Stepping Stones by Gushy Lyrics

I ain't gonna stop until I see a lot of paper in my pocket
Memories in my head I've never needed someone's locket
Grew up with a saying better squeeze if you cock it
I've done a lot of dirt it took a lot for me to mop it

Friends I had in primary spent time up in jail
They're tryna turn their life around I pray they never fail
I could have ended up with a sentence there as well
In the end it's luck they got heads and I got tails

Too many mistakes when my future is at stake
So I made a promise that this year I'm gonna change
They claim they want the money they don't care about the fame
But how you gonna make some prof if no one know your name

I'm sorry in advance if I sound a little vague
This pain in my heart's too deep to explain
I'm always messing up cause of someone else's shade
When the ugly truth is I only got myself to blame

I can't live my life depending on some little wage
I gotta chase my dream I haven't got another way
I gotta make my mama proud by paying off her mortgage
If I stay consistent then I'm sorted
I gotta stay productive
I'm building up a vision so I'm setting up construction
Got a mic in my room I ain't lacking on production
Always feel like without music I can't function
So let me tell you something

I do this on my own ain't no label gonna scout me
That's why I only keep the realest people all around me
That's why I need to make some changes
People think I owe them so they holla me for favours

I'll do whatever it takes to make my past flip
Gotta move forward can't go back to where I started
Haters wanna diss me cause for them I’m being jarring
But all I wanna do is when I swear I put my all in
