The Aceflow Mixtape:

Acefire: Aceflow (Ketan Kapasi), Zzim (Stephen Palasi), & AK-47 (Akshay Goswami)

Track 6/13: Stepping Stone
Instrumental: When I'm Gone - Eminem

Thanks for watching!

As I lay here tonight,
Half sobbing, and half weeping,
All of this emotion comes from the worst possible reason

Like Benedict Arnold, she committed treason
How should I react, without thinking about cuttin lesions
Lesions in an arm, which Ive been holding from afar
Like the Mona Lisa, see the painting, and then leave it marred

I should still care and somewhere deep down there,
Is the air, thatll suffocate me and kill me, like the electric chair
Well I suppose not all that way, because Ill still be here to stay
But Im suffering too much from how I keep this mind state

This jealousy, this anger, and all these useless passions
Religion carries me over them, but the big ones keep me crashin
Not that shes laughing, but Id rather know another language
Just so I could stop listening to what puts me through this anguish

Like everything she says
Is making me go red
Code Red
Please stop before I lose my head
When Im gone, I understand that Im alone
Im staring at this little phone, wondering if you aint home
I look back at our past, and try to see what went wrong
Then realize Ive just been used as a stepping stone
Just needed someone when no one else was there,
Which I really think is something you shouldve shared
Because you used me to further your life, your career
You dont seem to notice my crystal clear, falling tear

I always cheered, and Id never drink a beer,
I stayed sane for you, maybe sometimes leered
Because you got caught up, wrapped up, in freaking out
But whats the point, if you just told me to see my way out

Im sittin on this couch, cant believe what I been through
After my whole great life, you just had to undo
Everything that I worked for, even in my dreams
Not materially, that stuff isnt what I need

But you took it all away, how can I explain
All this pain I feel, I need to stand in front of a train
Because when it smashes into me, itd be something I know
The only thing that seems familiar to me, and now its so cold


Snow is irrelevant, you were a blizzard
I gave you everything, but you became a blinged out lizard
Slithered away, like a demonic snake
I really wish you wouldve stayed, cut my birthday cake

When Im gone, I understand that Im alone
Im staring at this little phone, wondering if you aint home
I look back at our past, and try to see what went wrong
Then realize Ive just been used as a stepping stone
Just needed someone when no one else was there,
Which I really think is something you shouldve shared
Because you used me to further your life, your career
You dont seem to notice my crystal clear, falling tear


Fifty thousand people jumpin off in these dream I had
I was on stage, the crowd was yelling out my track
But as I tried to lean back, go behind the curtains
I suddenly felt a chill, and then I knew for certain

That I would never escape, this pain would never go away
Itll last till the end of my days, and I cant even say
What I really want to, not on a mixtape
But if I could say it loud, I would, I wouldnt hesitate

Such is the agony, such is the tragedy,
That I feel, even if you could care less, reality
Dictates that you should think, oh did I hurt him?
Because I dont know where you got off thinking I wasnt a person

But if you wanna leave, thats fine, Im a dynamic guy
I aint never droppin standards, Ill search till the end of life
Ill go to sleep at one, wake up two hours later
Laugh at success, celebrate all my failures

I wont change who I am, imma make it with this plan
You will never understand, how much Im really grand
Imma kick it with my homies, you aint ever have to stand
Next to me again, you in the sky, and Im still on the land, right?

You feel sorry for me, oh I need sympathy
From you of all people, you say the weather is a rainy degree
But how could any day be a rainy day if everydays a rainy day
Meaning any one of your bad days, is just my everyday
