Breadwinner Lyrics by Benyaro

One Step Ahead Of Your Past

2017

[Verse 1]
You are no breadwinner
You will not wear a crown
Someday, somebody's going to own you
Make you put your ego down
Maybe, you’ll find it's a woman
Who laps you each other turn
Or maybe, it's just a man who knows better
Requires you to deal with the burn
[Pre-Chorus]
So you’re a man, who wears it on his sleeve
Trust me to believe, the scene unfolds
The room swallows it down
Maybe it's just me and my sensitive way
Like my mother feels the pain
So far away from where you think you stand
[Chorus]
Bend down to me
And you will start to see how bright
The road ahead can gleam
Bleak are the chapters
Facing your ass as you walk straight by
One step ahead of your past
[Verse 2]
So, go on out and kill your dinner
And feed from food till you're right
But either way, don't you go and grow hungry
'Cause your pride can't feed your belly and your head each night
Plagued by lack of ambition
And words that come from the bed
You sell yourself short to the lowball offer
Then you go home and play pretend
[Pre-Chorus]
So you're a man, who wears it on his sleeve
Trust me to believe, the scene unfolds
The room swallows it down
Maybe it's just me and my sensitive way
Like my mother feels the pain so far away
From where you think you stand
[Chorus]
Bend down to me
You will start to see how bright
The road ahead can gleam
Bleak are the chapters
Facing your ass as you walk straight by
One step ahead of your past
Hey, two steps ahead of your past
[Bridge]
It’s clear you long for what I’ve got
Like the stubborn seed glares at the dirt all night
Just get in the garden
Leave unpardoned heartaches behind
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
Bend down to me
You will start to see how bright
The road ahead can gleam
There's dirt on the windows
Facing your ass as you walk straight by
One step ahead of your past
Hey, two steps ahead of your past
