TREAD LIGHT

[Verse 1]
Trapped in a thought, mind spilling remorse
He said the pain that I see will fill up my corpse
Found feelings and lost, I found ceilings and torched
The structure of these buildings, no more dying in box
I keep thinking outside, he keep drinking down pride
I keep sipping and the wisdom of the damned come to mind
You know the ones that you miss, cause death took the grip
And I can feel him coming close and I just hope I don't slip
Nah, tell me can I speak with it? Come to peace with it
I do fathom not having the life that he acquitted
The natural pattern a eulogy with a speech limit
And I be worried my timе is up when this speech finish
I see it often but could nevеr pick the re visit
I tread light that can be tough, but I see vision
A new life, no handcuffs, no police singing
A siren song but all I hear is the streets living
Tell me did I step right?

[Verse 2]
Did I envision my demise every time I thought of death?
I know my mama worried, I know my father be stressed
But I just need a reason see, see with a level head
At times I look to you in these moments that I neglect
I know you pray for me and religion ain't even yours
But I'll be fine, my little cousin, if you're needed, I will call
For now you go write a verse for every word that I involved
Inside of these songs I wrote, I could never see beyond
Our small town, I know that I could lose it all now
And if I'm being honest I'm more fearful of the law now
Than death itself, door down, I'm letting it in
I know that clarity will come for you when you take a min
As you embrace your loss remember you at risk of it all
When everything is said and done, I hope you loved and you fought
And in a moment that you slip, you adjust to the fall
Don't be fearful of the journey, but just watch where you walk
Step right

[Verse 3]
Did I step right? Did I tread light?
Or did I fall into the void that we be met by?
You see the cheque fly? I've seen the rest die
These distractions do keep me distant from next life
I know it too well, I've seen it before
It's been 80,000 years and we still hit the wall
I look for you inside a drug house like that was your call
I'm wishing for you in a dug out, I'm playing the sport
I'm hitting stage like "What the fuck?" now, when will you call?
I need release, I might just jump now, could do with the fall
I need release, I might just jump now, could do with the fall
I need release, I might just jump now, could do with the fall
You took my uncle, didn't take me, knowing he named me
And now my mama back to selling for the safety
I said I'm worried for my brother inside of a world that changed me
Worried 'bout my sister inside of a world that taints me
Hate me, but you make me who I am
And as I'm searching for the peace, I will always be within
I know you always be without, I will always be within
So right before I do end, telling you once again

[Verse 4]
I will step right, I will tread light
And I will overcome the barriers I'm met by
I take my fathers last name and get it set right
I turn our stolen into golden in their next life
I will tread light, I will step right
I will tread light, but I will step right
I will tread light, but I will step right
I will tread light, but I will step
