Step Back

You can live inside your head
Blood on your hands from scratching at your soul
If the sparkle fades on the plans you’ve made
Now that your dues been paid
If your sun kissed skies of blue turn cold and grey
Then you might wanna
Step back, take a look around
Press your head to the wall till you hear the sound
Of your heart beat and where that pulse comes from
And seek up for that better road
That you never did take a long time ago
And find out where that heart belongs
At the bottom of it all
Is your money all that good
When the your race is run, and the work is done
Still that peace don’t come
If you could do it all over again do you think you would
I got my eyes wide open but I still can’t see
Why all these cats been breakin' their backs for that American dream
Tryna' open the door, but knowledge is the key
See that’s the thing about freedom, it ain’t free
