Jazzie B - Perseverance Works lyrics

The greater the prize the steeper the hill Perseverance works See your reflection in the looking gla** Of things gone past Try to find out what you're looking for In the present tense, your life is hopeless And meaningless You want to be rich but your banker says your'e poor Nine-to-five stress is boring and tedious Manipulating love and all the rest Take a look in your consciousness It's a mess Tired of being let down and depressed Perseverance works You can see your watergla** half-empty Or half-full What you choose to perceive is up to you Is it good, is it bad Indifferent, not ever that Caught up in somebody else's truth Walking down the street each day Look at life in a different way White light Perseverance works But the greater the prize the steeper the hill Perseverance works Be the captain of the helm Perseverance works Be the king of the realm You know we've just got to get some unity Like if we're gonna live beyond eternity Cosmic law without flaw Behold the light within us all Perseverance works Take control of the helm Perseverance works Be the king of the realm now Perseverance works Come on Perseverance works But the greater the prize the steeper the hill Perseverance works Take control of the helm Perseverance works Be the king of the realm now Perseverance works Come on Perseverance works The greater the prize the steeper the hill
