One Foot
F.U.N. Lyrics

I'm standing in Brooklyn just waiting for something to happen
I am currently in Brooklyn, not doing anything in particular, just waiting for an event or occurrence that I believe may happen.

I can’t help but love thinking that everyone doesn’t get it
I have a fondness for the idea that not everyone understands or comprehends what I do.

To my left there’s a window
There is a window located to the left of my physical position.

Where did I go?
I am questioning my current thoughts or actions, unsure of my motivations or desires.

My reflection just planted two rows of coal
Looking at my reflection, I realize that I have been engaging in activities or decisions that are detrimental to my well-being or future prospects.

And bad ideas, but ideas nonetheless, and so
Despite the negative consequences of my actions or decisions, I find value in at least attempting something, even if the outcome is not in my favor.

I put one foot in front of the other one, oh oh oh
I’m taking life step by step and moving forward, albeit slowly and with repeated effort.

I don’t need a new love or a new life just a better place to die
I’m content with my current state of existence, not seeking any major changes, only seeking a peaceful end to my life when it inevitably comes.

I happened to stumble upon a chapel last night
Recently, I had a chance encounter with a chapel or religious space without intending to do so.

And I can’t help but back up when I think of what happens inside
Thinking about the activities or events that occur within the chapel makes me uneasy or hesitant about being associated with it.

I got friends locked in boxes, that's no way to live
Some of my acquaintances or loved ones are trapped or confined in a situation or lifestyle that they find unbearable, which is not a satisfactory way to live.

What you're callin' a sin isn’t up to them
The standards or expectations labeled or defined as illegal, sinful, or immoral aren't always up for debate or change by the individuals involved.

After all, (after all) I thought we were all your children,
As children of a higher power or entity, I believed that we were all equally loved and accepted, regardless of our actions or beliefs.

But I will die for my own sins thanks a lot
I recognize that I will eventually face the consequences of my own actions or mistakes, without outside interference or intervention.

We’ll rise up ourselves thanks for nothing at all,
As individuals, we must work together and reinforce each other without relying on any additional help or support.

So up off the ground up our forefathers are nothing but dust now
Our ancestors once held great importance and significance, but they have now passed on and are nothing but discarded matter or remains.

Maybe I should learn to shut my mouth
I am contemplating the idea that I should speak or express myself less often or more carefully.

I am over twenty-five and I can’t make a name for myself some nights I break down and cry
Despite my age, I feel that I haven’t accomplished anything significant or noteworthy, causing me to occasionally become overwhelmed with sadness or frustration.

I’m lucky that my father’s still alive he’s been fighting all his life
I realize that I am fortunate to have a father who is still alive and has struggled or faced challenges throughout his life.

And if this is all I’ve ever known then may his soul live on forever in my song
If my limited experiences and interactions have informed my understanding or values, then I hope to carry on my father's spirit and legacy through my creative expression or music.

In front of the other one
Continuing to progress in life through perseverance and effort.

Just a better place to die
Finding a more fulfilling or satisfying way to conclude my life when that time comes.
