[Intro] (Clipped offbeat synth chords, rolling digital bassline) Yo... look around you, son. Not every hand dat shake you a your friend, yuh know? A pure snake inna di grass... Gotta keep yuh eyes open. Pat King! Watch this! [Chorus] Every step mi take, mi haffi watch mi step, Protect mi name and protect mi rep! Too much envy inna di place mi slept, So mi mind mi words and di secret kept. Yeah, watch mi step, everywhere mi go, 'Cause friend today a your tomorrow foe. Dem a smile inna yuh face when yuh speed real slow, But mi watch every move, 'cause di gyal dem know! [Verse 1] See dem pon di corner with di fake big smile, Haven't seen mi in a couple of month and a while. Now dem see di movement, dem see di new style, Suddenly dem wanna be mi brother in di file! Overheard a talk when mi pass di venue door, Same man a hate who was laughing before. When money start flow, dem a look fi some more, If yuh don't give dem nuttin', dem a call yuh a bore! Son, deadass, on di block dem a chat, Plotting pon di low how fi take what mi got. But mi mind stay sharp and mi head stay hot, Never catch Pat King slipping inna di spot! [Chorus] Every step mi take, mi haffi watch mi step, Protect mi name and protect mi rep! Too much envy inna di place mi slept, So mi mind mi words and di secret kept. Yeah, watch mi step, everywhere mi go, 'Cause friend today a your tomorrow foe. Dem a smile inna yuh face when yuh speed real slow, But mi watch every move, 'cause di gyal dem know! [Verse 2] Inna flatbush or inna Kingston town, Bad mind people always wanna bring yuh down. Dem wanna see yuh stress, dem wanna see yuh frown, Instead of bigging up di youth with di crown! Mi move with a few real bredgins mi trust, People who was there when mi side was in di dust. No time fi di noise, no time fi di lust, Staying focused pon di goal is an absolute must! Watch how dem switch when di spotlight shine, Claiming dat dem knew mi from back in ninety-nine. I keep mi eyes open, drawing up di line, Watch mi step every day, 'cause di victory a mine! [Bridge] (Bassline thins out to subtle rimshot, spacey dub delays) Step careful... don't stumble. Di street real cold, yuh haffi humble. Silent moves make di rumble... Watch dem fall and tumble! [Final Chorus] Every step mi take, mi haffi watch mi step, (Watch it, watch it!) Protect mi name and protect mi rep! Too much envy inna di place mi slept, So mi mind mi words and di secret kept. Yeah, watch mi step, everywhere mi go, 'Cause friend today a your tomorrow foe. Dem a smile inna yuh face when yuh speed real slow, But mi watch every move, 'cause di gyal dem know! [Outro] (Rolling bassline fading out with echo) Keep yuh eyes open. Watch your circle, son. Pat King. First Degree. Yeah...
