Step to My Girl
Souls of Mischief Lyrics

[Tajai]
Back back, way back, I used to fret that my honey
Would play me for one with more pap(er)s, still it was funny
'Cause she paid no mind as jerks lurked constantly
And my insecurity turned into maturity (I matured)
As the years pass I find it hard to be monogamous
So do other brothers, ???? and (?) ???? still synonymous
Catch crazy glance when I'm with female company
Some think I'm a softie and they step to her in front of me
So in public places I am often found in my trunk
Reaching for bats, and *smack* goes his spunk
Because I have the right to riff, and in spite
Of a few protests, progress and I might smite you
Once you come, your fronts, they got no future
Blunts blur my sight, get left and right suture
I know this, and also notice advances:
I peeped them pap(er)s in which he slipped to my dip
With numerals, and you're soon to roast thinking I'm jelly
'Cause numbers left in the gutter lead to lonely tellies (telephones)
(God damn, why won't she call?)
'Cause we see who's pee-wee and we see who's me
The difference is Vaseline: You're slipping while I'm skin-dipping
Grips, and grips of chumps my way:
Slumped from back-bumps on rumps, 'cause I flay
So why play, 'cause Tajai has to flip
I found mine, so find your own companionship

[Chorus]
Every time I see you in the world
You always step my girl
But ask yourself homeboy - Why is that?

[A-Plus]
Brothers get jealous when I'm chilling with my dip
Just because she's flyer, you try to, play me like Milton Bradley
I'm mad, G, just because you've gotta settle for Maggie
Or Agnes, maybe Mathilda the Witch, yo
I'mma have to beat you if you call her a bitch, yo
Keep your mind off what's mine for the keeping (yup)
Or I'll put a bomb in your house while you're sleeping (boom!)
Keep your distance, Hiero is watching you

Step by step, I never slept, I gots to do lots
'Cause you brothers never respect who you should (me)
Try to be my friend, and it might do you good (yeah)
Get down with the program, hey yo man yo
Don't even look at my girl on a slow jam
Of course not, you'll never get that close (nah)
To her soft skin, rest in a coffin
If you ever disrespect, I'll twist your neck
If I've got a bat, I might get pissed and flex (boom)
'Cause your tramp ain't got a stamp of approval
When I get mine with this rhyme, your crew will
Have to learn the hard way, I'll have to slam you like Hammer
So I bet you'll all break
Even though his song is wack, mine's not
Your girl will never get the props that mine got

[Chorus]

[Opio]
I'm the brother stepping with the flyer female companion
Others be scheming or scamming, dreaming, planning, plotting
Trying to make moves when I'm not in the vicinity
I'll fill that ass with splinters, see
Pull a wood bat, would that change your disposition?
Wishing you was in my position, kissing and hugging on a goddess
But I stay humble and modest
Brothers want to rumble, but they stumble and fumble
'Cause they get pummelled by the mischievous
You might catch a whiff of this sneaker
Seek the company of my sweet senorita?
Swing a bat like _The Natural_, break your clavicle
Fracture femurs, as you scream I'm overcome with laughter
I'm the champion, my man slaps me ten
'Cause he's twice as nice, twice the jealousy
'Cause fellas see they don't suffice
Opio Lindsey spins the spinal cords
Of the hordes of the Huckleberry Finns
My knuckles are buried in chins
'Cause it offends when you're stepping
Adrenalin is pumping, I thump chumps with my weapon
Moments of tranquility abruptly have to cease
Walking hand in hand, when one feels he has to speak his piece
Should I pull a piece and unleash a couple of bullets?
Would it persuade a brother to turn his head and foot it
In the opposite direction, throat sets in his chin
Recognized that I fooled him

[Chorus x2]
Everytime she sees you




She could just take off
And you could just let off steam by screaming

Overall Meaning

The song "Step To My Girl" by Souls of Mischief is a track about the jealousy and insecurity that come with being in a relationship. In the first verse, Tajai talks about how he used to be insecure about his girl leaving him for someone with more money. However, he grew out of that insecurity and became more mature. He sees himself as being monogamous, unlike other guys who give into temptation. He also mentions how some guys think he's soft and try to hit on his girl in front of him, but he won't stand for it - he'll reach for a bat and knock them out.


A-Plus's verse is about how jealous other guys get when he's chilling with his girl. He talks about how some guys settle for less attractive women and try to bring down his girl to make themselves feel better. He warns other guys to keep their distance and not disrespect his girl, otherwise they may face consequences. Opio's verse is about how he's always stepping out with his attractive female companion, and other guys are scheming and plotting to get with her. He warns them not to mess with his girl or else they'll have to face the consequences.


The chorus throughout the song asks why other guys always step to their girl, which implies that the jealousy and competition over women is an ongoing issue that they deal with.


Overall, the song is a commentary about how men can be possessive and jealous over their girlfriends or partners, and how this can lead to confrontations and even violence.

In the past, I used to worry that my girlfriend would leave me for someone with more money, but it was silly because she paid no attention to other guys. This insecurity helped me mature over time.


As the years pass I find it hard to be monogamous So do other brothers, ???? and (?) ???? still synonymous Catch crazy glance when I'm with female company Some think I'm a softie and they step to her in front of me
As time goes by, it's harder to be faithful to one partner. Other guys have the same struggle and still view women as objects. People judge me for being monogamous and try to hit on my girlfriend in front of me.


So in public places I am often found in my trunk Reaching for bats, and *smack* goes his spunk Because I have the right to riff, and in spite Of a few protests, progress and I might smite you
I carry a bat with me in public to defend my girlfriend's honor. I have the right to stand up for her, despite some people disagreeing. I might have to fight for her if necessary.


Once you come, your fronts, they got no future Blunts blur my sight, get left and right suture I know this, and also notice advances: I peeped them pap(er)s in which he slipped to my dip With numerals, and you're soon to roast thinking I'm jelly 'Cause numbers left in the gutter lead to lonely tellies (telephones)
After a guy hits on my girlfriend, he doesn't have a future with her. Smoking weed clouds my judgement, but I'm aware of the guys trying to make moves on her. I've seen the papers with numbers that guys have given my girlfriend, but I'm not jealous because those numbers won't lead to anything meaningful.


'Cause we see who's pee-wee and we see who's me The difference is Vaseline: You're slipping while I'm skin-dipping Grips, and grips of chumps my way: Slumped from back-bumps on rumps, 'cause I flay So why play, 'cause Tajai has to flip I found mine, so find your own companionship
The guys who try to hit on my girlfriend are small-time compared to me. I'm smooth with her while they're struggling. I attract a lot of losers who try to get with us because of her. They get humiliated because I'm better than them. I'm not playing around - I'm committed to my girlfriend, and other people should find their own love.


Every time I see you in the world You always step my girl But ask yourself homeboy - Why is that?
Whenever I go out with my girlfriend, guys always try to hit on her. They should ask themselves why they feel the need to do that.


Brothers get jealous when I'm chilling with my dip Just because she's flyer, you try to, play me like Milton Bradley I'm mad, G, just because you've gotta settle for Maggie Or Agnes, maybe Mathilda the Witch, yo I'mma have to beat you if you call her a bitch, yo
Other guys get jealous when I hang out with my girlfriend just because she's beautiful. They try to manipulate me and take advantage of my insecurities. I get angry when they call her names because they don't have anyone as great as her.


Step by step, I never slept, I gots to do lots 'Cause you brothers never respect who you should (me) Try to be my friend, and it might do you good (yeah) Get down with the program, hey yo man yo Don't even look at my girl on a slow jam
I'm always on guard because guys don't have respect for me or my girlfriend. They should try to be my friend instead of hitting on my girlfriend. Don't even think about touching her during a slow song.


Of course not, you'll never get that close (nah) To her soft skin, rest in a coffin If you ever disrespect, I'll twist your neck If I've got a bat, I might get pissed and flex (boom)
You can never get too close to my girlfriend or her soft skin. If you ever disrespect her, I'll hurt you. If I have my bat, I might go crazy and attack you.


'Cause your tramp ain't got a stamp of approval When I get mine with this rhyme, your crew will Have to learn the hard way, I'll have to slam you like Hammer So I bet you'll all break Even though his song is wack, mine's not Your girl will never get the props that mine got
Your girlfriend is not good enough for me to approve of. When I rap about my girlfriend, your crew will realize that they don't measure up. You'll learn the hard way that I'll defeat you like MC Hammer did. Even though your song is bad, mine is good. Your girlfriend will never be as amazing as mine.


I'm the brother stepping with the flyer female companion Others be scheming or scamming, dreaming, planning, plotting Trying to make moves when I'm not in the vicinity I'll fill that ass with splinters, see
I'm the guy who's with the beautiful girl that everyone wants. Other guys are always trying to make moves on her when I'm not around. If they cross a line, I'm not afraid to hurt them.


Pull a wood bat, would that change your disposition? Wishing you was in my position, kissing and hugging on a goddess But I stay humble and modest Brothers want to rumble, but they stumble and fumble 'Cause they get pummelled by the mischievous
If I pulled out a bat, would that make you think twice about hitting on my girlfriend? You wish you were in my position, with a beautiful girlfriend to kiss and hug. But I don't let it get to my head - I stay humble. Other guys try to fight me, but they end up getting beaten by me.


You might catch a whiff of this sneaker Seek the company of my sweet senorita? Swing a bat like _The Natural_, break your clavicle Fracture femurs, as you scream I'm overcome with laughter
You might smell my dirty shoe as I approach you. Are you really trying to hit on my girlfriend? I might hit you with a bat like in 'The Natural' and break your bones as you scream in pain. It's funny to me.


I'm the champion, my man slaps me ten 'Cause he's twice as nice, twice the jealousy 'Cause fellas see they don't suffice Opio Lindsey spins the spinal cords Of the hordes of the Huckleberry Finns My knuckles are buried in chins
I'm the champion for having the best girlfriend. My friend congratulates me with a high-five, but he's also jealous. Guys see that they can't compare to me. I hurt people like Opio Lindsey does in my fights. I punch people in the chin.


'Cause it offends when you're stepping Adrenalin is pumping, I thump chumps with my weapon Moments of tranquility abruptly have to cease Walking hand in hand, when one feels he has to speak his piece Should I pull a piece and unleash a couple of bullets? Would it persuade a brother to turn his head and foot it In the opposite direction, throat sets in his chin Recognized that I fooled him
It's offensive when guys hit on my girlfriend, which pumps up my adrenaline. I hurt these guys with my bat. Sometimes when we're walking together peacefully, someone says something and I feel the need to defend myself. Should I pull out a gun and scare them away? If I do, they'll recognize that I'm not someone to mess with.
