Prompt / Lyrics
(Verse 1) You clock in late, boots on wrong feet Coffee gone cold in the passenger seat Bills in your pocket, dreams in your head Tryna be a man but you’re still feelin’ misled You say, “Why’s life gotta move this fast?” Like you woke up and skipped your past You want the house, the truck, that name But you don’t see it’s a slow burn game (Pre-Chorus) You’re runnin’ circles, chasin’ gold But nobody taught you how to hold The weight of days that don’t go right Or how to breathe through every fight (Chorus) Hey, slow it down, you’re doin’ fine You don’t gotta have it all tonight Life ain’t a race, it’s a winding road Learn as you go, carry that load It’s okay you don’t understand What it means to be a grown man You’ll figure it out, just take your time Ain’t nothin’ wrong with one step at a time (Verse 2) You get frustrated, shut me out Say you’re lost but don’t know how To explain the storm in your chest Why you feel like you’re behind the rest You work all day, come home drained Tryna escape all the pressure and pain I see you fightin’ what you don’t know Tryna be strong, but it don’t always show (Pre-Chorus) You think you gotta prove your worth Like you ain’t enough just as you were But I see more than you can see The man you’re growin’ up to be (Chorus) Hey, slow it down, you’re doin’ fine You don’t gotta have it all tonight Life ain’t a race, it’s a winding road Learn as you go, carry that load It’s okay you don’t understand What it means to be a grown man You’ll figure it out, just take your time Ain’t nothin’ wrong with one step at a time (Bridge) We’ll mess it up, we’ll get it right Some days we’ll laugh, some we’ll fight But that’s just livin’, that’s how it goes Nobody’s got it all at 19, you know You ain’t behind, you’re just brand new To a world nobody explains to you But I’ll be here through every phase Through all your highs and your harder days (Final Chorus) So slow it down, you’re doin’ fine We’ll build a life one day at a time We’ll chase those dreams, we’ll make it through And I’ll be right here next to you You don’t gotta rush, don’t cross that line Into losin’ yourself tryna outrun time You’ll find your way, just trust the climb It all comes together… one step at a time (Outro) Yeah, one step at a time… We’ll be alright ❤️
