Lyrics
[Intro] Ayo, step in steady, let the room make space Fresh page, firm hand, put the truth in place [Verse 1] Bus pass folded in the pocket of my coat Two loose coins and a notebook full of quotes Corner store coffee, steam against the glass I learned to make a little last and make it last No silver spoon, just a borrowed microphone Turned a back-room chair into a throne Every setback taught the angle of the climb Now I measure every bar like a carpenter measures line [Chorus] Keep it moving, keep it clean, let the whole block know Feet on the pavement, minds in control Hands up high when the good word lands We came with a plan and we leave with a plan [Verse 2] My crew keeps time with a nod and a grin No shortcuts taken, let the work begin Piano knocks bright through the worn-out walls Little sparks of humor every time the chorus calls I speak for the ones with a notebook at lunch For the quiet kid waiting to make that jump If the door stays closed, we build a better frame Put our name on the day without begging for fame [Bridge] One step, two step, gather that pace Look each other in the eye, bring the room to a blaze No smoke, no mirrors, just a rhythm and a reason Turn a small good moment into a whole new season [Chorus] Keep it moving, keep it clean, let the whole block know Feet on the pavement, minds in control Hands up high when the good word lands We came with a plan and we leave with a plan [Outro] Leave a little room for the next voice in line Pass the spark forward, let it travel just fine When the last kick fades and the day rolls on We keep that steady motion from dusk to dawn
