[Intro] Ten steps, ten steps... They blink, I pivot. They think, I live it. Ten... steps... ahead... [Verse 1] I don't chase dreams, I draft ‘em, wake up, then I map ‘em, They stuck on "maybe someday" while I patent every anthem. Ten steps ahead like I’m waltzin' through déjà vu, I seen what they doin’ next week, it’s déjà who? I don’t clock time, I bend it, pulse shift, my tempo, They stuck in circles, zero... zero... Blueprints in my backpack, future in my pen cap, They talkin’ next moves, I’m already past that. [Hook] Ten steps ahead, ten steps ahead, Every move they makin’, I already said. Ten steps ahead, ten steps ahead, By the time they start, I’m breakin’ the thread. Ten steps ahead... rewind it, They follow footprints, I design it. Ten steps ahead... remind ‘em, I’m the voice in their silence, timeless. [Verse 2] I’m the plot twist scribbled in invisible ink, They sip slow sips, I’m shifting the brink. I'm the chessboard flipper, silence the ticker, They scroll, I script, truth hits quicker. I don’t dream of cars or chains, I dream of changing thrones and unlearning pain. Truth coiled like a loop in disguise, They toast to the top, I sip truth in my lies. See I ghost through the greed, plant ideas in cement, While they beg for the breeze, I breathe what’s meant. Answers in my arsenal, artifacts of anomaly, They mimic my wave, but they miss the autonomy. [Hook] Ten steps ahead, ten steps ahead, Every move they makin’, I already said. Ten steps ahead, ten steps ahead, By the time they start, I’m breakin’ the thread. Ten steps ahead... rewind it, They follow footprints, I design it. Ten steps ahead... remind ‘em, I’m the voice in their silence, timeless. [Pause] [Bridge] Maps in my thoughts, moves in my game. They chase the crown, I melt the chains. Thought they saw me stall, nah, just changed lanes, Whole game a mirror, and they just see frames. [Final Hook] Ten steps ahead, ten steps ahead, I show the blueprints, they just tread. Ten steps ahead, ten steps ahead, While they pick a king, I play instead. Ten steps ahead... rewind it, They follow footprints, I design it. Ten steps ahead... remind ‘em, I’m the silence they can’t define yet.
