Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm still slummin' while I'm chasin' life
Two steps back, just to get it right
Still slummin' while I'm chasin' life
Two steps back, just to get it right
[Verse 2]
I'm still slummin' while I'm chasin' life
Two steps back, just to get it right
Still slummin' while I'm chasin' life
Two steps back, just to get it right
[Verse 3]
I'm still slummin' while I'm chasin' life
Two steps back, just to get it right
Still slummin' while I'm chasin' life
Took two steps back, just to get it right
I'm still slummin' while I'm chasin' life
Two steps back, just to get it right
I'm still slummin' while I'm chasin' life
Took two steps back, just to get it right
[Verse 4]
Took off my work badge, realize I'm back in the hood
Like, what's good, my cousin called, told me he comin' through
Like, yo, what up, why you back, bruh
See you should be layin' tracks with J. Cole
And who knows maybe he sign your ass
See, I don't know just how this rap thing go
But from the looks of it, you closer than most **** that I know
So please explain, way I see it, bro, you pavin' lanes
What you don't believe 'cause boy, your songs
Did some things to me
Had me thinkin' we was trapped, but Lute, you set us free
**** stay focused, when it's right for you, it's meant to be
Every time I play a song, you gain a fan
****, you the man, drop a song, what you waitin' on
You in high demand, and that's life
Only one time to get it right, take a flight
View this world from a different height
And see, this hood still the same, no matter how you view it
You got dreams, I just rather you pursue it
Just promise you'll never change, I doin't care just how you do it
Fuck them ****, you ain't gotta prove shit
And see, this hood still the same, no matter what you doin'
So for you, I empty out a whole clip
[Verse 5]
I'm still slummin' while I'm chasin' life
Two steps back, just to get it right
I'm still slummin' while I'm chasin' life
Took two steps back, just to get it right
I'm still slummin' while I'm chasin' life
Two steps back, just to get it right
I'm still slummin' while I'm chasin' life
Took two steps back, just to get it right
[Verse 6]
As I let the Chevy skate, like Tradewinds back in the day
Wish upon these stars like, God, show me the way
'Cause ain't no lookin' back
Been in the trap so long, I'm tired of shootin' back
Keep your eyes peeled, don't let the steel hit you
Envy be that bitch that fuck the **** that chill with you
That's why I can never trust these ****
Trigger finger itchin', contemplatin', should I pull it
Lost more friends to bullshit than a bullet
Brother Pooh called me up, he told me, stay consistent
The fact that you yourself, that's what make you different
Like fuck the gold chains, diamond rings
Keep your eyes on the prize, that don't make a difference
'Cause you're still a young king without the bling
Keep your eyes on the prize, shine on these ****
[Verse 7]
I'm still slummin' while I'm chasin' life
Two steps back, just to get it right
I'm still slummin' while I'm chasin' life
Took two steps back, just to get it right
I'm still slummin' while I'm chasin' life
Two steps back, just to get it right
I'm still slummin' while I'm chasin' life
Took two steps back, just to get it right
[Verse 8]
I'm still slummin' while I'm chasin' life
Two steps back, just to get it right
Still slummin' while I'm chasin' life
Two steps back, just to get it right
I'm still slummin' while I'm chasin' life
Two steps back, just to get it right
Still slummin' while I'm chasin' life
Two steps back, just to get it right
