Lyrics

I didn't know what to expect
When I got the news/
When she said your going to be a dad I got confused/
I didn't know what to do but I had to move/
And what I earned wasn't enough it had to improve/
I wasn't willing to lose all the dreams that I had/
But I put them on hold to be a husband and a dad
I was working in the night time
Sleeping in the day time
and in my car I was struggling to write rhymes
My manager was thinking we should go our separate ways
and every moment there was just another bill to pay
sorry there's just no money for studio today
I felt like Pac hoping for better days
God help to accept the things I just don't understand
Cause what I thought would happen never went just how I plan
I don't know where exactly that it is I'm going to land
But when my life is out of hand I know its in your hands

Chorus

1 step, 2 step, 3 step, 4 step
Im on the grind from the time I leave my doorstep
If you got a dream that your willing to go get
It starts right here right now with One Step

1 step, 2 step, 3 step, 4 step
I'm on the grind from the time I leave my doorstep
Now hear me loud and clear this year I'm going to get
One step closer to a place I've never been yet

2nd Verse

Now at the moment I'm still living in debt/
I got expectations and hopes that need to be met
I got responsibilities that I choose not to neglect/
A wife and a son whom I love and I cannot forget/
I try to think like a soldier/ pushing past boulders
and everyday I get up I feel much older/ The clocks
ticking I don't want to be counted out/
I want my music in stores so people can sell it out/
Now lately its been hard fighting doubt/yelling out
wondering why people see my struggle and don't help me out/
If your an artist than you know what I'm talking bout/
I know your busy with your fan base dog/
I just thought maybe me and you
could have some dialogue/ do some work together and that you'd reply to my blog/
I'm looking for clear skies but your giving me fog/ I don't know what to do now but I'm making it some how/

Chorus

1 step, 2 step, 3 step, 4 step
Im on the grind from the time I leave my doorstep
If you got a dream that your willing to go get
It starts right here right now with One Step

1 step, 2 step, 3 step, 4 step
I'm on the grind from the time I leave my doorstep
Now hear me loud and clear this year I'm going to get
One step closer to a place I've never been yet

3rd Verse

What can I say man the people are talking the birds are busy and I hear the dogs are barking/ They want to know who he is and what's the hype and if he's here by day will he be gone by night/ Is he ahead of his time/ Is this really his prime, is his style too old or is he too behind/ or is he something like a fine wine better with the years/ better with the pressure, that made him better with his peers/ Time will tell
believe when I drop they'll say he fell/ just like a shooting star, are you wishing me well/ I'm wishing the best for you and your dreams, no matter how big or how small they seem/

Chorus

1 step, 2 step, 3 step, 4 step
Im on the grind from the time I leave my doorstep
If you got a dream that your willing to go get
It starts right here right now with One Step

1 step, 2 step, 3 step, 4 step
I'm on the grind from the time I leave my doorstep
Now hear me loud and clear this year I'm going to get
One step closer to a place I've never been yet
