Got my eye the prize how could I not believe
Listen y'all ain't never seen me try and not succeed
Y'all ain't never seen me try and not succeed
Y'all ain't never seen me try and not succeed

Feeling like I've got the strength of Hercules
Y'all ain't never seen me try and not succeed

I look at folks who doubted me like "this must hurt for you"
They take credit for being around. They're not deserving to
Folks you're doper than lift up those worse than you
Then they gas you up when your fruits of labor emerge, it's true

I've been proving doubters wrong since my student stumbles though
They swear I'll succeed long as my ambition makes them comfortable
I was in the lab while you were popping bottles
College stages dodging coeds who resembled models

Cuffing season I'm holed up in the apartment
Obsessing over the art though
Hit the city to network
They expecting me to unsheathe my sword like I'm Leonardo
You could take advantage if you didn't try so hard though

In case that went over head like you're Phil Leotardo
You wish for it while I go pursue it pronto
You could claim that ignorance is bliss like it's your motto
But that logic has more holes than Alonzo's Monte Carlo

Got my

I eye the prize how could I not believe

What I have is not enough for me
Super nerd in school but my gutter cousins took up for me
Said don't move what we be moving hit the books andJust succeed
Told them I would get it. Push ahead long as I live and breathe

We'd be in the lunch room playing spades
Classes for the day
Then they'd be out pushing weight
This is what y'all glorify but they tried to escape
Covered me because they knew that I would get the grades

Coming out of Bucktown
Parties with these rich kids
back home they told me
My full ride came cuz of my pigment

Wasn't trying to hear that
When my scores could pin their ears back
Black boy in the T-Town mayor's office calling shots
Fear that?

While you're sitting on your haunches
Taking sho nuff shots at anybody who is launching
I am Leroy with my teeth boy. Spit that back and taunt ya
Wins got me feeling like I'm Thanos with that Gauntlet
Look I've got my

You know my mantra
Grind like ganja
Get away with murder when your Rhimes like Shonda
So good should be a freaking crime like Contra
I just came to take what’s mine like “danke”

One time offer
Unsigned unsponsored
Sunshined in concert
A monster

Little Eddie Munster
Behind you might chomp you
Sound bite molly whop you
Sasquatch stomp you

Touchy subject haunt you
Headless head honcho
Atta boy catapult
Hit me up, I’ll launch you
Atta boy catapult
Hit me up, I’ll launch you

(You don’t know what it takes to me
Takes to me
Takes to me)
