Next Best Step

[Pre-Intro] [Intro] Next best step? Back up two. Check your shoes. Whose footprints you walking through? Next best step? Back up two. Check your shoes Whose footprints you walking through?! [CHORUS] Boy, you’re barking up the wrong tree! You call it thought— It came pre chewed. You call it choice— They chose for you. You picked a side— They only gave you two. Boy, you’re barking up the wrong tree! You call it thought— It came pre chewed. You call it choice— They chose for you. You picked a side— They only gave you two. [Verse 1] Cut the context. Keep the quote. Dress the corpse and make it vote. Preload answers in the prompt - call it yours when it comes out! Crunch the numbers. Play a God. Bet the house against the odds. Name the living. Count the lost. Everything reduced to cost. Run the model. Set the bounds. Human errors rounded down Delete the names Report the growth Wash your hands Take the oath But death don't care who runs the show. And time don't ask before it goes! [CHORUS] Boy, you’re barking up the wrong tree! You call it thought— It came pre chewed. You call it choice— They chose for you. You picked a side— They only gave you two. Boy, you’re barking up the wrong tree! You call it thought— It came pre chewed. You call it choice— They chose for you. You picked a side— They only gave you two. [VERSE 2] Sell them panic by the gram. Cut it cheap and flood demand. Watch the worst. Lose your sleep. Go find worse. Swipe. Repeat. Ten more minutes misbehave. Something follows when you stray. Pick a stranger Pick a fight Feel important for the night Serve it broken. Serve it neat. Half a thought is all you need. Keep the signal short and sweet. Keep them scrolling through the week. AND NOBODY BITES WHEN YOU PULL THEIR TEETH! [CHORUS] BOY, YOU’RE BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE! YOU CALL IT THOUGHT— IT CAME PRE CHEWED. YOU CALL IT CHOICE— THEY CHOSE FOR YOU. YOU PICKED A SIDE— THEY ONLY GAVE YOU TWO. BOY, YOU’RE BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE! YOU CALL IT THOUGHT— IT CAME PRE CHEWED. YOU CALL IT CHOICE— THEY CHOSE FOR YOU. YOU PICKED A SIDE— THEY ONLY GAVE YOU TWO. [HOOK] Next best step? Back up two. Check your shoes. Whose footprints you walking through? Next best step? Back up two. Check your shoes Whose footprints you walking through?! [CHORUS] BOY, YOU’RE BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE! YOU CALL IT THOUGHT— IT CAME PRE CHEWED. YOU CALL IT CHOICE— THEY CHOSE FOR YOU. YOU PICKED A SIDE— THEY ONLY GAVE YOU TWO. BOY, YOU’RE BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE! YOU CALL IT THOUGHT— IT CAME PRE CHEWED. YOU CALL IT CHOICE— THEY CHOSE FOR YOU. YOU PICKED A SIDE— THEY ONLY GAVE YOU TWO. [outro] Next best step? Back up two. Check your shoes. Whose footprints you walking through? Next best step? Back up two. Check your shoes. Whose footprints you walking through? [post-outro] -
