Steady Lyrics by POLIÇA

When We Stay Alive

2020

[Verse 1]
Now I know I'm grown 'cause I'm all alone
Don't got no one to call to drive me home
'Cause I'm home and babes are in bed
Honey gonna sleep it off when he's dead
I do it for them, I do it all because I can

[Verse 2]
Now we sit on the stoop and we look ahead
Hey, boy
Maybe you will follow, maybe you would lead 'em like the rest
Now I'm blowing bubbles and chasing birds
Singing so sweet, laughing into the world
Baby, make me better before I break you under my

[Chorus]
Back in the day, mama held me steady, steady
Back in the day, mama held me steady
I don't feel that steady
Back in the day, mama held me steady, steady
Back in the day, mama—

[Verse 3]
It's hard to see how living is easy
The higher you fly, the harder you fall
You won't always feel this way
One day you're dead, what more can I say?
It's hard to see how living is easy

[Verse 4]
Then I take a moment to see myself
Hey, girl
Wasn't even a mirror but some quote
Left high upon the shelf
Telling me I'm cruel and weak as hell
I can't control you or myself
Sorry's getting old, it's getting stale
Don't do me well

[Chorus]
Back in the day, mama held me steady, steady
Back in the day, mama held me steady
I don't feel that steady
Back in the day, mama held me steady, steady
Back in the day, mama—
I don't feel that steady
Back in the day, mama held me steady
