[Verse 1: Murs] What if I could ice down all of my tears
Would my face be covered in diamonds from ear to ear
Would real n***as respect me then
Will some of these white girls wanna be more than my friend
If I could take all of my tears and cry them into a chain
I wonder how many million more followers I’d gain
I bet my socials be super lit
It wouldn’t even matter what type of vocals that I have to spit
I could turn all this salty water that fell from my eyes into some diamond karats
Then when I cry in public I could finally do so without having someone tell me I should feel embarra**ed
Cause I’m not
And I cried a whole lot when I filed a divorce and when the homie got shot
And not one time did I laugh at Tyrese’s tears
Cause when I was separated from my son I cried every day for almost a year
And at near the end of that year span I was filled with joy
Cause my new fiance and I were expecting a baby boy
But after 40 weeks he was born without a heartbeat
Still we chose to march forward instead of retreat
[Hook: Murs] I put one foot in front of the next
Even when it seemed impossible to take the next step
I put one foot in front of the next
Even when it felt like God had his foot on my chest
I put one foot in front of the next
Even when it felt like I couldn’t take another breath
I put one foot in front of the next
Cause life is just a battle in the shadow of d**h
[Verse 2: Murs] We bury Pooh in the very same day
They called us said they wanna take my baby away
I beat the case but I didn’t meet the eyes
I got so many questions when I finally meet god
Like why you make it so hard
Why you even let me try
Why my marriage couldn’t work
Why you let my baby die
I apologize for not
You about to hear a lot
This is not really music it’s me dealing with my thoughts
It was breathe trauma (huh) breathe trauma (huh) breathe trauma (huh) breathe
It’s hard to k** the drama when the trauma won’t leave
So if karma does exist I find it hard to believe
Cause if you reap what you sow
I didn’t sow these seeds
I need a Grammy for the damage, platinum plaque as a vantage
A couple healthy kids before I start to understand it
But because the fans demand it and the label said I should
I put it all into these songs and the hopes its understood
[Hook: Murs] I put one foot in front of the next
Even when it seemed impossible to take the next step
I put one foot in front of the next
Even when it felt like God had his foot on my chest
I put one foot in front of the next
Even when it felt like I couldn’t take another breath
I put one foot in front of the next
Cause life is just a battle in the shadow of d**h
[Outro: Robots&Balloons]:
I’ve been crawling up the side of a mountain
Problems, they got me falling back down
Know this, all the flames ill put em down
And know ima climb out
I’ve been crawling up the side of a mountain
Problems, they got me falling back down
Know this, all the flames ill put em down
And know ima climb out
