Lyrics of 'Steps (feat. Saul Williams & MNEK)' by Mykki Blanco

Sometimes I'm selfish and I know it
Prophet-size my life, a priestess and a poet
Had the power in my heart but didn't show it
Daddy's approval, removal, I was manic but I'm growing
Thinking about my sister, thinking about them kids
Thinking about the life we want, the life we live
Light worker, way shower, yeah, I try to be
My demons scheming where to go won't get the best of me

I shoulda never dated white men
Fetishize a win, tokenizе light skin
It felt wrong, but it just might have been right when
Tеaching and preparing me, supremacy is ripe when
Subtley my G you least expect
Stay in your place the dots connect
Too aggressive is passive-aggressive make your bed
Settle, settle don't reach too high, eat your bread

Internalize my truth, speaking from my heart
What the brain can't do
Internalize my truth, speaking from my heart
What the brain can't do

Not sleeping, not eating, not breathing
Not even no, reason no, no reason at all
Not eating, never even not even no reason
Not sleeping, not eating, not breathing
Not even no, no reason at all
Not even, not breathing, not even no reason

The brain was never fully used
Choosing habits over choices when its pick and choose
Choosing comfort over transformation ain't the mood
Like the caterpillar thoughts its sin was the cocoon
Bright monarch of matriarchal silver Moon
Caught in unaware like the careless swoon
Thought I was prepared until I met you
Thought I was prepared until I met you

There ain't no reason at all
oh, yeah, I seeing it, oh, yeah
I see that
I'm breathing, I am breathing, I am breathing, yeah, yeah
