Keep Both Feet Down

Lyrics

[Intro] Walk in calm, let the room catch up One clean move, no need to rush [Verse 1] Pressed white shirt, cuff links in the case I learned to read a room by the look on its face Small talk sweet, but the numbers stay plain I keep my word when the weather turns rain First train out with a notebook in hand A few good people and a workable plan No borrowed shine, no shortcut claim Put in the hours, then remember each name [Chorus] Keep your balance when the tables turn Make your own lane, let the lesson burn Say what you mean, then stand by the sound Build it up steady, keep both feet down [Verse 2] Back room meeting, coffee gone cold Everybody wants the story they can sell I take the long view, make the terms clear Give credit where it’s due, keep the good ones near Some doors open, some close on cue A quiet little no can carry you through I don’t chase applause, I don’t force the frame I leave with my people and a clearer name [Chorus] Keep your balance when the tables turn Make your own lane, let the lesson burn Say what you mean, then stand by the sound Build it up steady, keep both feet down [Bridge] If the room gets loud, take a breath, take stock A strong foundation doesn’t need a clock What you make matters, how you treat folks too Keep the promise that you made when nobody knew [Final Chorus] Keep your balance when the tables turn Make your own lane, let the lesson burn Say what you mean, then stand by the sound Build it up steady, keep both feet down [Outro] No need to rush Keep both feet down
