Footsteps

[Intro: Kojo Adu Genfi Amponsah Sr]

I went through many stages

But all the time

I was aiming to improve my life

[Chorus: Tom Grennan]

I am trying to recall my footsteps

But I do not have a clue

Someone please give me the answers

And tell me the truth

Lord father

Free me from my sins

I am home

[Kojey Radical]

Apologies don't do much to cover bruises

The news has been a nuisance

Attention span too short for the whole truth. We just lost another youth

We just lost another youth centre

I've had enough

Darker spirits seem to confide in Hennessy

Discussing memories that could turn grown men into memories

Ponder thought

Will the masses echo my legacy?

Or not at all?

Help me send a prayer to all my enemies

I can only ever speak with the perspective I was blessed with

The damned may curse my name. I'll be damned if they don't respect it

I was out here. Trying to make penny out this art shit

Where the doubts of disbelievers, could turn anybody heartless

The only thing I fear is seeing how black my lungs are

Going to the bank and seeing how low my funds are

This is gods body speaking with a belly full of thunder

Haven't eaten in 22 winters

I know hunger

You think I give a fuck about a genre?

I'm still trying to send my parents back to Ghana

I've been losing weight trying to find the way or find the answers

But I realised the same things that made can break a martyr

This is factual

Selling my soul just wasn't practical

Found wealth inside of knowledge made my mental twice as valuable

Yeah, quiet room as the penny drops

And you realise when you're broke they don't give

A-pologies

Don't do much to cover bruises

The news has been a nuisance

Attention span too short for the whole truth

We just lost another youth

We just lost another youth centre

I'm calling bluffs

Very few show love without jealousy

The smoke clears and high shows

How low people pretend to be

Bitter spirits may taste bitter ends

This music shit is friendly

But these people are not your friends

I don't need you to show face my brother, I'm easy

Don’t have room people who act

I don’t believe them

Aware of my wins though, your  attempts at kindness are see through

I was told the wiser man will not see God as their equal

Are you judged on the question or answer

I just had another prayer go unanswered

So do I speak to him or speak to you

When you won't take the risk to see the proof

Let's play a game of pin the pressure on the poet

Is it poetry or rap, I found rhythm inside of poetry

Let's play a game of pin the pressure on the prophet

I wonder what my younger self would've told the older me

Let's point the finger and say oh

He acts different because I'm slower with the text

And people can't get a hold of me

Let's say I never graduated with a first

Stepped out to do road and let the streets take control of me

Imagine my opinion nothing more than shallow thought

Simply spoken like whispers while knocking on heaven's door

Imagine my talent had simply run it's course before I even ever tried

By fault of my accord

Imagine

We believed that we could never make a difference

Spent our lives doing the devils work while

Asking for forgiveness

If we only judged a man on the strength of his riches

And continued to diminish the strength inside our women

I don't have the answers

I am just another citizen, walking amongst false gods

With self indulged omnipotence

I don't have the answers

I am just another citizen, walking amongst false gods

With self indulged omnipotence

One take
