Chorus
Walking steps to thoughts ahead of time
Thinkin' before I fall I want people to see through my eyes
To feel my emotion through each stroke of the pen
To imagine the ground I walked on ever since I lived
Verse 1
I pray that I get to touch that stage I want to
Having rain pour outside that pavilion
In attendance of a million
Signing albums that became so intimate
Throwing all my fears out that gate
Cuz the people would understand what I felt when I lived in many states
They'd know that time when I walked the bridge
Each stone of it would bring the cool chill to the spine
So cold my two hands too numb I could barely write
My lips moving but no words came out
Praying that I move closer to the sun in the south
But I was frozen in the insecurities of life, insecurities of time
Thinking my knees could soon give out due to the miles I've walked
I spent that time to think to myself as I talked
Tryna discover facts from true and false
So hard cuz my heart is slowing the pulse
Verse 2
Still looking through my eyes even though things are blurred
So much is of concern
Cuz I have the CD I imagined in my veins
Yet I question when I'll be able to release it
Cuz tomorrow is not promised
Paying homage to the lord in the skies
Give me a clue of how to unfold these stories
I want to find that staircase in my visions
To touch the steps of my future before I die
Touching the walls of record shops
Eyes to the windows seeing "Stairways" on shelves
The price lower than the dollar twelve
Cuz I want the people to know I've walked some of the same steps they have
On sidewalks after watching so many cars pass
To your mind it makes that broken glass impact
Cells of your brain begin to form a pact
Chorus
Walking steps to thoughts ahead of time
Thinkin' before I fall I want people to see through my eyes
To feel my emotion through each stroke of the pen
To imagine the ground I walked on ever since I lived
Verse 3
Hoping these lines and lines of these lyrics stay alive
Cuz if tonight is my last night I want my words to last a lifetime
To be way more than what money can buy
Life is like when dreams and nightmares collide
So I'm going to make art so fine
So smooth to the delicacy
A new breath to my legacy
Built on top of a degree
My hands not on the gin, a sigh of relief
Not drowning in my sorrows to that belief
Words not hollowed when I try to speak
This is my soul when I vent
For my sins I repent
The chains aren't that burden
Verse 4
I write till its my time to shine
Each year gaining wisdom from the vine
Learning from the kind and unkind
All while sitting by the curbside
A castle of my own design
Living each day to the minute and the night
The lamp at my desk is the light
Old school mind as I write in the empty spaces through the lines
I never like to feel confined
I think and look to my heart
My lifestyle I wear it
Dreams to the realness I see it
Chorus
Walking steps to thoughts ahead of time
Thinkin' before I fall I want people to see through my eyes
To feel my emotion through each stroke of the pen
To imagine the ground I walked on ever since I lived
