One Way Street

I don't ever look back
It's in the past it can stay where it's at
No take backs
It's a strict motto
People that hit the lotto
See bravado
Every night at the Apollo
The haters I know
Never grew beyond the hood
Debate if you wanna
I get the getting while it's good
Create what I wanna
That part is still misunderstood
Relate to the drama
That come with wishing you could
Your fears tact's in the backpack
I'm past that
Moving with class
Til your dapping turn into clap backs
Know that it's sad how best friends lead to stabbed backs
Blood on the tracks as tears falling on the notepad
I'm goat status
My notes, they quote static
That kind of hate feeds on itself
But don't panic
It's two steps, forwards
No steps back
It's up to you where you end up at

You gotta go two steps forwards
No steps back
Know that things gon change
But you can't look back
Sometimes you gotta pray
And know that your blessings on the way
You gotta go two steps forwards
No steps back
Know that things gon change
But you can't look back
Sometimes you gotta pray
And know that your blessings on the way

I be pretending like I'm okay but I'm not
And I know I need to rest but I just can't stop
Cause when I, look at a clock
I get scared that time passes
Single at 17 turned to single at 26
Constantly making music but never landing a hit
Saying life is a puzzle I'm wondering if I fit
Invited me to the table but didn't leave room to sit
I'm trynna help too many it's leaving my body ill
Mama isn't used to me having to pop a pill
Praying that my check still enough to pay all the bills
More than the music or trying to sign a deal
My soul at stake if I don't get this right
You know the saying bout the lightning
How it don't strike twice
Well it's got to
Cause I can't afford if it don't
Might take a break
But the quitting, man you know that I won't

You gotta go two steps forwards
No steps back
Know that things gon change
But you can't look back
Sometimes you gotta pray
And know that your blessings on the way
You gotta go two steps forwards
No steps back
Know that things gon change
But you can't look back
Sometimes you gotta pray
And know that your blessings on the way

You gotta go two steps forwards
No steps back
Know that things gon change
But you can't look back
Sometimes you gotta pray
And know that your blessings on the way
You gotta go two steps forwards
No steps back
Know that things gon change
But you can't look back
Sometimes you gotta pray
And know that your blessings on the way
