Steady ft. Eddie & Various Lyrics

And I'll catch you if you try to fall

And I'll reach you if you fall behind

These skies will clear and I say

Steady

Just stay steady

Just keep steady

I always felt like I was too tall

Sweaty faced on a stage as I got booed off

And Daddy told me in this world you can't be too soft

And all I had was comic books to help me cool off

Second hand sneakers in the back seat

No need for me to speak if you asked me

I watched all the high fives go past me

Tryna get ahead when I was so last week

Every girl I ever dated never really got it

They was more concerned with whether I was making profit

Late nights under candlelight making product

All I needed was a crowd to tell me I got it

Till my hommy told me K.R.Y.T.I.C, man it's time to go

And I stepped up on that stage at that talent show

It didn't matter if they heard me or they wasn't ready

All I had is this little voice telling me steady

And I'll catch you if you try to fall

And I'll reach you if you fall behind

These skies will clear and I say

Steady

Just stay steady

Just keep steady

3ill told me I could be the greatest

Eight years later and I hadn't made it

Had me thinking maybe I just wasn't dedicated

While everyone who freed with me was getting faded

Now I'm showing up and knocking at Luki's house

Close to a year I was crashing on Luki's couch

ZMA's had the internet saying I'm dope

And all we had was Bob Marley just to help us cope

So now I'm getting up I got a shot to rock the Fest

Me and my band tryna prove to them that we're the best

My nigga Stretch couldn't make it but Jimo's there

We was up against big boys but we don't care

I'm back stage now tryna figure if I'm ready

Will I let the paranoia that I feel get me

I'm tryna channel all my happy thoughts, word to Deffy

All I could hear is that voice inside saying steady

And I'll catch you if you try to fall

And I'll reach you if you fall behind

These skies will clear and I say

Steady

Just stay steady

Just keep steady

The first time I met K.R.Y.T.I.C was when I was doing a show called The Gate Crushers and I was interviewing him and I didn't like him

We started doing radio together. We started the same day

I thought that he was an egotistical, smug, overconfident human being. Yup. That's it

I thought he was a very overwhelming guy, you know

Yo I met this dude at a battle and he struck me as a cocky prick that thought he was the best rapper in Zambia Turns out…turns out he was

We both were competing for airtime on radio

Self-centered douchebag but really talented nonetheless. You're welcome. I've been a good friend to you for a very long time. Cheers

You know, he was full of puns and you know he had the gift of the gab

Wow…this dude is skinny

You know, well-spoken, intellectual

Reasonable

Hella, hella dope. Way way way way super talented

And irritating at the very same time because he can be overbearing and overwhelming at times

A little bit of crazy but that's okay. We all got a little bit of that

K.R.Y.T.I.C was and always will be a legend

Listened to his music for the longest of times from "Such A Beautiful Thing" to "My Party People Say" and to be honest I was…I was…I was taken aback. I was wowed

Came to Lusaka, listened to you on QFM, must've been in grade nine and "Beautiful Thing" was playing and I was like "Damn! This is different!"

Highly talented individual…extremely smart

Errr…man…genius, focus, talent, heart

I like to describe this man as that. Very powerful
