B. Reith - 2 Steps Forward Lyrics

Send "2 Steps Forward" ringtone to your cell

I take 2 steps forward, 5 steps back

Lately I've been lazy like the way Mase rapped

Or lazy like the way Johnny Cash used to sing

Maybe lately that's the reason cash ain't been comin' in

No excuses I'm learnin' how to lose 'cause

That's the only way to fine tune and make improvements

Critics keep on chippin' in their two cents

But they got their record for free- shoot-

Nowadays music's like sewage, nasty and polluted

Over saturated I don't want nothin' to do with it

So when they ask the question who my influence is

I go back to the 90s and tell 'em Brand Nubian

Gave radio a shot but got fooled again

All it is is a bunch of hootin' hollerin' hooligans

Cryin' like babies, actin' like they two again

Pardon my rudeness but ya ruined my mood I don't just

Do this for food there's more to it than the music

So I got be intuitive to use this

Gift, it's like fluid when it oozes

But writers block will gridblock and leave you clueless

My ambition's to use and not abuse it

Me without grooves is like mechanics without their toolkits

Can't work without my tools, man

I take 2 steps forward, 5 steps back

Lately I've been lazy like the way Mase rapped

Or lazy like the way Johnny Cash used to sing

Maybe lately that's the reason cash ain't been comin' in

Industry tried to play me, left me with some bruises

Must have thought I was stupider than the Three Stooges

They tried to hang me I slipped out of their nooses

So I pulled a Chris Brown, I'm throwin' up my deuces

Downsized like rice to couscous

Spit that lightweight bullet-proof truth in the booth

Cooped up for months tryin' to spit fiyah they can ride to

Pull up to that drive thru, tell 'e this dat new dude!

True, can I really get more clear?

Make it boom so loud shake your rearview mirror

Unless you got car speakers like the ones I owned

Had to pain it to left 'cause the right one was blown

You ridin on chrome? I was ridin' on plastic

Two of 'em were cracked 'cause I hit a curb distracted

Yea, but it ain't no big deal

I may not have a nice whip but I still have whip appeal

I take 2 steps forward, 5 steps back

Lately I've been lazy like the way Mase rapped

Or lazy like the way Johnny Cash used to sing

Maybe lately that's the reason cash ain't been comin' in

Alright alright I write raps for a livin', perhaps I've been given

A gift that is envied by mathematicians

But are we that different? We both work in labs

While they dissect formulas I dissect rhythms

But I don't get paid much and that'll keep you humble son

Radio won't play me much, that's causin' me trouble some

People wanna nay-say, play me like a dumby-dumb

Tried to shut me down so I Dikembe Mutumbo'd 'em

Backhand it right back at 'em like Wimbledon

That's for trying to tell me what I shouldn't have or should have done

Anyway my time it will come I can smell it from a mile away like

Cinnabon
