We're in the year 2003
Will there be a next century?
Well, lookin' at the world today

Babies havin' babies
Brothas killin' brothas
Where we're living?

Mothers have no say
Children walking away
Walking astray
Street life is what they portray

Do as they please
Whether its good or bad, bad or good
Committing crime with ease

Young men sells on the street
You look at me
Girls, where's your 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
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
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

One step at a time
One step at a time
One step at a time

One step at a time
