Jay-Z ft PRIZM - "Reminder" (Remix) Lyrics:

[Verse 1: Jay-Z]

all rhymers with Alzheimers line up please,
all mamis with mind freeze please line up please,
all bloggers with comments, please I come in peace,
lets see if we can kill your amnesia by the time I leave,
all mamis I whored before, vouch for me,
tell em bout the time on your mommas couch mami,
all hustlas who ever bought an eighth from me,
take this time out to set the record straight for me,
'member me, silver bullet hard top mentally
they think I’m outta shape so I have to jog there memory,
think with indelible ink, I let the pen go,
verses permanently tattooed serve as mementos,
ah, I'm so mental, my track record speaks for itself,
I'm so instrumental, allow me to rekindle
lets all reminisce like Mary did,
i think i have to send you a reminder, here it is..

[Chorus]
Reminder, reminder,
I got it if you need it, a reminder
Reminder, reminder,
I think i better give you a reminder
Reminder, reminder,
I got it if you need it, a reminder
Reminder, reminder,
Cos I can give you a friendly reminder..

[Verse 2: PRIZM]

fate invited me, pain ignited me,
lit the flame inside and claimed another side of me,
a rap artist, with a slew of other talents -
i smash targets, through and through, to find the balance..
i run the scene with clarity, the King i dare to be,
compare it to the greatest - see the similarities?
so haters, run along merrily,
y'all parodies - apparently y'all scared of me..
Kayce Photography, straight monopoly,
i paved the way, i played the game the way it oughta be,
now look at all the sh*t i did without lookin,
imitators always tryna follow in my footprints,
jus pushin, my goodness -
i'm losin track of where i'm at and where i took this (Brooklyn)
only 23, but don't you envy me,
this is my life - y'all should jus let it be..

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: Jay-Z]

do what i done without crying, and in the environment
and in which i did it in without dying my n*gga,
rap like I rap without lying and then tying both together like iron my n*gga,
write 16’s in between running 16 businesses,
all the while showing these young punks what the business is,
as if I’m gonna let you n*ggas style on me,
as if, now everybody senile on me,
go back to boonback, remember those button ups,
young Hov, tell them ordinary Joes button up,
I destroy your 4 point O’s
and Benz 500s and all points to Ohhhh,
now you n*ggas ‘memba me, tell me how could you forget,
back to Johnny's album cover, red and blue Gucci sh*t,
ain’t nothing changed but the year it is,
I think I have to send you a reminder, here it is..

[Chorus]

PRIZM ft T-Pain, Maino - All The Above (Remix) Lyrics:

[Intro - T-Pain]
Tell me what do you see
When you looking at me (woooahhhh)
On a mission to be
What I'm destined to be (woooahhhh)

[Intro - PRIZM]
lock and load, yes lets rock and roll,
i drop the flow, you cannot stop the show,
its bout to blow, yes i gots to go,
you gots to know - its PRIZM..

[Verse 1 - PRIZM]
lock and load, yes lets rock and roll,
i drop the flow, you cannot stop the show,
its bout to blow, yes i gots to go,
you gots to know - (shhhhh) stop drop and roll,
coz i'm on fire baby, i'll take you higher lady,
if yous a rider, even higher than mariah baby,
my style is liver lady, another side of crazy,
maybe i like it crazy, don't even try and save me,
coz i'm a grown dude - stand on my own two,
you either with me or against me - whatchu gon choose?
and this is not a game, and i am not sane,
i've seen a lotta pain, a tribute to what i became,
i'm that other cat, and i don't need friends,
this is hustle rap, watch me, gettin ends,
i'll tell you, try and stop me, i've heard a lot about me,
and if you think i'm cocky, guess you never heard of Rocky,
coz i will not fall, seems i got me a gift,
i'm a shotcaller, you jus talk a lotta sh*t,
so take a deep breathe, but you could never take this,
hated at each step, but i was meant for greatness..

[Chorus - T-Pain]
Tell me what do you see
When you looking at me (woooahhhh)
On a mission to be
What I'm destined to be (woooahhhh)
I done been through the pain and the sorrow
The struggle is nothing but love (nothing but love)
I'm a soldier, a rider, a ghetto survivor
And all the above
All the above (x7)

[Verse 2 - Maino]
It's easy to hate,
It's harder to love me
Ya'll don't understand,
Ya'll quickly to judge me
Put your foot in my Nikes,
Picture you livin' my life,
Picture you stuck in a cell,
Picture you wasting your life,
Picture you facing a charge,
Picture you beating the odds,
Picture you willing to bleed,
Picture you wearing the scar
Thank you for making me struggle,
Thank you for making me grind
I perfected my hustle,
Tell me the world ain't mine
You've been seein' me lately,
I'm a miracle baby
I refuse to lose
This what the ghetto done made me
I put that on my father
Tryna hope for tomorrow
When I think that I can't,
I envision Obama,
I envision the diamonds,
I envision Ferraris
If the world was perfect,
All my n*ggas behind me
Ain't you happy I made it?
That I'm making a statement?
Take a look and you can tell
That I'm destined for greatness

[Chorus - T-Pain]
Tell me what do you see
When you looking at me (woooahhhh)
On a mission to be
What I'm destined to be (woooahhhh)
I done been through the pain and the sorrow
The struggle is nothing but love (nothing but love)
I'm a soldier, a rider, a ghetto survivor
And all the above
All the above (x7)

[verse 3 - T-Pain]
Now if you come to the spot (spot)
All the way from out on the block (block)
I hustle hard cause it's all the same
And you know that grind don't stop
Just 'cause I rose to the top
And everybody knows my name
Still grindin (still grindin),
Still hustlin (still hustlin)
No more pain (no more pain),
No more sufferin (no more sufferin)
To my ladies and my shorties and my thugs,
Just start dancing and shine in the love

All the above (x7)

[Outro - PRIZM]
this dedicated, to all the hustlers, who never made it..
its your boy, PRIZM.. (Kayce)

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]
And I'm grindin until I'm tired
Cause they said you ain't grindin until you tired
So I'm grindin with my eyes wide, lookin to find
A way through the day, a life for the night
Dear Lord you done took so many of my people
I'm just wonderin why you haven't taken my life (my life, my life)
Like what the hell am I doin right? (doin right)
My life (my life, my life)

[Verse 1: PRIZM]
seen the ghost of christmas past, chest blown out,
seen the hope in his eyes, but wasn't shown how,
i wish i always knew, the things that i know now,
that nothing good could ever come from silly showdowns..
i wear my past on my face, with a low frown -
i've seen enough blood lost to drown a whole town..
i feel the world spinning, but there's jus no sound,
i feel myself fallin, but there's jus no ground..
wake me up from my nightmare, but i'm right here,
whisperin prayers to the lord, as if he might care, (yea right)
feel the tears on my face, by my right ear,
and then i sit up, and realize - i'm right there..
making music ain't about bein the best rapper,
i do what i do, so WE can see the next chapter,
i'm spittin on what i'm livin on, to make it right,
i did my wrongs, now i'd pay the price to save a life..

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]

[Verse 2: PRIZM]
people judge me by the swagger that i walk with,
but they don't see the pain, so they jus talk shit,
they look at everything i've got, like its god's gift,
it ain't easy - i'm sorry you have a small d*** (shhhh)
right now, i'm jus tryin to be a better man,
but that don't mean i wouldn't smash you if i get a chance,
yo dawg, there's jus some trees you should leave alone,
go bark at someone else - you need to leave a king his throne..
and i know, jealous ones always envy,
but if i were you dawg, i really wouldn't tempt me,
coz you don't know whats facin you, up against me,
and i'm a patient dude, but now the tank is empty..
so if i hear you talk again, i'ma shut it down,
don't even beg for mercy then, coz i'll love the sound..
and if you can't feel, the realest shit i ever wrote,
i promise you'll feel, the words that i never spoke..

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]

[Outro: PRIZM]
rest in peace to all of those that left in recent years,
you were my inspiration, let my words be my tears..

they say, its jus a beautiful life,
they've never suffered, through the blues in the night,
searching the globe, on the road, for the truth in the fight,
listening, to their souls, jus to move in the right,
light, or direction, this my morbid confession,
and this is more than profession, coz this is more like progression..

(PRIZM)

i see you in my mind's eye, so clearly,
and i'm waitin til i find mine, to hold near me,
feels i've waited all my lifetime, i'm so weary,
and i've used up all my lifelines, you don't hear me,
but still i know, you're what i'm waitin to find,
God's gift, in his greatest design,
so when i drift to the skies, still i dream - of makin you mine,
pretty lady - i'm jus takin my time,
coz when you smile, you could chase all the pain from this world,
free the weight, from the hate in this world..
you've got the face of an angel, and the grace of a pearl,
though in your hands, you hold the weight of the world - it's so incredible..

dear angel,
i know that you're right, when i'm down, you're my only advice..
i still believe,
when i'm lonely at night, i've known love coz you showed me your light..

one day, i woke up and i realized,
its been a long while, since i last seen the sky,
i wondered then, if i'd ever even been alive -
was she real, or had it all jus been a lie?
feelin choked, til she showed up in front of me,
puttin her arms on my back, tryna comfort me,
movin closer, then i felt her warmth from under me,
i realized, everything she'd ever done for me..
girl, you changed me, and i could never taint you,
i love your everything, i'd kiss you on your ankles,
i wanna thank you, and i would never change you,
you're my angel, and i'm forever thankful..

dear angel,
i know that you're right, when i'm down, you're my only advice..
i still believe,
when i'm lonely at night, i've known love coz you showed me your light..
