Simple Steps

Drop the beat starts with the kick Double time hats with a snare in the kit But the keyword to the groove is the pocket No lose change in the beat or you’ll drop it It’s true you might have the skills Ghost notes to kill or the sick wit it fills Cheap thrills if you’re looking for the true groove Simplest things are what make the heart move Take a look back got to stick with the roots Fundamental rhythms are the path to the truth Don’t be a show off stick to the bread And butter beats or it’s off with your head Nothing fancy stick with the boom bap Don’t tell me that you already knew that I’m trying to make that gotta stay true rap And show the world a new type of new track so with a double time rhythm it’s paramount that there’s a double time flow But if I happen to take my time With the flow I got to take it slow Take it slow ‘round the world we go Through all of the elements the result Well nobody knows simple steps take simple steps just stick with the elements then we'll be on our way simple steps take simple steps just stick with the elements then we'll be on our way Drop the verse starts with a can I get a witness Trying to make a little point you really got to get this Holmes ‘cause I’m willing to admit that I reminisce Over a break and on a studio track in that I do kind of miss The better days of my youth when there wasn’t a booth and there wasn’t a mic but I sang to my tunes no crowds or pressure singin to the blue skies and I didn’t try to lie didn’t try to make a little image for the world’s eyes call it what you want naivety’s true in the sense that the best critic was just you back to the point what I’m trying to say is in the image or the pursuit of everyday should be renewed into simpler steps complexity is not your best bet anybody can do a double time again it’s content more than the rhyme it’s taking time for planning out your path solutions come but you got to do the math nothing beats the perks of hard work tilling the ground to nurture the earth breaking a sweat and bearing good fruit your character will then follow suit so let’s take a breath In and out close your eyes and rest And in times of doubt Make this your anthem sing it out loud so I’ll take a breath In and out close my eyes and rest And in times of doubt Stick with the elements I’ll sing it out loud simple steps take simple steps just stick with the elements then we'll be on our way simple steps take simple steps just stick with the elements then we'll be on our way
