about

I Got You Every Step Of The Way (For Leone Ross): Leone Ross is one of my best friends, godmother to my daughter, and legit one of the reasons I’m still alive. I told her I’d write her a song. She likes it. Everything else is extra.

lyrics

Give it up for the for the OG crew
who never gave up on you
hold tight them ones in the end came thru
even tho you were sure you could never go good
Lights in the distance looking too dim
forecast for the future quite grim but
we carry on bredda hold up your chin
on my shoulder you can cling, she said

 I know
It’s Hard
It’s Hard
It’s hard sometimes
but I got you every step of the way

Hold tight dem last ones in the room
Shoulder to shoulder even on zoom
Hold tight them real anchors
that one if your life you can bank on
then 24/7 mask off ones
when the war drums sound it’s on sight ones
tuff love when you’re misbehaving
Real friends regardless of status
them ones withstand any hiatus
sat with you when your heart was a crater
share your pain shout your glory
This is not the end of your story
Lights in the distance looking too dimmer
forecast for the future quite grim
we carry on bredda hold up your chin
on my shoulder you can cling, she said

 I know
I know
It’s Hard
It’s hard sometimes
but I got you every step of the way

gleefully spilling the tea
Whataspping across the seas
Give the goss behind the screens
Dust the biscuits off your jeans

your cats knock cans off shelves
while you tell with me your failings
just to help me feel less alone in my alone
Ma’am I have no business having you as friend but trust
you were the one I can’t afford not to know
I hope one day i can pay back all this kindness you shown
And if you find yourself in a bad hour
never doubt it I will be by your side and singing

I know
I know
It’s Hard
It’s hard sometimes
but I got you every step of the way
