Step Left, Step Right Lyrics

Gang culture and growing pains

Loyalty, no cracks just to say it plain

Them days shaped me but what they did more was prepare

Me to face faze two, leave the nest face fear

Step left, step right

Pick a side cause either way it's a fight

Step forward get pushed back

From there how you react

Step left, step right

Pick a side cause either way it's a fight

Step forward get pushed back

From there how you react

Step left, step right

Step forward get pushed back

From there how you react

Struggle ain't nothing new to me

Born at six months, life fighting out the womb ya see

Beat the incubator, now joining my mother's other cubs

Well received, fuck the words, I felt the love

Over the years it clouded but never faded

And when ever needing a boost those feelings I replay em

Now a young black youth in a city of angels lost

I was blessed with two wings and neither has fell off

Since LaSalle Elementary, a three part symphony

No harmonized, better than what's meant to be

Remembering the genesis, staring into infinity

Us back in one room, all hand holding the mini me

Then was some good days

Many triumphs, many tragedies on 88th place

Celebrated or hurdled It's clearer in sight hind

Mind, unconditional love And until the end of time

Through poverty Gang culture and growing pains

Loyalty, no cracks Just to say it plain

Them days shaped But what they did more was prepare

Me the face, faze two leave the nest, face fear, I'm here
