Chorus:

Maintain focus, come a long way from hopeless,
Devotion to attack even if nothing’s hitting back,
Punch through the wall, give resistance and stand tall,
Give it your all and the barriers tend to fall.


Verse 1

Maintain focus, come a long way from hopeless,
Putting concepts in motion but only time can expose it,
Lifting the veil of years, wool over the ears,
Not always what it appears,
Perception subject to fear,
Living with conditioning certain modes of submission,
And wishing is obsolete - it’s something you can’t eat.
Just mobilization is what gets you the system beat,
Just operate on fact 'cause philosophy’s out of reach.

Keeping it close 'cause people love to hate on your hopes,
They've got nothing better to do,
With their backs up against the ropes,
Taking punishment,
Minding other business just to rummage,
Finished before they could get started - can’t hit the mark,
So rise above,
Stand on the platform that life’s an art,
There’s always more,
Always possibilities.
Mental agility a must
'Cause you can’t trust even yourself sometimes,
Welch on yourself sometimes.


Chorus:

Maintain focus, come a long way from hopeless,
Devotion to attack even if nothing’s hitting back,
Punch through the wall, give resistance and stand tall,
Give it your all and the barriers tend to fall.


Verse 2

It’s not enough to think-
Actualization plus the patience to make something faint into a creation, Autonomy - build an internal nation with reserves,
When you’re paying the price for what you deserve,
With inflation we suddenly require some concentration,
Not used to this 'cause people think God fixes situations.
Inner battles never make sense but you can’t rattle,
Just get on the horse and make sure you don’t forget the saddle.

Never seem to have enough liquid assets for paddles,
But grounded enough to know how to pursue what matters,
But without enough of a habit the brain scatters
About the framework of the cerebrum plus distractors,
Heavy with seduction,
Some people make moves just to gain suction,
Snap the lining of the belly of the beast from the consumption,
Inflation bubble breaks,
Macrocosm of our mistakes,
A combination of what we choose to make, take and fake.


Chorus:

Maintain focus, come a long way from hopeless,
Devotion to attack even if nothing’s hitting back,
Punch through the wall, give resistance and stand tall,
Give it your all and the barriers tend to fall.
