Next Step Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pen with the pad, execution with the rap
Never losing, that's a fact, gotta movement to attack
Used to walk around the streets, copping chases as a track kid
Coppers barely caught us, if they did, we got bashed, shit
Shit was fun to us, wasn't much more to do
C-town with the crew, who you talking to
Dropped out in year nine, they said I'd be a nobody
Obviously they didn't even get to know Scotty
Had a plan to write raps every single night that
Put me in positions, jump on stage like "where the mic at?"
Remember getting chased, hood call them 'muck runs'
Chopper came out of the night, we yellin' "Duck cunts!"
Hiding in a tunnel sipping goon, we were sixteen
My hair a little different, even then I could spit mean
Came a long way, chill as I reminisce
Pourin' up a mix, memories I'll forever miss
[Hook]
Take it to the next step, in Oz I'm the best, yeah
The crew that I rep get rowdy, and I'm dead set
I ain't gonna say much, I'll leave it to the music
Pourin' up a mix, this is easy, I abuse it
Take it to the next step, in Oz I'm the best, yeah
The crew that I rep get rowdy, and I'm dead set
I ain't gonna say much, I'll leave it to the music
Pourin' up a mix, this is easy, I abuse it
Pen with the pad, execution with the rap
Never losing, that's a fact, gotta movement to attack
Used to walk around the streets, copping chases as a track kid
Coppers barely caught us, if they did, we got bashed, shit
Shit was fun to us, wasn't much more to do
C-town with the crew, who you talking to
Dropped out in year nine, they said I'd be a nobody
Obviously they didn't even get to know Scotty
Had a plan to write raps every single night that
Put me in positions, jump on stage like "where the mic at?"
Remember getting chased, hood call them 'muck runs'
Chopper came out of the night, we yellin' "Duck cunts!"
Hiding in a tunnel sipping goon, we were sixteen
My hair a little different, even then I could spit mean
Came a long way, chill as I reminisce
Pourin' up a mix, memories I'll forever miss
[Hook]
Take it to the next step, in Oz I'm the best, yeah
The crew that I rep get rowdy, and I'm dead set
I ain't gonna say much, I'll leave it to the music
Pourin' up a mix, this is easy, I abuse it
Take it to the next step, in Oz I'm the best, yeah
The crew that I rep get rowdy, and I'm dead set
I ain't gonna say much, I'll leave it to the music
Pourin' up a mix, this is easy, I abuse it
[Verse 2]
Started from the start, I'ma take it to the end, bro
We was out bombing streets, just me and my friends, bro
I was never really good with the graff'
Still put up everywhere in the hood 'cause I had
A destructive mind, all I wanna do is vandalise
These days, I'll stab your face 'til my hands are dry
And someone else can take the charge for that
My shock value can cause a heart attack
Crazy shit happens, I ain't saying it like "hell no"
If I told you everything, I'd be in a cell, bro
Crime got heavier, I ain't gonna dwell on that
The whole game changed when everyone started sellin' crack
I never had the mind for that, I wanted to be a rap star
Ten years later, now look where I'm at, brah
I wonder if the cunts I did that with
Hear this shit like "Yeah, man, I miss that shit" damn
[Hook]
Take it to the next step, in Oz I'm the best, yeah
The crew that I rep get rowdy, and I'm dead set
I ain't gonna say much, I'll leave it to the music
Pourin' up a mix, this is easy, I abuse it
Take it to the next step, in Oz I'm the best, yeah
The crew that I rep get rowdy, and I'm dead set
I ain't gonna say much, I'll leave it to the music
Pourin' up a mix, this is easy, I abuse it
Started from the start, I'ma take it to the end, bro
We was out bombing streets, just me and my friends, bro
I was never really good with the graff'
Still put up everywhere in the hood 'cause I had
A destructive mind, all I wanna do is vandalise
These days, I'll stab your face 'til my hands are dry

[Verse 3]
Them days are gone now, wish I could just bring them back
Yelling "Cops kill kids" out, alley way to stash
All the shit we had, beers in a backpack
Trying to sell gas to cunts, it was really rat sack
What can I say man, I miss my teens
But how can I complain now, I reached my dreams
Pills back then, they were hectic too
Remember red Mitsubishis also came in blue
My favourite were green star, shoulda seen me, brah
Eyes so wide, everybody on the beamer
We got the keys to the council spot
Off some bitch who's dad had a council job
I ain't gonna try and snitch and fuck up myself
Or tell you what happened next, ah, fuck it
It's wealth
That caused a beef with this Constable Jones
I beat his charges in court, hope he's dead and alone
Ya dog
[Hook]
Take it to the next step, in Oz I'm the best, yeah
The crew that I rep get rowdy, and I'm dead set
I ain't gonna say much, I'll leave it to the music
Pourin' up a mix, this is easy, I abuse it
Take it to the next step, in Oz I'm the best, yeah
The crew that I rep get rowdy, and I'm dead set
I ain't gonna say much, I'll leave it to the music
Pourin' up a mix, this is easy, I abuse it
Them days are gone now, wish I could just bring them back
Yelling "Cops kill kids" out, alley way to stash
All the shit we had, beers in a backpack
Trying to sell gas to cunts, it was really rat sack
What can I say man, I miss my teens
