Текст песни Half Steps - The Emsee

See they wonder why I'm mad stressed
You can't find a path to success on MapQuest
Create your own address
And if you're lucky and you find it
Shine 'cause so many folks are blinded
To this mountain that I'm climbing

See my people went and gave this up
They never made a buck with me, I never gave a fuck
Told to make it in this game I needed faith and luck
Ain't my lucky charms guess I never prayed enough

Far wise I raised it up enough
The next time you try to take a jump
You would never make it up right you chumps
I take a dump on your album after I pirate it
'Cause if you're not half as nice as me I'm not buying it

I'm not a hater
I can't have a career when my competition's granted more than I make in a year
My fears turn to panic
When I panic I damage anything that's in my way
This display is just my way of bearing out to y'all
What's really on my mind
Say I have an old song
No I just value time
And lately I've been dwelling
I haven't been recording
I'm trying to be responsible

But y'all think I'm ignoring my dreams
You see my dreams have been completed
Daddy saw me rock in front of 40,000 people
Saw me on TV and heard everybody screaming
But seeing him smile is what gave my life a meaning
I'm far from finished
But when he left it took a part of me
So pardon me but moving forward's pretty hard for me
You think I give a shit if I ain't on that Twitter shit
I felt like I was limitless
But lately it's just bitterness

Fuck y'all who turned your back when I was down and out
I had my goals but you had your doubts
Now I'm back and I ain't backing out
So if I can't get my shine on, the whole fucking scene here is blacking out
Go around ask about how I can pack a room full of people
Make them laugh about the shit you rap about
It's real life
And I'll sign an affidavit stating every statement I've ever created was never fabricated

I'm not angry, I'm showing y'all the side of me I tried to hide
See I gave it a little privacy but now it's in the open
And I'm so focused that even the smallest dose of my opus could cause an over dosage
I'm just too ferocious but that's logical I have to be this way in order to be unstoppable
I'd like to write all the little things that inspire me
But also shedding light on how fucked up this life could be

I was the role model
No negativity
That got me on TV
But the rest of y'all took a shit on me
I had nothing left to write
Every night trying to rhyme
But it's like the hands of time gave me left and right
Plan to burn bright, can't ignite
I'm trying to paint a picture
Y'all want a record that's the panda type
And I just finished it now
The master of bad hands when the chips are all down

Wow, better late than never
But sometimes shit gets delayed by bad weather
So sorry if it feels like forever
'Cause I bet on myself and things slowly got better
I just need to remember

The next time life gets mad stressed
It'll pass like my very last math test
It's okay to hit a wall just like a crash test
Move forward even if it's just a half step
