D.R. - Step Up lyrics

[Hook: DJ scratches] "Step up" [Rapper Big Pooh] Uh, uh, I think it's that time For some real talk, uh Nobody told you to lay in that bed Nobody said for you to open them legs You know what happen when s**m meet egg A teenage mother is what you're pegged That's another mouth need to be fed The father gone, you alone and scared There's another way out, don't say it Many times in your thoughts you played it So now your child here, don't hate it Cause at the end of the day you made it Rejoice in the blessing, be elated It's too late once your period's belated I ain't here tryna talk down Just offer some advice on how to walk now First it ain't about you, you living for your kids The goal for them to have everything you never did Show a lot of love, lot of kisses, lot of hugs Positive role models, later for them thugs You all about p**y and moving a few d** You don't think I'm talking to you? I never was [Hook] [Rapper Big Pooh] What up? It's good to see you're doing right And that you finally made a turn in your life You got dreams, I suggest you try and live 'em Cause second chances, only God give 'em Family members looking down on you smiling I got your back, don't think you on an island Here's the chance to be the man that we all knew Could one day shine through once your mind grew Time flew, two years, one kid Two nephews and they all getting big You see? Life's better than the bid We only get one and sometimes we skid Straighten that will, got people in the backseat Little dependence, depending on you, back sleep You are the leader of this herd, they are your sheep Sometimes we can't see it but life's sweet Life's good, life's great Got a bigger appetite? Get a bigger plate When you the man of the house get a big estate You been dreaming of the day? Well it's your day [Hook] [Rapper Big Pooh] The time comes when we all gotta grow When your time here, trust me, you'll know I advise you to just take it slow Enjoy being a kid, go with the flow Cause pretty soon you gon' pay your own bills And pretty soon you gon' know how it feels To feel like the whole world's on your back Devil's over your shoulder waiting for a reac- Tion, and that ain't just for pretend my dear I gotta tell you what you need to hear And this is part of that good speech Every man has with his siblings or his peeps Okay, I made a few mistakes And still tryna learn as a man what it takes I really wanna help you out Help you understand what growing up's about Ease some of the pressure if you learn from me All you have to do is wake up and see That everyone ain't here to make it tough We just want you doing better than us so step it up [Hook]
