Abdul - Staircases Lyrics

I've calculated my steps
Making sure I don't regress to my old ways
Hated when I'd second guess
Talking all under my breath ain't have no faith
They want it back it like the old days
Imma tip toe up that staircase
And there ain't no going back
I ain't gon fall off the track
Nigga no way

Its all from the music
It started with us
Success is a must I found it in Houston
Down on my luck
I was down on my luck
But we made it enough
Now you cant stop me
Im on my way up

I'm as uncommon as muslims praying on airplanes
The Black Plague infecting your airways
I'm too real they won't play me on their airwaves
But f*ck em Maine We building our own staircase
From the ghetto garden up to heavens gates
You ain't ever been alive if you ain't felt pain
I feel that shit like everyday on my last name
Abdul aleem til they carve it on my f*cking grave
My pops came from the age where they hanged niggas
And I was fortunate enough to be his offspring
To jump starting these big dreams no trampoline
All drive and will from where we used to be
White folks tryna take me back
Even though the last president was half black
But what's one to 44 I been keeping track
One over 45 you do the math
The odds been against me
But I'm still here Still standing still strong
Like I'm Antwone fishing in the pond
With a dirty lil hook flowing over dirty drums
All-star super man powered by the sun
Nappy haired monkey like goku's son
And big brother Gengis Khan tied in one
What more could you want

I've calculated my steps
Making sure I don't regress to my old ways
Hated when I'd second guess
Talking all under my breath ain't have no faith
They want it back it like the old days
Imma tip toe up that staircase
And there ain't no going back
I ain't gon fall off the track
Nigga no way

Its all from the music
It started with us
Success is a must I found it in Houston
Down on my luck
I was down on my luck
But we made it enough
Now you cant stop me
Im on my way up
