Marley Marl f Master Ace - Keep Your Eyes on the Prize слова песни
To get where you wanna beYou have to set a goalAnd keep your eyes on the prizeYeah[ VERSE 1: Master Ace ]Now let me take a second, just so I can beckonAnd call out an all-out rush just like wreckinYour brain as you strain to maintain, sustainThe way you felt because I dealt you painAnd pleasure, in every single measureYou miss being kissed by this lyrical treasureEnjoy it at your leisure, cause it`s gonna please yaMaster Ace and Action again is here to ease yaSpirit, cause all you have to do is hear itAnd you`ll catch a strokeAnd say, "Damn, that brother broke!"Now I`m about to get off another funky hit offAnd if you think you`re hangin, yo, I think you bit offMore than you can chew, now how you gonna swallow it?Check the technique, see if you can follow itLike a path or a road made of yellow bricksYo Steady Pace, go `head and bust the mellow mix[ *DJ Steady Pace scratches* ][ CHORUS ]So keep your eyes on the prizeKeep your eyes on the prizeKeep your eyes on the prizeKeep your eyes on the prizeAnd keep your eyes on the prize[ VERSE 2: Master Ace ]Now I`m the capital A and what I`m sayin is conveyinThat I romp, stomp and jump on any competitionThat`s opposed to me, they can`t get close to meYou say that goes to see, what`s that supposed to be?Some kind of challenge? I take you head upBeat up and eat up punks and won`t let upBut not with my fist or even with a deadly weaponBut with my lyrics, yeah, that`s how I`m steppinOn all those that doubt me or my race is wonAnd you critics are hopin that the Ace is doneBut now consider, this here little bit ofSuper commentary for those that are veryMisdirected and lookin for some kinda angleCensorship is their attempt to strangleThe Master, they know that my words can motivateAnd set straight the crooked from their fateDon`t you understand that rap is like a tool to meYou`re sellin what? You`re actin likea fool to meGo get a job or maybe go and learn a tradeAnd make the grade, that`s how you get paidSteady`s on the cut and Action is the posseOpen your eyes and you`ll see what I seeBrothers are fallin, homegirls are callinThemselves independent, but yo, we`re all inThe same boat together, it doesn`t matter whetherYou disagree, it`s still reality - see[ CHORUS ][ VERSE 3: Master Ace ]Now where`re we goin, where are we goin, which direction?Look at your reflection, now someone praise the resurrectionOf a people many years considered kinTo an animal, unlike those with lighter skinBut that`s the past and many knew it couldn`t lastBy peaceful means or either by a rifle blastOr whatever, better late than neverWe finally arrived and yo, the dream has survivedBut many died tryin and they`re the ones that paved the wayReal live supermen and -women save the daySo that we can live our life without ?????Racial oppression, mental anguish through aggressionSo realize what it took for us to riseAnd don`t sleep but reap and keep your eyes on the prize[ CHORUS ][ VERSE 4: Master Ace ]Sing a song of six pence, a pocket full of crackThink you`re sayin somethin, you ain`t sayin jackNow tell me, what is goin on these days?From what I`m seein lately I`d say crime paysCause somebody is gettin paidI think it`s time to sprinkle some rain on the paradeNow listen, take this as a word from the wiseI`m not a prophet or a preacher, just a man with eyesAnd I`ve been witnessed the fitness of a neighborhood worsenYou oughta hold a person-to-personDiscussion with those who rose from that levelUsin a broom or a mop or a shovelNot on the corner waitin for the big pay-offIt`s not comin, so why not stay offThe streets, believe me it beats bein sent up-state on a date with the man and bein pinned upIn solitary, take advantage of your freedomI`m givin helpful hands cause you need emIt`s not all about the cash you makeSellin poison to boys and girls - you`re a fakeSo what you got a cable, so what you got a BM?You love when the girls go, "Ooh, did you see him!"So what your pocket`s filled with 20s and 10sYou`re gonna find out just how fast that endsCause one day you`ll be drivin round the way in your rideThere`ll be a bullet with your name on the sideAnd if you don`t believe what I`m tellin you, mackWhen you`re layin on the ground with a hole in your backLookin up at the sky, gettin closer to hellJust remember Master Ace had a story to tellYeahYoKeep your eyes on the prize (5X)Keep your eyes on the prize (5X)[ *scratched letters* ]"P""R""I""Z""E"
