The Prize (feat. Sadat X)
A word to the wise
Keep a hunger in your eyes
And your eyes on the prize
Which is through adversity you rise
You ever wanted something so bad you closed your eyes and cried
A word to the wise
Keep a hunger in your eyes
And your eyes on the prize
Which is through adversity you rise
You ever wanted something so bad you closed your eyes and cried
A yo
My gears in motion perpetual
Forever will
Stay on my grind call me pepper mill
I'm a machine fine tuned tire never will
Step kinetic energetic on a higher field
Wired lightning fats, optic fiber
No high speed dreams, likes subscribers
Used to try to build empires with bricks like a Mason
Now I'm building temples with the older Gods knowledge chasin'
Word warlords wielding hammers, swords
While you're rappin' and social media flashing round yours
Actin like you want that street sign award
For dying young
That's no prize you're pitching me Cy Young
You could be a conquering lion
Stargazing like a Mayan
Championship belt shining like Orion
Held high, new horizon, clear atmosphere
Now be sincere, to you what's your most noble prize
Close your eyes picture it let that internalize
Don't hate successful people peep their blueprints analyze
Then customize, immobilize
But whatever floats that boat
You better balance the load
Or loose cargo
Vessel capsize
And you'll be swimming with the sharks, eating humble pie
Swallowing that pride
No lie
Seen it a million times
Please tell them my guy
Sometime it feel like life is one long day
If you mentally unstable it could go the wrong way
No gap
I still fuck with the salary cap
I'm the know how to make a dolla
In the midst of a pandemic
Don't take the road that's flooded
That's the mind fuck
You actin like you findin' some luck
They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery
Don't let them full your battery
That's subject to fail
Dotty X I'm a whole next whale
And granted this year was the shadow of death
I tried to keep it legal I cant afford another F
I'm the Shakespearian fuck a Macbeth
Its always money generating
Depending on how you innovatin'
I'm from a different team
Like some shit that you never seen
I'm not a pocket watcher or a slave to IG
I still bring life I just had a baby
Don't ever compare me
That's not fair B
Dotty X is a monument
Cop this shit and its money well spent
A word to the wise
Keep a hunger in your eyes
And your eyes on the prize
Which is through adversity you rise
You ever wanted something so bad you closed your eyes and cried
I got a abstract flow
Hip Hop Picasso
Each pen stroke Michelangelo
Pristine
Breathtaking Chapel Sistine
I can write a million words in one 16
Only you can unfold your Holy Grail scroll
Control, your mind body and soul
I maintained through the years stepping stone stroll
Now behold that yellow brick road is full of potholes
And God knows
There's a million ways to move through the maze
You'd be amazed if you really tried hard
You could take off fly far
Eat these Sun, Moon and Star energy bars
A yo, this beats motivating like a car commercial
Alphabetic callisthenic with a message universal
I'm a pro bowl talker and a walker like Herschel
I don't break people down, build them up, let them know their worthful
Writing epic poems zonin'
Channeling Virgil the Roman
When my minds roamin'
Victorious snapshots
Holdin a Golden Plaque Och
No need for yes men or mascots
Step be low key like the stash spot
Then boom hit the jackpot
A word to the wise
Keep a hunger in your eyes
And your eyes on the prize
Which is through adversity you rise
You ever wanted something so bad you closed your eyes and cried
A word to the wise
Keep a hunger in your eyes
And your eyes on the prize
Which is through adversity you rise
You ever wanted something so bad you closed your eyes and cried
Keep a hunger in your eyes
And your eyes on the prize
Which is through adversity you rise
You ever wanted something so bad you closed your eyes and cried
A word to the wise
Keep a hunger in your eyes
And your eyes on the prize
Which is through adversity you rise
You ever wanted something so bad you closed your eyes and cried
A yo
