One Step Away
Dyme Def Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gave it to her before she dozed off
I'mma tip when the ho's call
But now I'm just a lost cause
Just sell me out I'm kinda lost dogs
I think I started too late
Let me take you back to the first date
Notice you ain't got no ringer any babies
When he ain't coming back too soon
I'm coming back at noon
I'm just trying to say we should invest in the future
Unless you got a future
Which other dude is best for something new
It started at the first date
See, I'm your fourth mate
She said that's so great
And it was worth the wait
See, I'm worth the hate
That's what the girls say
That's what the girl want
That's why the girls wait
Paradise is only one step away
A better night is only one step away
Love can travel anywhere
Paradise is only one step away
A better night is only one step away
Love can travel anywhere
See, it started from the first kiss
And we started like she my first chick
Who what the worst is?
All the shots we would throw at eachother
Until we drop and we come together like worship
I try to skip the arguments
And stick to courtship
But the devil's telling me it's more shit
So what I'm supposed to do
Testing your limits as if that's supposed to pull me code to you?
Who pulled you out that loop
Who pulled you out that group
You and I both know you wasn't raised in a chicken coup
That wasn't hidden proof
Now that I see a little light
Something I hid in you
Cause now you in the you
You forgot who brought who into something so beautiful
You beautiful but all you see is a mirror cubicle
And I ain't saying much out of the usual
But you been acting kinda' unusual
Paradise is only one step away
A better night is only one step away
Love can travel anywhere
Paradise is only one step away
A better night is only one step away
Love can travel anywhere
See really baby, I'm not the type of dude to be tied down
Livin' the fast life and I'm enjoying it right now
The thought of being linked to another woman is not me
But things change drastic when I met you
Roots planted in my quest
Love on this blue planet
The rest love to hate the fact you happy
Been hurt in the past
So you got your heart
You just gotta trust and try
Baby, open up your eyes
And you might be suprised that there is a decent guy
That doesn't cheat still alive
I'm downfor whatever love
I'm tryin' to learn the auto in you
The one to get lost in your world
I'm tryin' to be a part of it
Been comein' around the lot tryin' to convince
You that you have a good man
You need to attend to
I love my freedom too
Cause I'm ready to do life if that means I'm with you
Paradise is only one step away
A better night is only one step away
Love can travel anywhere
Paradise is only one step away
A better night is only one step away
Love can travel anywhere

So I took her clothes off
I undressed her gently
Gave it to her before she dozed off
I made sure she was comfortable before she fell asleep
I'mma tip when the ho's call
I am willing to pay for sexual services, but now I regret it
But now I'm just a lost cause
I feel hopeless and unable to change my situation
Just sell me out I'm kinda lost dogs
I feel like a lost puppy that has been abandoned and betrayed
I think I started too late
I realize that I should have acted sooner
Let me take you back to the first date
Let me relive the moment when we first met
Notice you ain't got no ringer any babies
I notice that you don't have any children or a current partner
She said a man is in the navy
She told me that her previous partner was in the military
When he ain't coming back too soon
When he was gone for a long time
I'm coming back at noon
I will return early
I'm just trying to say we should invest in the future
I am suggesting that we plan and prepare for the long term
Unless you got a future
Unless you have different plans and goals for your life
Which other dude is best for something new
Which other man is better suited for you and a fresh start
See, I'm your fourth mate
I am your fourth partner
She said that's so great
She expressed approval
And it was worth the wait
We both feel that the relationship was worth waiting for
See, I'm worth the hate
Despite the negativity, I am still valuable and desirable to some people
That's what the girls say
That's what other women have told me
That's what the girl want
That's what most women desire and expect
That's why the girls wait

Paradise is only one step away
A wonderful life is within reach
A better night is only one step away
A happier and more fulfilling experience is just a small change away
Love can travel anywhere
Love is not limited by distance or circumstances
See, it started from the first kiss
Our love story began with our first kiss
And we started like she my first chick
We began our relationship as if she was my first love
Who what the worst is?
Who knows what the worst outcome could be?
All the shots we would throw at eachother
All the negative comments and arguments we used to have
Until we drop and we come together like worship
Until we are exhausted and then we reconcile and make love
I try to skip the arguments
I try to avoid conflicts
And stick to courtship
And focus on building our relationship
But the devil's telling me it's more shit
But my inner demons are urging me to create more problems
So what I'm supposed to do
So what should I do in this situation?
Testing your limits as if that's supposed to pull me code to you?
Am I trying to push you away by seeing how much you can tolerate in our relationship?
Who pulled you out that loop
Who helped you break free from your past issues?
You and I both know you wasn't raised in a chicken coup
We both know that you were not brought up in poverty or hardship
That wasn't hidden proof
That was obvious and apparent
Now that I see a little light
Now that I have a better understanding of the situation
Something I hid in you
Something special that I initially did not notice
Cause now you in the you
Because now you are being yourself
You forgot who brought who into something so beautiful
You have forgotten that we both contributed to creating something wonderful
You beautiful but all you see is a mirror cubicle
You are physically attractive but you are only focused on yourself
And I ain't saying much out of the usual
I am not saying anything surprising or unexpected
But you been acting kinda' unusual
But you have been behaving in a strange or atypical way
See really baby, I'm not the type of dude to be tied down
Honestly, I am not the kind of person who likes to be committed to one person
Livin' the fast life and I'm enjoying it right now
I am currently enjoying my fast-paced lifestyle
The thought of being linked to another woman is not me
I am not comfortable with the idea of being in a serious relationship with another woman
But things change drastic when I met you
But my feelings changed dramatically when I met you
Roots planted in my quest
I have found something worth pursuing and nurturing in our relationship
Love on this blue planet
Love on this planet Earth
The rest love to hate the fact you happy
Other people envy your happiness
Been hurt in the past
I have experienced emotional pain in previous relationships
So you got your heart
So you are guarding your heart
You just gotta trust and try
You just need to have faith and take a chance
Baby, open up your eyes
Please start seeing things clearly
And you might be suprised that there is a decent guy
You might be pleasantly surprised that there is a good man out there for you
That doesn't cheat still alive
Who is faithful and honest
I'm downfor whatever love
I am willing to do anything for love
I'm tryin' to learn the auto in you
I am trying to understand your unique personality and behavior
The one to get lost in your world
The man who will immerse himself in your life and interests
I'm tryin' to be a part of it
I want to be a part of your life and your journey
Been comein' around the lot tryin' to convince
I have been trying to persuade you for a while
You that you have a good man
That I am a good partner for you
You need to attend to
You need to focus on and prioritize our relationship
I love my freedom too
I value my independence and freedom as well
Cause I'm ready to do life if that means I'm with you
Because I am willing to commit to a lifetime with you
