Mike Mictlan - Prizefight lyrics

Artist: Mike Mictlan

album: Hand Over Fist


Born 7-8-1982 coming at you live
But dead cause I'll die the second I'm out this sound booth
A sight for soaring eyes, living normal story lives
The old tale that be like "Oh well, it's before your time"
14 years down the line since I wrote my first rhymes
It feels great, I'm glad I made myself wait like past lives
The Deity got hired, fired, then back as a re-hire
Tired of jobs, ready to grind til I retire
I don't know what I'm doing, I keep my eyes on the prize
Born again southern California, orphan in origin
From orchids to scorpions metamorphing my audience
Sorry if it gets obvious or if it gets boring just already know
It'll all be over soon as I'm done recording this
Daddy was a vietnam vet, Mommy was a convict
"Mike we already know, man. Why dont you just get off it"
Well I'm being honest with the topic of hardship
Kingdom come God sent freedom don't run from no conflict, but:
I promised
My friends I'd have ends to spend with them
I promised my bigger brothers they'd see they youngest of us win
I promised my crew Doomtree would compare to nothing
I promised Lazerbeak I'd come back to Minneapolis hungry
I promised my family that this was just the man in me
I promised my girl the world but only gave her insanity
I promised myself good health, wealth and consciousness
Then I promised to God I was gonna keep all my promises, but:
I don't know what I'm doing, I keep my eyes on the prize
To my surprise, fought people twice my size
I don't know what I'm doing. I keep my eyes on the prize
To your surprise, struggle would get to many lives
I don't know what I'm doing, I keep my eyes on the prize
And you can't always get what you want
But when you've wanted it for so long and you get it it's gotta be good...
[Breakdown]
I think I'm gonna throw away the chains from my heart
Cause lately I've been feeling like I'm free
I think I'm gonna give myself a brand new start
Oh, get back to my roots and be me
[Verse 4]
From a phoenix
To a dove
Till they pull me up above
TIll they fill me full of slugs
Till the feel me in your club
I would never give it up
I could never give this up
I would never give it up
I could never give this up
I keep my eyes on the prize, I will never give it up (x3)
I got my eye on the prize,
I would never give it up
From a phoenix to a dove
Till they pull me up above
TIll they fill me full of slugs
Till they feel me in your club
I would never give it up
I could never give this up
I would never give it up
I could never give this up
From a phoenix to a pigeon to a dove
Till my 6 feet's been dug
Til they pull me up above
Til the flames surround me, til they drown me
I could never give it up
I will never give this up
