[Intro]
BReach Aout, it could be Dbetter than Ea fantasy
BI keep my eyes Aon the prize, baby
N.C.
I keep my eyes on the prize, baby
(Baby, baby)
[Verse 1]
BI got my levels outta place, last Anight was a long one
ALookin' for a quick fix, lookin' for a short cut
BBut if I wanna game Aplan up for a long run
AWhat do I bring to the table except dumb luck?
[Verse 2]
BThere's a good Achance the last thing I think of
AWill show up in my sleep and crash all my dreams
BWith some shit I won't repeat
A'cause it's not what I'm proud of
ASome heaviness, some pettiness
ASome things that I'm ashamed of
[Pre-Chorus]
BWhen I think of you A(when I think of you)
AI think of us (I think of us)
BI think I'm dAone with this (this motherfucking hiatus)
BOctober coAmes and I'll show you what I'm made of
BI hope it's harvest Atime
AFor my fruits of labour
[Chorus]
BReach C#mout, you've got the Dreal deal right in Afront of you
BKeep my eyes on the C#mprize, baby
DKeep my eyes on the Aprize, baby
BReach C#mout, it could be Dbetter than a Afantasy
BKeep my eyes on the C#mprize, baby
DKeep my eyes on the Aprize, baby
[Verse 2]
BI was repeating converAsations with a chip on my shoulder
AReplaying the scene, over and over
BI got confused Aand the world started spinnin
ASend out a search party, I've gone missin'
BCause Lord knows AI've been through the ringer
ALord knows I'm gonna come out swingin'
BIt's mid July Ain New York City
AI've been sitting in Coach, but I'm ready for the big leagues
[Chorus]
BReach C#mout, you've got the Dreal deal right in Afront of you
BKeep my eyes on the C#mprize, baby
DKeep my eyes on the Aprize, baby
BReach C#mout, it could be Dbetter than a Afantasy
BKeep my eyes on the C#mprize, baby
DKeep my eyes on the Aprize, baby
[Post-Chorus]
BGot me singing ayy-oC#mhh! (Dgot me singing ayy-Aohh!)
BGot me singing ayy-C#mohh! (Dgot me singing ayy-Aohh!)
BGot me singing ayy-C#mohh! (Dgot me singing ayy-Aohh!)
BGot me singing ayy-C#mohh! (Dgot me singing ayy-Aohh!)
[Bridge]
N.C
Those bodega lights at 3 am
N.C
Flourescent and bright
N.C
Just like a movie set
N.C
And Jules was dancin', lit an imaginary cigarette
N.C
He said, "man, why you feelin' sorry for yourself"
N.C
And the man behind the counter, turned up that radio
N.C
One of those old AM/FM boomboxes, the kind with the cassettes
You said something that I won't forgEet:
"Ya just keep movin', moEvin'
Ya just keep movin', movEin'
Ya just keep movin', moEvin'
Ya just keep moEvin'"
[Verse 3]
BAre we meditating on this, Aor medicating on this?
BI've tried out both Abefore
BIt seemed like the perfect dAay to take a leap of Efaith
But I came up short
BAre you listening close? AStart listening close!
BTo tell me your true desiAre
BI know it's played some Amean tricks before
EBut I promise the body don't lie
[Chorus]
BReach C#mout, you've got the Dreal deal right in Afront of you
BKeep my eyes on the C#mprize, baby
DKeep my eyes on the Aprize, baby
BReach C#mout, it could be Dbetter than a Afantasy
BKeep my eyes on the C#mprize, baby
DKeep my eyes on the Aprize, baby
[Outro]
BGot me singing ayy-oC#mhh! (Dgot me singing ayy-Aohh!)
BGot me singing ayy-C#mohh! (Dgot me singing ayy-Aohh!)
BGot me singing ayy-C#mohh! (Dgot me singing ayy-Aohh!)
BGot me singing ayy-C#mohh! (Dgot me singing ayy-Aohh!)
