Watch Where You're Steppin'

Verse 1:

They say a, friend with weed means a friend in deed,
So once a blue moon we lean on the grass to blaze green,
Me and Dean, two stand-ups sat down by the tree,
Chattin’ our roots; the stupid things we did in the street,
giggle a treat, reminisce to when we were three,
n’ picture us a dozen from now jus’ livin’ our dreams,
bop to the stream, the water mirrors back us two teens
Flickin’ a splee, thinkin’ ‘what’s just round the corner for me?’

This rock crashes through the water splash my adidas,
It’s Dan, the gang, cacklin’, Dean calls ‘em the Alley Rats,
They happy slap my back, drop my baggy and my pack of fags,
But Dan is grabbin ‘em ‘let’s smoke up at my shabby flat!’
Snatch ‘em back, Dean’s got maths n’ adds “don’t fancy that,
Jus’ wastin’ cash’ on munchin take away’s and gettin’ prang,”
‘forget him man,’ Dan says ‘I’ll treat ya to a lamb kebab,’
I should head back Dean but screw it man I’m gettin’ mashed.

Hit the flat, rip a rizla, nick a bit of fag
Pick the sticky leaf off from the bud n’ stick it back,
Pinch the bag, flick the flint and bun a little drag
Feel it singe a lung but f@#K it take a bigger drag,
Fill the flat, up with smoke s#*t now I’m coughin’ hard,
Gobble sugar wrap my teeth around ten chocolate bars,
My noggin’s spinnin’ thinkin’ what’s Dan gigglin’ at me for?-I
crash sinkin’, as the flat’s fillin’ with paranoia.

Chorus:

Watch Where Ya Steppin’ be careful who ya walk with,
Watch Where Ya Steppin’ who ya listen to and talk with,
Watch Where Ya Steppin’ Who you hangin’ out with today?
Watch where Ya Steppin’ don’t b lead astray 'cause

Watch Where Ya Steppin’ be careful who ya mates are,
Watch Where Ya Steppin’ Who’s got your back when you face harm?
Watch Where Ya Steppin’ Who you hangin’ out with today?
Watch Where Ya Steppin’ don’t b lead astray 'cause

Verse 2:

I try to, open my eyelids but the natural light is blindin’,
Clock the time, should’ve been in class at nine revisin,
Not surprised’, smellin’ the spice an old ashtray,
Or ringing’ up teachers skivin’ “sick night miss, got a mashed brain”
Kebab stains, n’ hot rock spots cover my clean jeans,
Plus a dozen missed calls from Dean, havn’t seen him three weeks,
Or three months? Man, can’t think facts up for the life of me?
Who swiped that bag of skunk that was right here by the side of me?

Ya’ eyeing’ me? I’m eyeing’ you, nah, you gotta be blind mate,
Saw you wroughtin’ it all night, ‘shocked that you’re still alive mate,
Ya lyin’ mate, ‘see the devil behind you smile mate
God’s sake Dan where is it!? ‘need to pay my dealer by Friday,
You’re mind sane? Ya drivin’ the wrong side of the right brain,
left ya’ bed by the moonlight n’ slept-blazed it in the night mate,
I don’t like pain Dan but I’ll take pleasure causin’ a migrane,
Gimme the weed, ain’t got it doc, f@*k you then, well fine mate

Chorus:

Watch Where Ya Steppin’ be careful who ya walk with,
Watch Where Ya Steppin’ who ya listen to and talk with,
Watch Where Ya Steppin’ Who you hangin’ out with today?
Watch where Ya Steppin’ don’t b lead astray 'cause

Watch Where Ya Steppin’ be careful who ya mates are,
Watch Where Ya Steppin’ Who’s got your back when you face harm?
Watch Where Ya Steppin’ Who you hangin’ out with today?
Watch Where Ya Steppin’ don’t b lead astray 'cause

Verse 3:

I kick the front door in as I leave the flat, (kick)
in disbelief they would steal the weed n’ jus’ thieve the bag,
I need a miracle, or better still I need a fag,
God please send me the strength to beat my dealer when he’s mad
I need a plan, so I ring dean, ‘I need a hand,
I need a hundred and fifteen to pay my dealer back’
What? you need a bank, not gonna lend that easy man,
Since smokin’ weed with Dan, you never bothered to meet me man

I call my dealer, well, force myself to bosh the keys,
‘cause how the f@#k do I explain to Steve I’ve lost his weed?
Err, “was fast asleep, n’ I woke jus’ wasn’t there,”
‘oh.’ ‘suppose the ganja fairy came n’ took it yeah?
Yeah, well, no, erm, “thing is Steve I need a week,”
‘Nah, you got three seconds to explain a way meet this fee,’
“No friend’ll lend me steve, I even asked Lloyd TSB,”
‘One, two, ‘better drag your arse, the park by three,’

Chorus:

Watch Where Ya Steppin’ be careful who ya walk with,
Watch Where Ya Steppin’ who ya listen to and talk with,
Watch Where Ya Steppin’ Who you hangin’ out with today?
Watch where Ya Steppin’ don’t b lead astray 'cause

Watch Where Ya Steppin’ be careful who ya mates are,
Watch Where Ya Steppin’ Who’s got your back when you face harm?
Watch Where Ya Steppin’ Who you hangin’ out with today?
Watch Where Ya Steppin’ don’t b lead astray 'cause

Bridge:

If I could go back,
To the park that day
I would take a breath & just walk the other way,
Wish I could go back,
To the park that day,
I would turn around & just walk the other way.

Verse 4:

My Fingers wanna roll a smoke I can’t sit still,
Still pretty shocked little old me owes such an epic bill,
I take it real steady trekkin’ to the field,
‘cause what’s the point in leggin’ it? I’m gettin killed.
A sudden chill shudders down my spine, clock behind,
A dark shadow towers’ over me n’ blocks’ the light
“Steve’ hi,” ‘where’s the money,’ “shit he’s got a knife!,”
Shoves’ me back ‘against the fence, I won’t say it twice!

I’m beggin “please steve” then Dean rocks up on his bike,
Like he’s toured de france droppin’ Steve a wad of fives,
‘You’re one lucky swine, havin’ mates to watch ya spine,
He struts away, I gaze down n’ drop a proper sigh,
“where’d you get the cash?” ‘stashed it for a darker day,’
“Mate I’m sorry, wish I’d never left the park that day,”
‘Doesn’t matter mate, jus’ av toke on that ol’ friend,’
“You must be jokin’ bruv, I’m never touchin’ that again.”

Chorus:

Watch Where Ya Steppin’ be careful who ya walk with,
Watch Where Ya Steppin’ who ya listen to and talk with,
Watch Where Ya Steppin’ Who you hangin’ out with today?
Watch where Ya Steppin’ don’t b lead astray 'cause

Watch Where Ya Steppin’ be careful who ya mates are,
Watch Where Ya Steppin’ Who’s got your back when you face harm?
Watch Where Ya Steppin’ Who you hangin’ out with today?
Watch Where Ya Steppin’ don’t b lead astray 'cause
