In 98 Maestro Fresh Wes told us to stick to the vision
Keep your eyes on the prize, hustle, to stay on course with the mission
Hindsight in 2020, I’m on a path that many new
Visions I tossed back then, today is a catch 22
Damned if I do, damned if I didn’t that be the truth
Visions of being great in endeavours I try to follow with proof
...If I see it then I can be it that’s my motto
Seeing it through from conception to reality is the model
No time to waste wishing for genies in a bottle
Rocking rose coloured glasses but my mission is full throttle
Pushing my inner at mach speed, I got plots and schemes
On the offense taking everything defenses got for me
Vision without a plan of execution is just a dream
When these type of visions take over in my eyes you’ve been schemed
I’ve been schemed many a time, part of the human condition
I’m saying give your vision’s tangible purpose, see them to existence...Vision!

Scratch chorus:

Verse 2
Y’all could keep your labels don’t connect me like cables
Rising my eyes open I’m rocking since cradles/
Uplift em like a ladle stiring the pot
Thicken the plot they thinking you not the one/
Nay sayers at best be watching the brick layers and praying less the wall fall back to back one/
C power from the sun this is the kingdom/
Gillbreathing building with my fam what we give em
Molding with heat like a killen while blood on the street spilling they killin my people look in the mirror I’m seeing visions/
Still we rise Maya Angelou commissions
Poetic from my position phonetically I’m just figuring ways while maneuvering through the maze/
Only time will tell where the power plays
Long hour days
While my daughters raise pave ways thinking bout a way get out/
And let the soul reroute

Scratch chorus:

Verse 3
Lock, loaded with plans got my eyes on the prize at hand
Zoomed on my target with a focus of firing blam
Plotted for years and execution was the final straw
Everything I wanted came together before me signing off
Dare to dream, but dreams are only as good as the dreamer
A dreamer who believes it with drive is the type to achieve it
I model this type of thinking across the Es spectrum
Analyze the many facets of my life and cross the checklists
Met some career goals, but the journey don’t stop
Met some bumps in the road but my attitude was no sir
I’m not quitting, set examples for my kiddies I’m not kidding
Life’s a marathon pace your steps, literally stop sprinting
Burning yourself out, make no mistake don’t procrastinate
Turn it up a naut, move at a faster pace
It's all about the journey rather than the destination
Maintain trajectory on the incline of elevation...with your vision
