I was mainly sad
I was rarely glad but y'all couldn't see
Burnin' all these bridges
That I built to keep me from the sea
Latency, people I love closest put they stakes in me
If they saw my change in actions
They might start replacing me
Y'all was supposed to keep my world together
When it starts to quake
Tryna hold my shattered dreams alone
Was somethin' I couldn't take
Led me down a course of action
Typically I'd never make
And maybe it was a mistake

I remember all the late nights
Stressin' over problems I couldn't control
Tryna fix them was always the goal
Things that were out of my hands
Always dug into my soul
Slowly created a hole
Till I started sayin' it is what it is
And kept on repeatin' the phrase
Knowin' I ain't got the power to do what I wanna
Why stress anyways
Had to get out my feelings
Put on a smile
So I don't stress out my folks
It's tradition to speak on the demons you fightin'
And then play it off as a joke

Step, step, step by step
Take it step by step by step
You gotta let it go
Step, step, step by step
Take it step by step by step
Accept that it is what it is
Step, step by step
Take it step by step by step
You gotta let it go
Step, step, step by step
Cuz it is what it is

I come from a culture where it is tradition to dance for the dead
And bury the body the following morning
The sequence will mess with my head
As a child, I ain't understand
But the spirits are helping me learn
Same reason people tend to bury the body
Or put the ashes in the urn
We act differently when we in grief
Then you combo that pain with belief
And then hope that it gets you relief
And then hope that it gives you relief
In Naija, see we typically dance
Or you sat at a table with tears
See me when I am given the chance
I step for my fam and my peers

I hope when you hear this lil' melody
It gets you onto your feet
I hope that you listen and dance to the beat
I hope that you think of me fondly
And it makes you wanna repeat
I hope you accept me admitting defeat
I hope you accept that my time was complete
If I'm being honest, I'm having regrets on the loss
But I cannot come back and compete

I hope when you hear this lil' melody
It gets you onto your feet
I hope that you listen and dance to the beat
I hope that you think of me fondly
And it makes you wanna repeat
I hope you accept me admitting defeat
I hope you accept that my time was complete
If I'm being honest, I'm having regrets on the loss
But I cannot come back and compete

Step, step, step by step
Take it step by step by step
You gotta let it go
Step, step, step by step
Take it step by step by step
Accept that it is what it is
Step, step by step
Take it step by step by step
You gotta let it go
Step, step, step by step
Cause it is what it is
