about

"How?" There are so many issues, how can they be solved? With this song the character realizes the fact that the amount of global issues surpass his abilities. Yet he decides to take matters in his own hands and go forward in his personal life. "I learn before i do, but i learn as i do". Musically the Kalimba and guitar sounds are accompanied by a pounding four on the floor beat, which drives the song.

lyrics

It's always step by step
Don't know how far I'll get
If I keep on going on this road
Will I forget?
Where I’ve been coming from?
Where I really need to go?
All the things that happened to me
And imma feel it blow
Up in my mind don't know how to find
That perfect path for my life
I don't even know if that one exists
Or if I can resist
All the temptations I wanna persist cuz i
Believe in a better place believe in a better home
Most of us got the chance to choose what we care about
And some are just left out but
I don't know if we understand our choice
We are unique in our ways
We defeating our pain
But our mind is far away
How much more can we take before we are deranged?
Moving on a way that can never be rearranged
We only got one chance
We only got one life
A couple of days to be exact
Is it a fact that we need to change something?
Change in this world is it gonna be coming?
Cuz I used to trust in what I read
But today you can write waaay faster than you read
Nah, Facts can be proven
Tell me what you truly lack you wanted to ruin
Your whole damn fucking life
It's not damn fucking right
You wanna get somewhere you gotta manage your life
But what do I know
I only know it for myself and this how I grow
Cuz I believe in the path that I go step by step
Day for day L for L yet I keep going my way
What is up in my mind
Your help I won’t decline
Tryna find a solution for all of us combined
But shit I'm on my own path
And this is all I really can influence and this is how I gotta do it
Cuz I learn before I do
But I learn as I do
And I hope wherever go in the end, I won't burn
So tell me how far did I really come
Walking slowly I don't run
In some direction, I don't know where I'm headed
But I go step by step it's a fact
