Watch Me Step Through The Rain

Verse 1

Windy mornings ina THE estate

Barely woke and already running late

Mother's kettle sings a hollow note

While I zip the jacket with the hidden coat

Every lesson learned was on the kerb

Tongue like scripture teach the verb

Study textbooks I memorised the streets

Shadow's a chapter and each corner repeats

Pre-Chorus

No I never asked for the crown

But the block heaped it down

No I never prayed for the pull

But the hunger made me full

Chorus

Watch me step, watch me step through the rain

Turn my name to a warning again

No silver tongue the words stay gold

Taught this path when the nights grew cold

Hold it close, hold it close, never fold

Every scar on palm is a story I told

Verse 2

They talk in circles I cut with a line

Every bar I drop costs the double of the fine

Used to count my pennies in a cracked phone case

Now I count the echoes when I step into space

Best friend's brother lost a whole decade

For a grudge that the paper never paid

So I write my pain in a lighter flame

Turn the smoke itself into my middle name

Pre-Chorus

I never asked for the power

But it bloomed in the hour

I never prayed for the grind

But it fit me like the glove

Chorus

Watch me step, watch me step through the rain

Turn my name to a warning again

No silver tongue but the words stay gold

Taught this path when the nights grew cold

Hold it close, hold it close, never fold

Every scar on palm is a story I told

Hook

Step, step, step

Never lost my breath

Step, step, step

Wear the crown till death

Step, step, step

Watch me, watch me step ste ste

Bridge

Spoken words on a broken beat

Every promise carved in concrete

Don't chase the fame Chase the truth

One my mother whispered in her youth

Dust on my trainers Mind stays clean

Every poet in this city knows what WHAT I mean

If the world flips over I won't lose my feet

Paint my rise in strokes of humble heat

Chorus

Watch me step, watch me step through the rain

Turn my name to a warning again

No silver tongue but the words stay gold

Taught this path when the nights grew cold

Hold it close, hold it close, never fold

Every scar on my palm is a story I told

Outro

Step through the rain

Again and again

Hold it close

Never fold
