Kam Moye (Supastition) - Step By Step [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

*Track left off his album 'Spitting Image'

[Hook]:
Now I know it's gonna take me a minute
I'mma move up step by step
I might have to go the extra mile, might take a lil' while
I'mma move up step by step
I'mma do it one step at a time
I'mma do it one step at a time
I might have to go the extra mile, might take a lil' while
I'mma move up step by step

[Verse One]:
Nowadays I predicted sunny forecasts
No dark clouds over me, that means more cash
More respect in the bucket there's no more crabs
The whole team is eatin'
If they ain't as hungry as me they get the FEMA treatment
Cause that scene is leechin'
Around the nation tryin' to build a foundation where the ground and the green is equal
I try to warn fools
Try to educate, try to teach 'em about Reform School
They thought I was gon' lose
But now they see the way I generate buzz
I see a lot of fair weather friends with fake love
Now I'mma make a pledge we gon' all break bread
But everyone ain't eatin' off my dinner plate cause
If I hit rock bottom then how many gon' be there?
They'll be covering their ears and their eyes will be closed
My family is here so there is nothing I fear
Real fam fuck with me through my highs and my lows
Walk with me

[Hook]:
Now I know it's gonna take me a minute
I'mma move up step by step
I might have to go the extra mile, might take a lil' while
I'mma move up step by step
I'mma do it one step at a time
I'mma do it one step at a time
I might have to go the extra mile, might take a lil' while
I'mma move up step by step

[Verse Two]:
Rappers nowadays they straight fight for space on your hard drive
Me? I'd rather have a place in the archive
These new soldiers want vets to move over
So they gon' stoop lower than the bass in the car they drive
I got goals and I'm tryin' to accomplish 'em
For my kids I'mma show pride and confidence
Pride and consciousness
Every time I try to build dreams get killed on that divide and conquer shit
The oldest trick in the book
It's still the same game despite of how different it looks
Where I'm from, naysayers praise some then belittle thee others
And treat you like bums if you ain't Little B.rother
You serious motherfucker?
Cause I don't see the logic in it
And you can quote me on this and you can document it
But I will not quit
I will eat, I'm determined like Uma Thurman in Kill Bill with them chopsticks

[Hook]:
Now I know it's gonna take me a minute
I'mma move up step by step
I might have to go the extra mile, might take a lil' while
I'mma move up step by step
I'mma do it one step at a time
I'mma do it one step at a time
I might have to go the extra mile, might take a lil' while
I'mma move up step by step

[Verse Three]:
Somebody said if I wasn't funded by dope money or coke money
Vocally there is no hope for me
What's so funny?
I'm supposed to be broke, bummy
But I got a list of countries holdin' for shows from me
Eventually, maybe the capital comes
The love that I receive from my state: capital's none
They say I'm practically done
Tell me, why in other places
I peak high interest like Capitol One?
As far as heat, I'm only raked second after the sun
My show fee should be the same price Accura runs
They say the city ain't mine
I'm more concerned with the CD you buyin'
How many times really did it rewind?
It's all peace with me
Intelligence and skill flow equally
Sadly your own people see, "Is Kam tryin' to be Kweli?"
I ain't tryin' to rival him, what them herbs talkin' 'bout?
Puttin' words in my mouth like a subtitled film
Or overdub

[Hook]:
Now I know it's gonna take me a minute
I'mma move up step by step
I might have to go the extra mile, might take a lil' while
I'mma move up step by step
I'mma do it one step at a time
I'mma do it one step at a time
I might have to go the extra mile, might take a lil' while
I'mma move up step by step
