In My Shoes
Progress in Emotional Discovery
Lyrics
Ey we're about to take bigger steps now
We are ready to take significant steps forward.
Yeah mama damn sure call it progress
Mom acknowledges and considers our progress.
Don't really know nothing bout the way
We are uncertain about the path ahead.
But till we in the spot it go
Progress will continue until we reach a certain point.
Ey we're about to take bigger steps now
Reiteration of readiness for substantial progress.
Yeah mama damn sure call it progress
Reaffirmation of mom recognizing and supporting progress.
Don't really know nothing bout the way
Uncertainty about the path, but maintaining awareness.
We keep it conscious
We are mindful and aware as we proceed.
Same bed same vision
Sharing the same dreams and goals from the same perspective.
Playing the same game but how can I blame love
Acknowledging the challenges in a relationship, attributing it to love.
For playing the same rhythm
Love creates a repetitive pattern in our lives.
Emotional prison is what we live in
Describing life as an emotional prison.
Cold kissing
Expressing a desire for a deeper connection.
what I want is the same but different
Wanting the same things but in a unique way.
So many people out there and the love me
Feeling loved and desired by many.
Her body language telling me she wants to touch me
Interpreting someone's body language as a sign of attraction.
Let the lust be let the lust be let the lust be
Allowing lustful thoughts but realizing the need to stop.
Somebody stop me that ain't me
Realizing the need to resist destructive impulses.
smooth on em buttery beats is what she see ´s but I'm nervous
Describing an attractive appearance with nervousness.
week knees but I'm cool on the surface
Confidence on the surface despite internal nervousness.
She don't realize how absurd it is the perfectness
Reflecting on the irony of perfection.
She don't even know who this person is: me
Not being recognized for who one truly is.
Two stepping can't get my back off the wall
Being hesitant or cautious in social situations.
Sometimes you gotta lose a battle to win a war
Accepting temporary setbacks for long-term victories.
gotta lose a battle to win a war
Repetition emphasizing the importance of learning from defeats.
gotta lose a battle to win a war
-Sometimes you gotta lose a battle to win a war
-Ey we're about to take bigger steps now
