B.Reith - 2 Steps Forward lyrics

rate me

[Hook]

I take 2 steps forward, 5 steps back

Lately I’ve been lazy like the way mace rap

I’m lazy like the way johhny cash used to sing

Maybe lately that’s the reason cash ain’t be coming in

No excuse I’m learning how to lose cause

That’s the only way to fine tune and make improvements

Critics keep on chippin in they 2 cents

But they got the record for free, shoot

Nowadays music’s like sewage, nasty and polluted

Over saturated, I don’t want nothing to do with it

Somebody asked the question who my influence is

I go back to the 90’s and tell em brand nubian

Gave radio a shot I got but got fooled again

All it is is a bunch of hooting hollering hooligans

Crying like babies, acting like they 2 again

Pardon my rudeness but you, ruin my moon

I don’t just do this for food, there’s more to it than the music

So I gotta be intuitive to use this

Gift, it’s like fluid when it oozes

But writers block a gridlock like I leave the clueless

My ambition to use and not abuse

It me when I groove, it’s like mechanics without they toolkits

[Hook]

I take 2 steps forward, 5 steps back

Lately I’ve been lazy like the way mace rap

I’m lazy like the way johhny cash used to sing

Maybe lately that’s the reason cash ain’t be coming in

Industry try to play me, left me with some bruises

Must have thought I was stupider than the 3 stooges

They tried to hang me and slipped out of they looses

So I pulled the chris brown and throwing up my deuces

Down size like the rice to cush cush

But that light weight bullet proof truth in the booth

Cooped up for months tryina spit fire they can ride to

Pull up to that drive thru, tell em this dat new dude

True, can I really get more clear?

Make it boom so loud shake your rearview mirror

Unless you got car speakers like the ones I owned

Had to penn it to left cause the right one was blown

You ridin on chrome? I was ridin on plastic

Two of em were cracked cause I hit a curb distracted

Yea, but it ain't no big deal

I may not have a nice whip but I still have whip appeal

[Hook]

I take 2 steps forward, 5 steps back

Lately I’ve been lazy like the way mace rap

I’m lazy like the way johhny cash used to sing

Maybe lately that’s the reason cash ain’t be coming in

steps forward, 5 steps back, steps forward, 5 steps back

steps forward, 5 steps back, 5 steps back, 5 steps back,

Alright alright I write raps for a livin, perhaps I've been given

A gift that is envied by mathematicians

But are we that different? We both work in labs

While they dissect formulas I dissect rhythms

But I don't get paid much and that'll keep you humble son

Radio won't play me much, that's causin me troublesome

People wanna nay say, play me like a dummy dumb

Tried to shut me down so I Dikembe Mutumbo'd 'em

Backhand it right back at 'em like Wimbledon

That's for trying to tell me what I shouldn't have or should have done

Anyway my time it will come I can smell it from a mile away like cinnabon.
