[Verse 1]

Man, I was a little shit back in the day

Trouble-maker, crew member when my rappin' was lame

Wanted to be a writer market, hit it, catchin' the train

But I was wack with the hand styles when taggin' with paint

So I moved onto stupid shit, bashings to [?]

Bottles smashed in the face, I hate actin' that way

I'd face jacks in the raid and claim harassment of pain

All good fun but, in the end, I had a passion to chase

I was trapped in the stage of re-hashin' mistakes

Thoughts wasted, court cases were attached to my name

Weed addictions, speed inflictions had me actin' insane

Caught up with me, hands on my head and then collapsed in the rain

Mashed in the haze, wandering, lost track of the days

I was illusive, boozin' up to master fact, I became

Someone that wasn't me, I need to match what I say

Put pen to paper, people now hear all the tracks that I made, uh

[Chorus]

It was like that, I remember every step

Every breath, plenty said, now it's time to keep it movin'

I would strike back, ascending into many depths

Many threats, everywhere, now I strive in seekin' proof

It was like that, I remember every step

Every breath, plenty said, now it's time to keep it movin'

I would strike back, ascending into many depths

Many threats, everywhere, now I strive in seekin' proof

[Verse 2]

My heart was free, but it was hard, you see

You beef with one dude, turn around, you're beefin' with half the scene

People like to talk until your ears are burnin'

I find it weird that you need to have their part intrigued

Start to see demons, even now, got more enemies

No one's got short memories, of course, I fought endlessly

Need to change the perspective and days that I've stepped in

Mistakes and the lessons, the sessions were stressin' me

Came to the point where people thought I liked that life

Got the case on, was just off my face, fighting my

Own demons and [?] drinker's remorse

Sinkin' and thinkin' about these bickerin' wars

And my mission is walk, I've come far in the game

No longer harbour the range, instead I'm after a page

Yeah, I use it [?] and it starts on the stage

My past is my play, carvin' this artist, calmin' the flame, uh

[Chorus]

It was like that, I remember every step

Every breath, plenty said, now it's time to keep it movin'

I would strike back, ascending into many depths

Many threats, everywhere, now I strive in seekin' proof

It was like that, I remember every step

Every breath, plenty said, now it's time to keep it movin'

I would strike back, ascending into many depths

Many threats, everywhere, now I strive in seekin' proof
