Step that step (video)

A - G - D (3x) - A

D

1. Well, mama told me when I was three,

G

“Lord, the street'll never get you nowhere.

D

You take a street car jumpin' and back beat bump

G

and get along like it isn't there.

D

You hold your head up high like you're gonna fly,

G

you take the bitter 'til you find the sweet.

D

And when you got that crowd and it's screamin' loud,

A G D

you leave them sittin' on the edge of their seats.”

A G D A G D

You gotta step that step, walk that walk,

A G D - A D

shake that thing, honey, talk that talk.

2. Well, Hollywood, if you knew no good,

G

keep you boppin 'til the break of day.

D

And no time to rest and you've got to feel blessed

G

'cause you're gonna get it anyway.

D

When you start to wail and your face turns pale,

G

you've got to pump it till your pistol pops.

D

And as the eagle flew baby so will you

A G D

‘cause you're climbin' all the way to the top.
