Pick Up The Pace

Just pick up the pace
Pick up the pace
Uh huh

I been running for a long time
Running from my damn self
It's been real wild
I been chasing all these Visions
That I've always seen
But wonder to myself
Is it all a dream
Can I really make it to the damn top
Will I ever even get my own shot
I wonder are my songs gonna flop
Fuck that, Nigga don't ever stop

Cause you working real hard
And you getting to the bag
And you going different places
Through a pin and pad
Everybody want a spot
In the top of the class
Until it's time to put in work
Then the first become last
Very few in the world
Really accomplish all they dream
Whether their on the radio
Or on the big movie screens
Only time we really tell
Who really said what they mean
Cause some gonna fold
Like the creases in jeans

Just pick up the pace
Pick up the pace
Uh huh

I want the baton
So I can run on this race
No silver or bronze
I just want the first place
Mind of a scholar
Thoughts of a genius
Just hand me a mic
I rise like the Phoenix
And shine like the Sun
On a bright sunny day
Just get out my way
Before your clouds turn to gray
Cause I'm on me a mission
And nobody could stop me
The eye of the tiger
The calling me Rocky

And I'm rocking the boat
Man that's love to Aaliyah
The boat keep on going
And I am it's leader
That mean I'm the captain
We on the high Seas
But I got all these pirates
They trynna rob me
That's a figure of speech
Just letting you know
That people gonna hate
That's how life goes
But keep ya head high
And finish this race
But always remember
Just pick up the pace
