Maestro - Stick To Your Vision lyrics

rate me

Maestro <br />

Yo, brothers ain't seen what I seen in this game son <br />

Been in this game a long, long, long time <br />

Still strivin' though <br />

Yo, ninety nine <br />

It's the visine baby, it's the visine <br />

Yo <br />

<br />

I build with Israelites, Rastafarians, God bodies <br />

F-o-y, sony, Muslims, T.O. to Brooklyn <br />

Many nights in Bedsty, blazin' trees out in Cali <br />

With brothers from frat, sippin' henny, mad friendly <br />

Got Toronto's rap title to Maracitles <br />

Met Quincy Jones in eighty nine, that's my idol <br />

Chicks from every nationality, showin' hospitality <br />

Grabbin' me, showin' mad love in the club <br />

Listen, check my rendition <br />

Performed for royalty and politicians <br />

Even done shows with the greatest emcees of all time <br />

I was the one who used to say (eighty nine is mine) <br />

I've seen a lot of valleys, I've seen a lot of peaks <br />

I've seen the bitter with the sweet, victory and defeat <br />

Sometimes I fell, but a voice kept saying <br />

Son, stick to your vision, peep the composition <br />

<br />

[Chorus] <br />

(these eyes) seen a lot of shame in the game <br />

(these eyes) seen a lot of pain with the fame <br />

(these eyes) seen a lot of highs and lows, but that's just the way life goes <br />

(these eyes) seen my name written in lights <br />

(these eyes) I seen a lot of things in my life <br />

(these eyes) seen a lot of highs and lows, but that's just the way life goes <br />

<br />

I grab the microphone, like the priest does a roseary <br />

Johova be shinin' when clouds are over me <br />

So I recelect, remember Kid Capri <br />

On BLS played my joint when I heard protect ya neck <br />

Back in ninety two, but let's go back to eighty eight <br />

Flemington, Don Mills and Negleton <br />

Makin' beats with S and gellin' them <br />

Remember when you labels wasn't feelin' me <br />

Next year changed the scenery, gave birth to your energy <br />

Toa, Ice-T and Public Enemy <br />

Much gave me love, you niggas had to envy me <br />

Couldn't stand to see a brother shine <br />

Player haters always workin' overtime <br />

I seen a lot of valleys, I seen a lot of peaks <br />

I seen the bitter with the sweet, victory and defeat <br />

Sometimes I fell, but a voice kept sayin' <br />

Son, stick to your vision, peep the composition <br />

<br />

[Chorus] <br />

<br />

Yo, people used to say Wes, wake up, stop dreamin' <br />

Your fantasize, fuck the rappin', it won't happen <br />

I paid my dues, brothers seen me sacrafice <br />

Another song in the key of life <br />

Mr. Maes' got the iller track, I did a three sixty <br />

Seen God starin' in the mirror, black <br />

I figured that if I stayed focus, when situations seemed hopeless <br />

I'm elevatin', breakin' the spell of satan <br />

I want my lyrics written out like esco <br />

To show the rap world how the industry slept <br />

So when I'm gone, the parable will carry on <br />

Young cats can sitback, puff tron, cool out, and sing along <br />

I seen a lot of valleys, I seen a lot of peaks <br />

I seen the bitter with the sweet, victory and defeat <br />

Sometimes I fell, but a voice kept sayin' <br />

Son, stick to your vision, stick to your vision <br />

I seen a lot of valleys, I seen a lot of peaks <br />

I seen the bitter with the sweet, victory and defeat <br />

Sometimes I fell, but a voice kept sayin' <br />

Son, stick to your vision, out <br />

<br />

[Chorus]
