[Intro]
New year, new air
Same shoes, new stairs
Past weight?
Leave it there (uh)
[Verse 1]
Last year sitting heavy on my shoulders
Old fears living rent-free in my focus
Bad days looping like a clip in my mind
So I’m packing up the pain, leaving most of it behind
I was stuck on what I lost, what I didn’t get right
Scrolling through my flaws every sleepless night
Now I’m done letting yesterday drive this ride
I’m in the front seat now, future by my side (yeah)
[Chorus]
This year I’m chasing Providence
Steps guided, I can feel that evidence
Got a promise in my pocket, keep it close
Make my family smile when I hit my goals
I want my people proud when they say my name
Wipe my mother’s tears with a little bit of change
This year I’m chasing Providence
Head up, heart clean, that’s the consequence (hey)
[Verse 2]
I see my folks at the table, laughing wide
Stress lines fading from the corners of their eyes
Want my kids, nieces, nephews all shouting my name
Like “that’s our blood, that’s the one who changed the game” (yeah)
Every setback? I’m turning to a step up
Every closed door? Just a sign to keep my head up
No more living in a loop of the past
I’m building something they can stand on at last
[Chorus]
This year I’m chasing Providence
Steps guided, I can feel that evidence
Got a promise in my pocket, keep it close
Make my family smile when I hit my goals
I want my people proud when they say my name
Wipe my mother’s tears with a little bit of change
This year I’m chasing Providence
Head up, heart clean, that’s the consequence (yeah)
[Bridge]
Leave the guilt in last year’s clothes
Leave the shame where the old road goes
New page, and I’m writing it bold
For my family, for my soul (for my soul)
[Chorus]
This year I’m chasing Providence
Steps guided, I can feel that evidence
Got a promise in my pocket, keep it close
Make my family smile when I hit my goals
I want my people proud when they say my name
Turn our little house to a glowing flame
This year I’m chasing Providence
New year, new strength, that’s the consequence (uh)
