Step by Step

Текст песни

[Verse 1] I count the rent twice, fold the notice in my coat Bus brakes sigh while the rain taps out a note Corner shop receipt, coffee cooling in my hand I make a map from every place I had to stand No borrowed crown, no shortcut in the plan Just a stubborn little spark and a calloused hand Each closed door taught the hinge where it could bend I keep my word when the easy roads all end [Chorus] Step by step, let the whole block know Still on my feet when the cold winds blow No gold trim, just a heart that holds I turn hard days into something I own [Verse 2] Old stairwell, paint chipped blue beside the rail My brother says, “Keep going,” through a cracked phone tail We split one meal and laughed about the week Then I wrote down every promise I could keep The city sells a dream with the price left out I learned what staying steady is about From back-row silence to the front-page proof I built my name one honest brick at a time, no roof [Chorus] Step by step, let the whole block know Still on my feet when the cold winds blow No gold trim, just a heart that holds I turn hard days into something I own [Outro] Step by step, every mark, every mile Still here, still building, still wearing that smile
