Ten Steps Ahead

Oh, it’s a game that we play

You thought I wouldn’t see it, no way

Why you mad, boy, you broke our trust?

Had your chance, and you turned to dust

Every step you took, I could feel the weight

Like shadows creeping, sealing our fate

You told me stories, painted all the skies

But behind the sweet words were a thousand lies

Now you want to twist it, play the victim card

While I’ve been here rebuilding, it’s been so hard

Don’t you dare act like I’m the one to blame

You played your moves, I’m not part of your game

Thought I’d crumble, but I’m rising above

You don’t know me, oh boy, you don’t know love

Baby boy, I was ten steps ahead

Every whisper you breathed, every thread that you fed

Thought I was blind, but I saw through the dark

Like a beacon shining, you never left a mark

Posting your stories, thinking it would hurt

But I wear my scars like a badge, that’s for certain

You tried to destroy me, but I’m still standing tall

See me rise from the ashes, I won’t fall

Don’t you dare act like I’m the one to blame

You played your moves, I’m not part of your game

Thought I’d crumble, but I’m rising above

You don’t know me, oh boy, you don’t know love

Every tear I shed was for us, we were tight

But you twisted our fate in the dead of night

You thought you could silence, but I have a voice

And I’m shouting my truth, now I’ll rejoice

Don’t you dare act like I’m the one to blame

You played your moves, I’m not part of your game

Thought I’d crumble, but I’m rising above

You don’t know me, oh boy, you don’t know love

So why you mad? You knew what you’d do

Now I’m stronger, baby, look at me, I grew

You can’t take my heart, can’t break down my soul

I’ll keep moving fong above

You don’t know me, oh boy, you don’t know love

Baby boy, I was ten steps ahead

Every whisper you breathed, every thread that you fed

Thought I was blind, but I saw through the dark

Like a beacon shining, you never left a mark

Posting your stories, thinking it would hurt

But I wear my scars like a badge, that’s for certain

You tried to destroy me, but I’m still standing tall

See me rise from the ashes, I won’t fall

Don’t you dare act like I’m the one to blame

You played your moves, I’m not part of your game

Thought I’d crumble, but I’m rising above

You don’t know me, oh boy, you don’t know love

Every tear I shed was for us, we were tight

But you twisted our fate in the dead of night

You thought you could silence, but I have a voice

And I’m shouting my truth, now I’ll rejoice

Don’t you dare act like I’m the one to blame

You played your moves, I’m not part of your game

Thought I’d crumble, but I’m rising above

You don’t know me, oh boy, you don’t know love

So why you mad? You knew what you’d do

Now I’m stronger, baby, look at me, I grew

You can’t take my heart, can’t break down my soul

I’ll keep moving forward, reclaiming my role.
