SC Static - Tunnel Vision lyrics
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 pa**ion 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 pa**ionate actions Work till the craft of my rappin' is mastered Spit till my words are attacking the ma**es The rapping a**a**in is back on you ba*tards 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 pa**ion 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
