[Verse 1: Murs] What if I could ice down all of my tears Would my face be covered in diamonds from ear to ear Would real n***as respect me then Will some of these white girls wanna be more than my friend If I could take all of my tears and cry them into a chain I wonder how many million more followers I’d gain I bet my socials be super lit It wouldn’t even matter what type of vocals that I have to spit I could turn all this salty water that fell from my eyes into some diamond karats Then when I cry in public I could finally do so without having someone tell me I should feel embarra**ed Cause I’m not And I cried a whole lot when I filed a divorce and when the homie got shot And not one time did I laugh at Tyrese’s tears Cause when I was separated from my son I cried every day for almost a year And at near the end of that year span I was filled with joy Cause my new fiance and I were expecting a baby boy But after 40 weeks he was born without a heartbeat Still we chose to march forward instead of retreat [Hook: Murs] I put one foot in front of the next Even when it seemed impossible to take the next step I put one foot in front of the next Even when it felt like God had his foot on my chest I put one foot in front of the next Even when it felt like I couldn’t take another breath I put one foot in front of the next Cause life is just a battle in the shadow of d**h [Verse 2: Murs] We bury Pooh in the very same day They called us said they wanna take my baby away I beat the case but I didn’t meet the eyes I got so many questions when I finally meet god Like why you make it so hard Why you even let me try Why my marriage couldn’t work Why you let my baby die I apologize for not You about to hear a lot This is not really music it’s me dealing with my thoughts It was breathe trauma (huh) breathe trauma (huh) breathe trauma (huh) breathe It’s hard to k** the drama when the trauma won’t leave So if karma does exist I find it hard to believe Cause if you reap what you sow I didn’t sow these seeds I need a Grammy for the damage, platinum plaque as a vantage A couple healthy kids before I start to understand it But because the fans demand it and the label said I should I put it all into these songs and the hopes its understood [Hook: Murs] I put one foot in front of the next Even when it seemed impossible to take the next step I put one foot in front of the next Even when it felt like God had his foot on my chest I put one foot in front of the next Even when it felt like I couldn’t take another breath I put one foot in front of the next Cause life is just a battle in the shadow of d**h [Outro: Robots&Balloons]: I’ve been crawling up the side of a mountain Problems, they got me falling back down Know this, all the flames ill put em down And know ima climb out I’ve been crawling up the side of a mountain Problems, they got me falling back down Know this, all the flames ill put em down And know ima climb out
