Baby Steps

Every time I pick myself up I see changes are a part of me
I see changes are a way I can get back to all the promises
(With the baby steps, with the baby steps)
Had to make this thing work for me, no apologies
So step by step by step, this is the way I hear it calling me
(With the baby steps, with the baby steps)

I trust that fear is an illusion
I'm sick of the bamboozling
I must know what I am choosing
No more the mandem are losing

Still haunted by mares of a past life
Horse powered wraps had me living the fast life
I swerved left and left it, wasn't serving my heart right
Now I can joke about things I did on a dark night
Fear I might tear if I don't smile
Sins of the father, had me scared for my child
I couldn't bear the thought of going back to that old crime
But I'm blessed now, the sun screams, black lives shine

I hope that my efforts were seen
And my intentions were felt
I hope that nothing was in vain
I'm tryna walk it out well
I know that nothings wasted
In this battle we're embracing
I need that strength from within
Cus now I'm gonna face it
It's the pain of generations

If I knew what the future holds
Would life still be exciting?
If I knew what the future holds
Would life still be exciting?

If I knew what the future holds
I know that's why I'm fighting
If I knew what the future holds
It's not always in my timing

Sometimes it seems impossible to break the chains
But I know I'm the one that has to make a way
(With the baby steps, with the baby steps)
I'm accepted and I don't care how long it is
Cus step by step I'll walk it out to see the promises
(With the baby steps, with the baby steps)

I never knew it'd be as good as this
I never knew I'd make through the storm
I'm sure, that it would be the same for me and mine
And you and yours

With the baby steps, with the baby steps
With the baby steps, baby steps
(I never knew how good it could be)
With the baby steps, with the baby steps
(I never knew how good it could be)
With the baby steps, with the baby steps
