Steady (feat. Eddie & Various)

And I'll catch you if you try to fall And I'll reach you if you fall behind These skies will clear and I say Steady Just stay steady Just keep steady I always felt like I was too tall Sweaty faced on a stage as I got booed off And Daddy told me in this world you can't be too soft And all I had was comic books to help me cool off Second hand sneakers in the back seat No need for me to speak if you asked me I watched all the high fives go past me Tryna get ahead when I was so last week Every girl I ever dated never really got it They was more concerned with whether I was making profit Late nights under candlelight making product All I needed was a crowd to tell me I got it Till my hommy told me K.R.Y.T.I.C, man it's time to go And I stepped up on that stage at that talent show It didn't matter if they heard me or they wasn't ready All I had is this little voice telling me steady And I'll catch you if you try to fall And I'll reach you if you fall behind These skies will clear and I say Steady Just stay steady Just keep steady 3ill told me I could be the greatest Eight years later and I hadn't made it Had me thinking maybe I just wasn't dedicated While everyone who freed with me was getting faded Now I'm showing up and knocking at Luki's house Close to a year I was crashing on Luki's couch ZMA's had the internet saying I'm dope And all we had was Bob Marley just to help us cope So now I'm getting up I got a shot to rock the Fest Me and my band tryna prove to them that we're the best My nigga Stretch couldn't make it but Jimo's there We was up against big boys but we don't care I'm back stage now tryna figure if I'm ready Will I let the paranoia that I feel get me I'm tryna channel all my happy thoughts, word to Deffy All I could hear is that voice inside saying steady And I'll catch you if you try to fall And I'll reach you if you fall behind These skies will clear and I say Steady Just stay steady Just keep steady The first time I met K.R.Y.T.I.C was when I was doing a show called The Gate Crushers and I was interviewing him and I didn't like him We started doing radio together. We started the same day I thought that he was an egotistical, smug, overconfident human being. Yup. That's it I thought he was a very overwhelming guy, you know Yo I met this dude at a battle and he struck me as a cocky prick that thought he was the best rapper in Zambia Turns out...turns out he was We both were competing for airtime on radio Self-centered douchebag but really talented nonetheless. You're welcome. I've been a good friend to you for a very long time. Cheers You know, he was full of puns and you know he had the gift of the gab Wow...this dude is skinny You know, well-spoken, intellectual Reasonable Hella, hella dope. Way way way way super talented And irritating at the very same time because he can be overbearing and overwhelming at times A little bit of crazy but that's okay. We all got a little bit of that K.R.Y.T.I.C was and always will be a legend Listened to his music for the longest of times from "Such A Beautiful Thing" to "My Party People Say" and to be honest I was...I was...I was taken aback. I was wowed Came to Lusaka, listened to you on QFM, must've been in grade nine and "Beautiful Thing" was playing and I was like "Damn! This is different!" Highly talented individual...extremely smart Errr...man...genius, focus, talent, heart I like to describe this man as that. Very powerful [Eddie] Rock Steady! Rock Steady I'm ready!

I'll catch you when you fall Catch you when you fall Catch you when you fall
