TZ - The 10000th Hour

Put in the work
Put in the hours
’Til i have learnt
To harness my powers
‘Termind to earn
My spot in the towers
Far from one of the heard
Drip with no shower
Trip with no powder
Sshhh i need to be louder
Why
Put in the work
Put in the hours
’Til i have learnt
To harness my powers
‘Termind to earn
My spot in the towers
Far from one of the heard
Drip with no shower
Trip with no powder
Sshhh i need to be louder
Why
I put the seconds in minutes in hours
'Til I be wrecking with infinite power
I need to be louder
How about we start at the beginning
The very first second out of 36 million
You already know on the vision
But bringing it to life requires education with precision
Cos it’s not enough to write all day grab the mic and record all night
It’s lights camera action grind
Hella Elements combined
In mastering a mix to a polished grade shine
What about design
Put it this way this the first cover art I ain’t create
Wait the banners need an update
And I got umpteen emails that I gotta chase
Along with 3 video to edits on my plate
On god there’s days here I feel like I’m chained
Bloodstained sweating through my tears
Progressing as I press and preserve
Put me to the test and my drive shifts gear
Everything I have is in these bars right here
No guidance or mentor orbiting within my sphere
A slave to the ropes I learn in hope
That they never turn twist wrap and constrict around my throat and my gift
Unaware of the true potential I have to give
All I know is
Put in the work
Put in the hours
’Til i have learnt
To harness my powers
‘Termind to earn
My spot in the towers
Far from one of the heard
Drip with no shower
Trip with no powder
Sshhh i need to be louder
Why
Put in the work
Put in the hours
’Til i have learnt
To harness my powers
‘Termind to earn
My spot in the towers
Far from one of the heard
Drip with no shower
Trip with no powder
Sshhh i need to be louder
Why
I put the seconds in minutes in hours
'Til I be wrecking with infinite power
I need to be louder
Now we about half way through to our 60th thousand minute
Pushed every limit
If I took an L then why weren’t I lost in the scrimmage
Ain’t no poser composing no image
As I look closer through the mirror like poster
Maybe it’s time that I Sherlock Holmes ya
Pass me the monocle
Think I saw the oracle
You can dub this comical
While you’re only in the first page of my chronicle
This my calling don’t expect you to feel it wring deep inside your abdominals
While I sleep at night I swear my mind locates and it finds ways to leap frog obstacles
Never stuck to anything quite this long
Get to a hurdle and I’m long gone
But I can never leave
Every time I breathe
I’m reminded
Of my lung capacity
Combined with
The fact that this is a more than natural ability
Back to back tracks
Spitting react-able acidity
Packed out with bars they’ll fail to grasp
I'm the soho of this match
Some own dope lines
But I'm the Walter White of this batch
Put in the work
Put in the hours
’Til i have learnt
To harness my powers
‘Termind to earn
My spot in the towers
Far from one of the heard
Drip with no shower
Trip with no powder
Sshhh i need to be louder
Why
Put in the work
Put in the hours
’Til i have learnt
To harness my powers
‘Termind to earn
My spot in the towers
Far from one of the heard
Drip with no shower
Trip with no powder
Sshhh i need to be louder
Why
I put the seconds in minutes in hours
'Til I be wrecking with infinite power
I need to be louder
2 Years no social life
Just lonely nights
They board they flights
I’m left behind
‘Cos beats
Plus mic and studio time
Cost price
Yet I’d pay that twice ‘cos this is what I’d call a release on life
Gotta be honest lost a few by my side
Due to my pursuit and my drive
We a long way from fine
The way I collude in my mind
Locked in a room inside
Detecting the clues like a crime to call em signs
While attempting to escape the dark I’m surrounded by
Combined with my inability to grab this clock and divide
What
Nobody told you
The dearest currency is and always will be time
Put in the work
Put in the hours
’Til i have learnt
To harness my powers
‘Termind to earn
My spot in the towers
Far from one of the heard
Drip with no shower
Trip with no powder
Sshhh i need to be louder
Why
Put in the work
Put in the hours
’Til i have learnt
To harness my powers
‘Termind to earn
My spot in the towers
Far from one of the heard
Drip with no shower
Trip with no powder
Sshhh i need to be louder
Why
I put the seconds in minutes in hours
'Til I be wrecking with infinite power
I need to be louder
In The 10000th Hour
