Eyes on the Prize Songtext
von Tek

Heading to the top at light speed in this ting
Yeah it′s really been a ride at the blinking of an eye I swear
It's all just gone by so fast
But I′m taking hold of life and I'm heading to the sky up there
I'm not flirting with death
Cos when you′re getting to the end
You′ll be relishing your last few breaths
I can't be wasting my time
I′m gonna keep going
Using all my fuel till there's nothing else left


Can you imagine the darkness
Looking for affection when they′re acting so heartless
That's not an environment I wanna be part of
Putting on a face, should be taking their mask off (bare)
Cause we′re all human beings in the end
Even when they hide it there's emotional trends
Pressure to stay strong, you're faking again
So I just keep a blank face and I′m copying them
Yeah
They think that′s what it is to be a man
Holding in emotions so they don't know that you′re sad
A lot of people struggle but I don't do bad
Comfortable on my own two feet where I stand
And I′m moving
But with the weight of the world I'm like Atlas
Surviving in any terrain I′m like cactus
How'd I get here it took a little practice
Now I know the secrets of life cos I cracked it
They expected a success
Now look where I stand, see I did it I guess
It's my body and mind that I put to the test
Said I couldn′t, now they′re clapping cos them man are impressed
Uh
And there's a reason for it
I didn′t squeeze a bullet
I used brains for respect and I'm better for it
They respect my position
Respecting the come up
Haven′t got a Grammy yet cos I'm taking a run up

Heading to the top at light speed in this ting
Yeah it′s really been a ride at the blinking of an eye I swear
It's all just gone by so fast
But I'm taking hold of life and I′m heading to the sky up there
I′m not flirting with death
Cos when you're getting to the end
You′ll be relishing your last few breaths
I can't be wasting my time
I′m gonna keep going
Using all my fuel till there's nothing else left


Never been one for no handouts
Standout begging for some cash cos you ran out
I make sure I stay way way up
No qualms with the bank cos they′re making bucks
Yeah
Purely interest I'm raking in a years wage
Living off of all the benefits my career made
It wasn't always like that, back in past days
Wanting to become a success for my Marjay
I became strong, I was Atlas
Yeah I had a heavy load just like a mattress
But he didn′t complain, so I wouldn′t
People saying I should give up but I couldn't
I shouldn′t put the weight down it was my job
Had all of my eyes on the prize, a cyclops
They were dry, but the fruits of my work were eyedrops
I was young but was heading to the top like Mike ross

Heading to the top at light speed in this ting
Yeah it's really been a ride at the blinking of an eye I swear
It′s all just gone by so fast
But I'm taking hold of life and I′m heading to the sky up there
I'm not flirting with death
Cos when you're getting to the end
You′ll be relishing your last few breaths
I can′t be wasting my time
I'm gonna keep going
Using all my fuel till there′s nothing else left
