One Step Ahead

It's obvious what you came to do
I'm standing right in front of you
You're acting funny for a hype or two
You're not the only one who's got an Attitude
Sometimes you gotta blow 'em off
So you're not taken too advantage of
The least you do is give 'em pep talks
It's not everything I gotta mention Bruv
I love what I do
It's why I ain't losing to you
I ain't planning to be number 2

If I should die before my time,
Imma let you know you'd be Surprised
To see the things I've done in plain Sight
Deception is a must to stay alive
Since the inception of my time I Never lied

I'm sorry I've been rude to you
Seems to me to be the only way to Get through to you
We both know I've done a lot of Things I ain't proud of
It's no excuse for you to walk around And run your mouth off
What the fuck you celebrating?
I don't believe that's elevating
I feel you need some motivation
To get the edge off the hating
Look at me with the truth
I had to lie to bend the rules
Cause I ain't planning to be number 2

If I should die before my time,
Imma let you know you'd be Surprised
To see the things I've done in plain Sight
Deception is a must to stay alive
Since the inception of my time I Never lied

I'm only one step ahead of pondering
One step ahead of misery
One step is all I had to take
Backwards to be the same old fool for You I used to be
I'm only...

Here we go, here we go
Disturbing noise from ashore
A lot of kids I gotta mentor
It ain't easy being an artist anymore
It's what I wanted since I came
You can't hide from the fame
Don't look at me like it's a shame

If I should die before my time,
Imma let you know you'd be Surprised
To see the things I've done in plain Sight
Deception is a must to stay alive
Since the inception of my time I Never lied

Cause one step ahead is a step too far Away from you
Cause one step ahead is a step too far Away from you
Just one step ahead is a step too far Away from you
One step ahead is a step too far away From you
