What's goin' on is troubling me
Will there be a new century
Well, lookin' at the world today

Babies havin' babies
Brothas killin' brothas
Where were living

Mothers have no say
Children walking away
Walking astray
Street life is what they portray
Do as they please
Whether it's good or bad, bad or good
Commiting crime with ease
Young men sells on the street
You look at me
Girls wheres you moral standards

Take one step at a time[remember, remember]
Keeping love in your life

I am not saying it's easy to be what you want to be
And I am not saying to do something that you do not want to do
You need to be smart
Friends come and go just like fashions in the season
Which is just a reason why you must take ear to what I am saying
I may be young
You gotta believe me

Take one step at a time
Can't let life pass you by [don't let it pass you by]
Take one step at a time [at a time, remember, remember]
Keeping love in your life [life is what you make it]

Take one step at a time[remember, remember]
Keepin' love in your life [life is what you make it]
One step at a time
One step at a time [life is what you make it]
One step at a time, one step at a time
One step at a time
