Tunnel Vision Lyrics

When given the option to stop working
Most will choose to do so
When faced with an opportunity to prosper
Most will choose to just settle
Most will give up after not seeing immediate results
And never reach their full potential
Others will live in fear of the risk of failure
And fold under pressure in the face of uncertainty
But then there’s that one person who thinks differently
Who’s willing to risk failure when success is not guaranteed
Who’s willing to sacrifice
Cause they know it’s easier to make excuses then it is to make progress
Who finds strength when all hope is lost
And goes up against unrealistic odds
And that person’s me
Let’s Go


(Verse 1)
Yo I came in the game with a mind full of hatred
Pen full of anger and grinding to make
Working on my craft with pencil and a pad
As I’m looking at my past at the time that I’ve wasted
Too long have I been slept on
While only a select few praise in amazement
Too long have I been stepped on
As they kick me to the ground with my face in the pavement
Too long have they laughed in my face and
Dissed all the raps that I’ve scrapped in these pages
Knocked straight down with my face in the mud
But I got back up, now it’s back to the races
No more will I be giving in or stand down
Gotta be smart gotta really have it planned out
Time to grow up cause I gotta be a man now
Do it on my own, I ain’t looking for a handout
Gotta rhyme with a plan of attack
Veer from the lies and just handle the facts
Can’t rely on luck gotta earn my spot
Cause success ain’t gonna come and land in my lap
No more excuses, no more distractions
No more illusions, no more retractions
No more confusion, flow with a passion
Goals in my future are told through my actions

(Chorus)
My mind’s focused, eyes open, I’m on my grind
My rhyme flowin' is God chosen, I’m gonna shine
I speak with purpose when projecting my voice
I don’t believe in luck cause I know that success is a choice
I got my mind focused, eyes open, I’m on my grind
Long as my rhyme flow is God chosen, I’m gonna shine
I’m in a race against the clock and I got time on my side
So I’m starring through tunnel vision with my eyes on the prize

(Verse 2)
Yo I came in the game with my eyes on a Grammy
Big dreams then got denied by my family
Thickheaded man with a rhyme book handy
This is who I am, I ain’t never had a plan B
Gotta stay strong and believe like a Met fan
If you wanna get the attention of Def Jam
Gotta be original and gotta stand out
And do everything I can to separate me from the next man
Gotta lead with my passionate actions
Work till the craft of my rappin’ is mastered
Spit till my words are attacking the masses
The rapping assassin is back on you bastards
Every syllable I’m rhymin’ is raw
So I’m droppin’ their jaws till they plop on the floor
Cause I’ve hopped every hurdle on this obstacle course
So there ain’t no way that you’re stoppin’ the force
With a passion I’m blessed to rappin’ the best
But I’ve still never yet been called to the throne
I’ve been acting depressed, but my lack of success
Is nobody else’s fault but my own
So from here on out, Imma step on forward
Errands today gotta get done sober
Handle the game as I headhunt soldiers
Stand in my way and you’ll get run over

(Chorus)
My mind’s focused, eyes open, I’m on my grind
My rhyme flowin' is God chosen, I’m gonna shine
I speak with purpose when projecting my voice
I don’t believe in luck cause I know that success is a choice
I got my mind focused, eyes open, I’m on my grind
As long as my rhyme flow is God chosen, I’m gonna shine
I’m in a race against the clock and I got time on my side
So I’m starring through tunnel vision with my eyes on the prize
