Keep your eyes on the prize and let nothing get in the way of your success...

----------------------------------------------------

Ambition is the mission…I’m just tired of it missing

They say follow intuition, but my conscience doesn’t listen

Strolling through quicksand, I sink fast, in a state of chronic avolition

I bring my own demise into fruition when success starts to feel so distant

That I give myself permission to be beat down and choked out into submission

We’ve all been in this position of constant contradiction

Too young to wear our frowns, too old for indecision

Doubt decaying dreams, too blurry to envision

I’m not sure of my ailment, but I’m searching for the remedy

That thing that I need to achieve, to cleanse me of my obscenities

Just when I thought I’ve let it go, on replay, it relays my pain just like a melody

Earworms of diffidence I can’t seem to dissect

Because of energy that I lack, that I can’t seem to erect

And so, I fall…

But no matter how hard that wall is in front of me I somehow slip through

And I guilt trip too, but there’s not much I won’t do to flip the script on what’s written, contradict premonition, and put an end to this feud

I know what I’m risking… I know what it takes to be great: generate distance and create

Annihilate all obstacles put in my way…put a pounding to the pavement, push hard to get pay

Don’t apologize for time lost with friends because they’re not the ones who can provide a means to your ends and they’ll be there when you come back again…doing the same old spin…into the same old trends

Regret and hesitation: enemies in my war making sure I’m not complacent but I’m steadily chasing while you’re steady pacing, wasting your time

I’m not very patient, I want first in this race and I’ll do anything to get what is mine

I know it sounds selfish but listen,

There’s no need for competition when ambition is the mission.
