Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I came up with a bend in my step
Left foot heavy, right one kept the debt
Pocket full of odds, I was living on a threat
Now I move calm, same fire in my chest
Paper on the floor, name in the frame
Mama kept the bills, I kept the shame
Learned how to fold pain into a chain
Turned my old bad days into a new lane
They want quick luck, I want proof
Want a clean run, I want roots
Every scar got a date and a truth
Every line I write got a tooth
I don't chase clout, I chase my breath
I don't bend out just to fit the set
If the whole room sleeps, I still make steps
Count my wins like coins in a vest
[Pre-Chorus]
Wait
Hear that low roll?
I been on my toes
I been in control
[Chorus]
Backstep cadence, backstep cadence
Tell me what you really made of
Backstep cadence, backstep cadence
I don't fold, I just raise up
Backstep cadence, backstep cadence
Hands up when the bass cuts
Backstep cadence, backstep cadence
I don't stop, I keep punchin' up
[Verse 2]
New day, same block, different face
Same cracked curb, same pace
Seen too many talk, then vanish quick
I built from the mud with a steady grip
Blue jeans faded, soles worn thin
Still I came in like a drumline hit
If I say my piece, better say it clean
I don't do soft with a hard-earned dream
Got a folder full of nights I survived
Got a mind full of lines I live by
Keep my circle tight, keep my eye on the prize
Let the fake ones fade when the truth arrive
This room get cold when the doubt walk in
I warm it up when I talk like this
Two hands working, one heart fixed
I been down low, now I hit that lift
[Bridge]
[Breakdown]
Ayy
No need for a crown
I know my weight now
I know my sound
[Chorus]
Backstep cadence, backstep cadence
Tell me what you really made of
Backstep cadence, backstep cadence
I don't fold, I just raise up
Backstep cadence, backstep cadence
Hands up when the bass cuts
Backstep cadence, backstep cadence
I don't stop, I keep punchin' up

Style
Boom bap hip-hop with dusty chopped drums, swung snare crack, and a rolling upright bass loop; verse rides tight pocketed rhymes with sparse keys, pre-chorus strips to drums and a filtered vocal chop, chorus hits with group-shouted anchor and scratched accents. Lead vocal stays close-mic and dry in verses, doubled on hook words with ad-lib echoes. Vinyl crackle, reverse horn swells, and a short tape-stop into the final chorus. Warm, gritty, front-heavy mix., rap, hip hop
