The Prize / Legendary Like Entei by Tre Capital Lyrics
Part I: The Prize
[Hook]
Said I'm after everything, yeah I want it all
We can never fail, that's just how it goes
Eyes on the prize, always had to pay attention
Now we changed the whole game, it should never be a question
One more time
After everything, yeah I want it all
We can never fail, that's just how it goes, yeah
Eyes on the prize, always had to pay attention
Now we changed the whole game, it should never be a question
[Verse 1]
Been putting work in 24/7
Now the fans patient for the new hits
So I came back with the newest stuff
Had to take it there, had to take it there
Life ain't been the same since Gundam II dropped
Set the streets on fire, rest in peace to 2Pac
Now the critics keep asking, "When the hell is he gon' stop?"
I was made to break the bar, I will never fall below it
I'm a poet with diversity
None these rappers heard of me
Until I die inside a casket, nothing is for certain, G
[Hook]
Said I'm after everything, yeah I want it all
We can never fail, that's just how it goes
Eyes on the prize, always had to pay attention
Now we changed the whole game, it should never be a question
One more time
After everything, yeah I want it all
We can never fail, that's just how it goes
That's how it goes
[Verse 2]
Spent my whole life tryna make my music [?]
This was all a part my destiny
Shout out OGs, they invest in me
I'm having visions of just being a kid again
Watching Gundam on the television screen
That's the reason, if I made a [?]
That'll be a true fulfillment of my dreams
Life is just a test, you gotta learn from it
At the bottom so long, yeah I reached the summit
If you focus on the negatives, not the positives
Then your ass will plummet
Overlooked for way too long
Overlooked for way too long
That's why every song I made
Started from the heart, yeah I been on, nigga
Part II: Legendary Like Entei
[Intro]
This where the pain starts
[Hook]
I won't let you down
I won't let you down
I can't let you down
I can't let you down
I won't let you down
I won't let you down
I can't let you down
I can't let you down
Oh my God
I won't let you down
I won't let you down
Oh my God
I can't let you down
I can't let you down
Oh my God
Said oh my God
[Verse]
My eyes squint as I stare at these bright lights
At this moment I don't know what reality is
I guess happiness is only momentary, even though that's scary
Two parents in love, but afraid of the world
Pops held me in his arms
Moms was doing the same
This is the moment that life
Forever has scarred my soul
What if I told you I was born and lived this whole life alone?
So many mistakes, my nigga
My heart just couldn't take it
Gasping for air, my nigga
Gasping for air
As an adolescent I witnessed my parents disappear at age 2
I think my reality fell to pieces
Back and forth custody, that really got the best of me
A court system that made you decide which parent to love more
All for the love of money
Now isn't that scarier? Isn't that scarier?
A young black baby whose imagination running so wild
By age 7 my mom hated my dad
My dad hated my mom
What the fuck is going on?
Why do I feel like I gotta cry on every fucking song?
Maybe me being a musician wasn't proper thinking, I
See my family divide
Now I'm dead inside
Breathing hatred all around me
I don't want to live this life
But I was too young to eliminate my problems
Couldn't be a kid, had to grow up by my damn self
Everybody contradicting each other
Why can't we support another? Wow
But that's the world that we live in
The world that we live in
Pops was busy on the road tryna get it
The sacrifice of time never equated to money for me
I really needed him there
Really needed him there
Mom's going insane, she losing out on her soul
Always praying up to God, "Where the hell do I go?"
Man, I'm so fucking lost
Man, I'm so fucking lost
I just think about this all the time when I sit and reflect
I really gave up in everything that I believe in
What will people think of me?
What will people say to me?
Like, Tre Cap, you was supposed to be my fucking hero
You was everything I wanted in a fucking rap artist
You really had gone the hardest, and every single year
You would drop a classic project for the fans just to hear, so
We hold you so high in our standards
Why you tapping out, in reality you gotta push
When you're not the one who's stuck in the middle
Tryna figure out how you can provide for both sides
Instead of having to pick and choose, you will lose in the end
If you think this life is all about having fucking friends
And having fucking whips
And fucking all these bitches, man you really off your shit, like
Think about your god damn life for a god damn second, no stressing
Most dedicated nigga out of all my friends
That's why they changed on me
Picked a different lane on me
Said they had my back from the jump
Why you hate on me?
Now I gotta chase the dreams all alone, now
Without nobody really caring for me momentarily
Until I reach a pedigree that they cannot achieve
Star in the sky if they look at me so vividly
I guess my adolescence really got the best of me
Can't go backwards but nobody really gets it, G
While I'm contemplating not committing suicide
And shit that happened where I finally had a talk with God
He said, "You can't die yet, there's so much left to do."
I said, "I wonder if I'll make it, isn't that true?"
I put my head high and embarked on a greater mission
No girl, no fam, no homies, no money, no place to kick it
I wanted to die instead
Even though that was not the option, I gotta live
I gotta be a role model even if I don't make it
Please see my dedication
Lord knows I've been patient, but
[Bridge]
I just wanna live life
I just wanna feel love
I just wanna live life
I just wanna feel love
I just wanna feel life
I just wanna live love
I just wanna feel life
I just wanna live love
Oh my-
[Hook]
I won't let you down
I won't let you down

I can't let you down
I won't let you down
I won't let you down
I can't let you down
I can't let you down
Oh my God
I won't let you down
I won't let you down
Oh my God
I can't let you down
I can't let you down
Oh my God
Said oh my God
