High Step - Sage Francis[00:00:01]
You can't make it to heaven with a high step[00:00:06]
You can't make it to heaven with a high step[00:00:08]
I played both sides of the field[00:00:12]
I was better at defense[00:00:14]
They put me out for special teams[00:00:15]
The college league wasn't impressed[00:00:16]
But the press called me a work horse[00:00:17]
I ignored it like the crowd[00:00:19]
I had calories to burn off[00:00:21]
And I made my parents proud[00:00:22]
A jersey with a number that concealed faulty equipment[00:00:23]
A cog in the machine but the team saw me as different[00:00:25]
Old beyond my years[00:00:29]
My chest hair was like a carpet sweater[00:00:31]
They made me leader[00:00:32]
I wore that C like a scarlet letter[00:00:34]
Whether hot or cold[00:00:35]
I had to avoid the loss[00:00:37]
And play better then the competitor[00:00:38]
Whether or not I won the coin toss[00:00:39]
I watched it flip in slow motion[00:00:41]
While I considered the odds[00:00:43]
But it's a sin to gamble[00:00:44]
So I left the risk to God[00:00:45]
We had a locker room prayer[00:00:47]
Where we all lobbied the lord[00:00:48]
I pretended to know the words[00:00:50]
Bowed my head and mouthed along[00:00:51]
That was my way then[00:00:52]
I was a slave to the play pen[00:00:54]
Where I tried to make friends[00:00:55]
And couldn't wait to say "Amen"[00:00:57]
Then hit the field[00:00:58]
With a shield that was dented[00:01:00]
And a sword that was warped by the wars that I've entered[00:01:01]
I'm a veteran[00:01:04]
With all this medicine on my plate[00:01:06]
Because the game that we played[00:01:07]
Was "How Much Pain Can You Tolerate "[00:01:08]
Can you do it without showing signs of it [00:01:10]
Without fooling yourself so you don't know when it's time to quit[00:01:13]
Hell no[00:01:16]
Well Amen[00:01:17]
Give me the pig skin kid[00:01:18]
I'm head huntin for Satan[00:01:21]
Throwin' elbows[00:01:22]
Til they're breaking[00:01:22]
The coach made em look normal just by the that he taped them[00:01:24]
I never went pro[00:01:27]
I jgot paid in admiration and respect[00:01:29]
But all of that seems to be changin[00:01:31]
Tried to make it heaven with a high step[00:01:33]
Tried to make to heaven with a high step[00:01:35]
Tried to make to heaven with a high step[00:01:39]
And get get it get it done[00:01:42]
Before we reach sudden death[00:01:44]
