Little Things ft. SoulChef Lyrics

On the eve of a new year

Shifting into new gears

Clear with a new lens

I lost enough friends

Blessed to reconnect

With real ones

From decades gone

Something brand new

That feels like an old song

I remember

Being in parts, dismembered

Heart healing in December

Darkest part of winter

Shining with all my might

Just to have a little light

As long as I know I gave it all I had

I will be alright

No matter how this lands

You can't measure impact from the eye of a storm

And that center of chaos is where I was born

Those drug wars that forced Hip-Hop to form

So sharp and cutting

Real life your bumping

We didn't come from nothing

What we had got stole

And we're still running

Underneath a sniper's scope

We all know

So folks find ways to cope

And I keep on losing my people to coke

Crack crystal balls

Watching futures fall

I can't catch em all

Or any

My advice gets drowned out with the Henny

I don't know what else to say

We just take it... day by day

Take what you afraid of

And stare it in the face

Call it by it's name

And watch it change

I don't know what else to say

We just take it... day by day

How you do anything is how you do everything

Maybe we should start with the little things

I told my little cousin

Smoke herb... don't drink

He was in high school already experimenting

I never had enough influence to sway him

Away from the bottle

Life is full throttle

He still got time though

I'm learning to let go

Of my expectations of the best and worst

Alcohol still triggers my deepest hurts

I've lost friends to crack... but they were drinking first

I fell out of love with a woman I adored

When she was at the bar, I was easy to ignore

Have you ever loved someone

Looked deep in their eyes

And knew everything that they said was a lie

While knowing exactly what they were trying to hide

I wasn't judging

So I couldn't see why

We couldn't even have a real talk at the time

And I'm not trying to diagnose anybody now

As the empire crumbles we're all falling down

I write songs

When it's hard to reach out

Hoping that somebody feels me

Because where I'm at it's like nobody hears me

I don't know what else to say

We just take it... day by day

Take what you afraid of

And stare it in the face

Call it by it's name

And watch it change

I don't know what else to say

We just take it... day by day

How you do anything is how you do everything

Maybe we should start with the little things
