August Alsina - Footsteps lyrics

God grant me patience to accept
The things I cannot change
To realize sometimes it's gon' be pain
I need a smile to help me through the fame
Sometimes in life I wish I
Could escape from reality
When shit's too real
Wish I could find a way to just not feel
I wanna be in a rage
Somethin' inside of me says, "Peace
Be still" you have people in this world
Who really need you
And it's a few that's come and
Said they never leave you
Some of them had to go
Or they we're gonna bleed you
They couldn't go to places life
Was gonna lead you
There gon' be some days you gon' wish
That you could throw it all away
It's okay when you're goin' through
To say that you're afraid
So cliché to say that it's
Gon' be some better days
But it won't always be this way
So don't lose the faith

Since we're bein' honest
Losses always come with trauma
Lost a sister and a brother
But my nieces lost a father and a mama
And I could relate
Sometimes it's like I lost mine too
Tryin' not to lose my mind, I'm so confused
'Cause I don't have a clue
To what I'm gonna do
But I know some blessings comin'
Need some help to show these girls what
It's gon' take to be a woman by the way
I got fans who wanna know
If music goin' away
And a girl who feel abandoned
So she abandoned me
Thought she knew that lovin' me
Was not a holiday
Needed your presence not a present, girl
On Christmas day
Too many choices, too many ru ooh-ules
How do I find myself? I'm losin' you
How could you not see
What I'm goin' through?
Not gonna beg you to stay around
Took me a minute to realize
All that I want you to be with me is honest
Neither of us know what we wanted
But all we knew is that we cared
And all we painted was a moment

You should know, just in a case
When I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud
So you could follow me
And when I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud
So you could follow me
I got tired of holdin' water
Slips right through your fingers
We both end up drownin'
It would hit the ground
And the path would wash away wash away

I left footsteps in the ground (Ground)
I left footsteps in the ground (Ground)
I left footsteps on the ground oh yeah
I left footsteps on the ground
Footsteps in the ground
