Shanghai Lyrics by Boy Pierce

2019

Verse 1
5:45 AM, raise up, rise again
Can’t stop, won’t stop, diddy would be proud of me
Routing these, paths to the wizard the Oz through blizzard and fog
I bring forth wisdom and awe
Awe Shucks, people posted at the Starbucks
Put they grind on display, sipping grinds all the day
While I’m tucked in a corner isolated writing pages
Meditating...no holiday, no vacation

What’s the point a living easy, sipping green tea
Slow pace, routine, zone, space...out
You should win you should shout
You should doubt any doubts you should pounce every ounce
Of your excuse, refuse...rebuke your refuge
Then use persistence curb instant victories, listen please, or your hustle history
Inquiries? no, write your history and go

Chorus
It's not about your talent, it’s not about your skill
It’s all about your balance, it’s all about your will
It’s not not about the fame, it’s not about the cash
It’s all about the aim, it’s all about the path
It's not about your talent, it’s not about your skill
It’s all about your balance, it’s all about your will
It’s not not about the fame, it’s not about the cash
It’s all about the aim, it’s all about the...path

Verse 2
5:45 PM, raise up, rise again
No hollywood story? No worries
Go roaring no yawning, racing and pacing and
Patiently waiting in basements and taking a taste
Sliver of a slice of a dinner and it’s
Right….back to the drawing board drawing more heights
Goals, pay the price, stay the night
Lay the right foundation down facing a vice

Surrounded by noisy pubs and boisterous
Clubs a choice to avoid unplug from the pitfalls
Tempted by a temporary pit stop
Ditch all seconds of a sedentary wrist watch
Jigsaw, falling into place waiting hauling in a haste
Calling liftoff, mauling in the face
Of excuses, abuses, trial induces triumph
Piece of the pie won and truth is

Chorus
It's not about your talent, it’s not about your skill
It’s all about your balance, it’s all about your will
It’s not not about the fame, it’s not about the cash
It’s all about the aim, it’s all about the path
It's not about your talent, it’s not about your skill
It’s all about your balance, it’s all about your will
It’s not not about the fame, it’s not about the cash
It’s all about the aim, it’s all about the...path
