Ness Lee - Top Of The Food Chain lyrics

[Verse 1: The Saurus] I've kept the people waiting but I'll never be mistaken as A memory that's fading cause my legacy remains in tact I was the cat to break the mold Evolve and rapping past the days of old Just let the patterns pave the road There's evidence that says I should check into a psych ward It's something I can definitely shed a little light toward My engine has been revving on a secondary light source Ever since I met the thing connected to the mic cord We're more than sentimentally attached Unforgettable, never get my memory to lapse They step to me, expecting to have met an even match But their jealousy won't let 'em reach the level Peter's at You're better off just taking notes and watching It ain't the noble way to go but safe to know your options And evalute the consequences Know the numbers always end up in our favor When you calculate the odds against us [Hook: The Saurus] It took way more than dropping a few names To work my way toward the top of the food chain It took blood, sweat, stress and a lot of work But in the end it'll all be worth it [Verse 2: The Saurus] It took a decade of dedication to the cause There were days I thought I'd never make it through the fog But I figured out a better way to use my flaws Now my track record is my resume for future jobs I'm getting this work done Too long I've felt myself stand still While the rest of the Earth spun Instead of letting go I'ma get a hold and focus Now I'll never wonder whether all my efforts go unnoticed I can stop it, but that's not the way that I was brought up Try to say that I'm declining, but my time is not up All my life I thought I might get caught up But I won the fight with writer's block And finally got a final product From the blood, sweat and stress I've given Over coming obstacles and pessimism When the pressure's risen My mental metronome is moving to an endless rhythm So I hope forever fits the measure that my legend's living [Hook: The Saurus] It took way more than dropping a few names To work my way toward the top of the food chain It took blood, sweat, stress and a lot of work But in the end it'll all be worth it [Verse 3: Ness Lee] It ain't too much a man can tell me after my last year My fam' done seen biggest disaster/Dizaster than Bashir You said I'd come back here, end up a cashier You say I hit my ceiling, then I shattered the gla**, yeah Actual facts, my n***a, I stand fearless When I wasn't able to stand, period, for a damn year I came back furious though falling on flat ears My theory is, a single Bill don't matter to Laimbeer I ain't got fans here... I got fam' here No matter what, by the end of the day They'll always say I'm the champ, yeah! I started mini-me evolve to bigger things ‘Cause when your sight's on infinity, you'll hit a star eventually Started to stall but then focused all my energy And now it's been a long time since I lost at anything So how you feel about it, Pete? It's been a clean sweep I'll die when and then I will return and do a repeat, n***a [Hook: The Saurus] It took way more than dropping a few names To work my way toward the top of the food chain It took blood, sweat, stress and a lot of work But in the end it'll all be worth it
