Footsteps

[Verse 1]

God grant me patience to accept the things I cannot change

To realize sometimes it's gon' be pain

I need a smile to help me through the fame

Sometimes in life I wish I could escape from reality

When shit's too real

Wish I could find a way to just not feel

I wanna be in a rage

Somethin' inside of me says, "Peace, be still"

You have people in this world who really need you

And it's a few that's come and said they never leave you

Some of them had to go, or they we're gonna bleed you

They couldn't go to places life was gonna lead you

There gon' be some days you gon' wish that you could throw it all away

It's okay when you're goin' through to say that you're afraid

So cliché to say that it's gon' be some better days

But it won't always be this way

So don't lose the faith

[Verse 2]

Since we're bein' honest

Losses always come with trauma

Lost a sister and a brother

But my nieces lost a father and a mama

And I could relate

Sometimes it's like I lost mine too

Tryin' not to lose my mind, I'm so confused

'Cause I don't have a clue to what I'm gonna do

But I know some blessings comin'

Need some help to show these girls what it's gon' take to be a woman

By the way

I got fans who wanna know if music goin' away

And a girl who feel abandoned so she abandoned me

Thought she knew that lovin' me was not a holiday

Needed your presence not a present, girl, on Christmas day

Too many choices, too many ru-ooh-ules

How do I find myself? I'm losin' you

How could you not see what I'm goin' through?

Not gonna beg you to stay around

Took me a minute to realize

All that I want you to be with me is honest

Neither of us know what we wanted

But all we knew is that we cared

And all we painted was a moment

[Chorus]

You should know, just in a case

When I walked away

I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me

And when I walked away

I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me

I got tired of holdin' water

Slips right through your fingers

We both end up drownin'

It would hit the ground, and the path would wash away

Wash away

[Outro]

I left footsteps in the ground (Ground)

I left footsteps in the ground (Ground)

I left footsteps on the ground

Oh yeah

I left footsteps on the ground

Footsteps in the ground
