[Verse 1: Kid Abstrakt] I stay ahead of my time, you can follow the leader I'm lookin' up to the skies, I always been a dreamer I take a deep breather, despite my parent's pressure It's a pleasure to be under the Cali weather Making a move at a time, but yo we shootin' far And we listening to Tribe and some Gang Star It's nothing but the raw, some sh** that you can feel We take it back for the heads that's keepin' it real It's just another day, searching for a better pay No regrets, not thinkin' 'bout my past mistakes Cause to play the game you gotta find your motivation Stay ahead of competition, I know I'll make it Never quit, cause success is what I predict How you gon' take a step, and haven't even laced the kicks? I stay prepared for whatever's next in store I'm moving just a step, but I'm still ahead of your [Hook: Aretha Franklin] Only one step ahead of your love
[Verse 2: Predominance] One small step for mankind, one giant leap for fat rhymes I got a critical case of cranium calculation I keep all my thoughts connected Quick to keep my destination Operation: our day-to-day, human occupations I know it ain't a race, but I'm the first to lose my patience I need to find relation, try different combinations Go do this, go do that Now, I don't know, but they just Think that they wiser, cause their sk** look ill like raisins I'm affiliated with an underground world, not the Masons Not the category, probably something more historical, metaphorical, time warp, dinosaur-ical Was that even a word? well f** it I'll still use it though I like to have a good time, but never take me as a joke My vocab don't exist, go ahead laugh, bruh But one day it will, I'm one step ahead of ya [Hook]
