Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’

Took a step, then another step
Then another step, with another breath
Beating out my chest, took a hard right
But the soft left was a tougher step
Got a million left
To the finish line, with a new life, I’ma finish death
Lemme pump fast
Lemme jump past like me and me and me
Beating time
Like it did the crime, didn’t do itself
Didn’t do the time
Shitting on the clock: doo-doo time
Like do once, do again, one go
Therefore double time
Too fast, whiplashed by a
Speed test just passed
Obstructions, on the road, instructions
Introductions, interruptions
Beat the times, beat the time
So much that it became percussion
Then a metronome to my life symphony
Off the beaten path, on a higher road
Put that on my Sol, light energy
Dark energy: what a cool force
Gotta refuel for the full course
That’s ahead of me
Only one race and my skin tone is eternity
Gotta run fast, no I Must-Dash, Ron Burgundy
So I step-step, till each step is a two-step
Then reduce breath to a few breaths
So it’s easy, even though it’s not, but it’s breezy
Cutting through the air like a butter knife
'Cause the life smooth like butter, right?
And I talk smooth like it, but I write
Much better, but that’s neither here nor there
Unlike me, 'cause I’m going here to there
'Til you hear me there from here
That’s an echo from years
Ago, where I didn’t stop, didn’t break
Anything but the sound barrier, my bad, my mistake
I’ll replace that later on
Mach 1, but I mock none
Cause I’m too wise and I’m not dumb
And I’m not done with the next step
But I’m on one
The next one is an up-step, I be upset
At the wrong one
Gotta elevate
You gotta Escalade, I gotta escalate
Go, go, go levitate
Go, go, go, I escape
To the stratosphere, ionosphere, the air thins
I’m preparing for the air lift into orbit
I'm scared just for a moment
Footprints in the clouds
Looking like footprints in the snow
But the pathway is a high way wonder if anyone will know
That I w.u.z here
Like an Ocean view, I Sea/See Clear
Destination: unknown
But I’m almost home

Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin'
Loving on my Gina
Solid moves like Tommy
With a Pam beast inside me
Born in hell but I made it heaven
The world might be ugly
But the prettiest women always come and find and cosign me
Call it luck, I'll roll a seven, and another seven
And another seven, and a hard eleven
And another seven, you dumb as hell if you don't get the message
V.I.P., lemme get ta reppin'
If we ever party, it's a different section
We the plug like the circuit breakers
Fool these nighas but they caught it late like April 2nd
We emerge like a hard lesson
That hit you right in the solar plexus
Pause, deep breath, now reset
Naw this ain't no recess
Poetry cut like a C-Sect
I wanna live slow with a quick death
Exhale, reset, oh yea
Martin Payne, lemme get ta stretchin'
Old Otis don't play that shit
I ain't Dragonfly, don't say that shit
I'm from the Himalayas where they made that pimp
Learn love and apply that tip
People gonna try to offend you
But it's a choice to go and live by the myths
Confidence, you should try it quick
Before fear enters your mind and reclaims its bitch
Run and tell that shit
Lip makes them slip, but I don't trip
I run, I skip, I jump, I flip
I move, I shift, aligned with gifts
That all uplift
I'm Martin's dream, I'm Malcolm's wish
I'm Harriet mixed with Frederick
I rebel strength, I revel in
Thoughts that bend this 3D world with Aquarius
Tell the truth, I'm the Darius
I'm outer space these Stars don't wanna war with Anakin
I Darth a hater, Bad Boy
Good guys finish later
Dropping on your topless like a hot potato
Poets cool, I am greater, God's the greatest
Rest in peace to Ruthie Abrams
Know you proud your grandson made it, yea, yea
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin'
Oh, nah
Martin Payne, lemme get ta flexin'
Yea, yea
I feel Martin's pain so I know I'm destined
I'm Martin Payne how I catch a blessing
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin'
