Keep Your Eyes on the Prize Young MC

[Verse 1]
"Keep your eyes on the prize", that's the name of this song
And if you take heed then you won't go wrong
You have to be responsible
And know that nothing in life is impossible
Just go for yours if it's yours to go for
Cause if you don't you'll have nothin' to show for
It. So don't play. Tell the truth, not lies
And whatever you do, keep your eyes on the prize

Like your job for instance
Your first instinct is to keep your distance
Because despite your heart and persistence
No hiring is requiring your assistance
So instead you just sit home chillin'
Like a couch potato watchin' "All My Chillin'"
Instead of goin' out and lookin' in thе want ads
You're tellin' your friends you can't bеlieve Brooke slept with Tad
Now that's bad. That's detrimental
Cause you don't maximize your potential
You got to make the most of what you got
Cause sometimes in life things ain't so hot
So listen to the words I speak
Look around to things ain't so bleak
And good things go to the one who tries
So don't lose focus and keep your eyes on the prize
