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
