"EYE ON THE PRIZE"

Keep ya eye on the prize

pay no attention to the behind the back lies

Never let love die

Let it flourish in your heart, but be smart and guard it

Sometimes situations can make it harden, but I'm like a Hawk over the Sea and
catch everything like Steve Largent

When one door closes, another one opens

These words are potent, not for the faint

Listen to a sinner's restraint in the picture's I paint

Many lessons learned, but the charcoal still burns as the world turns

My visions are given and written in stone

Quietly ignored among the deaf

I've tasted Life and witnessed Death

I've had some failures, but gave my best

Smoked ounces of weed like headaches of aspirins from alleve to relieve the stress

But as the smoke clears the problems remain there

I realized God is the only one that can cure the pain here

Change is only gained through knowledge of self

So when you look in that mirror, be truthful cause you can't lie to yourself

At times I open the bible and read because I needed some help

I try to simplify what I take in and apply instead of giving up and
wanting to die

If I am stripped of my pride and that is a sin

Tell Me! Where do you begin?

I'm every bit of a man that stands on the front line

Connected like that of a woman to birth, the tie that binds

Sinister crimes are a haven for these young lions trapped in a cage

as Sanity goes through the seasons and eventually withers away

A grave or incarceration are what many are facing

Tired of being deprived with no work being adjacent

Homes foreclosed on top of tax inflation

Wearing and taring on people's patience with no Healthcare for us American patients

Inside I fight to stay alive, traveling to a peaceful sanctum in my mental

Where no one can penetrate, Only the Lord has a visual

They wanna keep us down cause they know our existence is pivotal

But, no matter what keep your "EYE ON THE PRIZE" to survive

All of our contributions is critical
