of these white girls wanna be more than my friend?
|
| If I could take all of my tears and cry them into a chain
|
| I wonder how many million more followers I’d gain
|
| I bet my socials would be super lit
|
| It wouldn’t even matter what type of vocals that I have to spit
|
| I could turn all this salty water that fell from my eyes into some diamond
|
| karats
|
| Then when I cry in public I could finally do so without having someone tell me
|
| I should feel embarrassed
|
| 'Cause I’m not and I cried a whole lot
|
| When I filed a divorce and when the homie got shot
|
| And not one time did I laugh at Tyrese’s tears
|
| 'Cause when I was separated from my son I cried every day for almost a year
|
| And at near the end of that year span I was filled with joy
|
| 'Cause my new fiance and I were expecting a baby boy
|
| But after 40 weeks he was born without a heartbeat
|
| Still we chose to march forward instead of retreat
|
| I put one foot in front of the next
|
| Even when it seemed impossible to take the next step
|
| I put one foot in front of the next
|
| Even when it felt like God had his foot on my chest
|
| I put one foot in front of the next
|
| Even when it felt like I couldn’t take another breath
|
| I put one foot in front of the next
|
| 'Cause life is just a battle in the shadow of death
|
| We bury Pooh, and the very same day
|
| They called us said they wanna take my baby away
|
| I beat the case but I didn’t beat the odds
|
| I got so many questions when I finally meet God
|
| «Like why you make it so hard? |
| Why you even let me try?
|
| Why my marriage couldn’t work? |
| Why you let my baby die?»
|
| I apologize or not, you about to hear a lot
|
| This is not really music, it’s me dealing with my thoughts
|
| It was breathe trauma (huh), breathe trauma (huh), breathe trauma (huh), breathe
|
| It’s hard to kill the drama when the trauma won’t leave
|
| So if karma does exist I find it hard to believe
|
| 'Cause if you reap what you sow, I didn’t sow these seeds
|
| I need a Grammy for the damage, platinum plaque as a bandage
|
| A couple healthy kids before I start to understand it
|
| But because the fans demand it and the label said I should
|
| I put it all into these songs and the hopes its understood
|
| I put one foot in front of the next
|
| Even when it seemed impossible to take the next step
|
| I put one foot in front of the next
|
| Even when it felt like God had his foot on my chest
|
| I put one foot in front of the next
|
| Even when it felt like I couldn’t take another breath
|
| I put one foot in front of the next
|
| 'Cause life is just a battle in the shadow of death
|
| I’ve been crawling up the side of a mountain
|
| Problems, they got me falling back down
|
| Know this, all the flames I’ll put em down
|
| And know I’ma climb out
|
| I’ve been crawling up the side of a mountain
|
| Problems, they got me falling back down
|
| Know this, all the flames ill put em down
|
| And know I’ma climb out |
