Focus
Joe Bruce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't no problem on my mind
I take orders from my soul
Put my chips in on the grind I go
Got some places Imma find
Nothing missing and I'm fine
Fastest way is in a line I know
Make no sense to wake up and not go
Saw the end of the road and I win
Don't be all in my face when I blow
You don't know I got determination
Never heard of waiting
Couple quick moves and I'm learning patients I promise
I promise
You don't know I always been on it
Always been climbing finding new mountains
Killed how many beats fuck it who's counting
Let em all sleep, leave em all pouting
In it too deep my nigga recount it yea
This is the part where I come up
Uh This is the part where I come up
Yeah
Don't be surprised when I run up
I set the bar then I one up
Can a young nigga get paid
Can a young nigga get saved
Body that zip it up aye
Fuck it up flip it up pray
I don't catch one of them strays
None of that shit in my way
KG givem that fade
Shit start slippin away
Slip and get slayed
All that fit in the maze
Fall back christen a wave woah yeah
I been on one from the get go
Put me in a box like Klitschko
Might not like how it go
It go ape shit 4 5 6 ohh
Ain't no problem on my mind
I take orders from my soul
Put my chips in on the grind I go
Got some places Imma find
Nothing missing and I'm fine
Fastest way is in a line I know
Make no sense to wake up and not live
Make no sense to wake up and not go
Saw the end of the road and I win
Don't be all in my face when I blow
I just hit the switch cause they need light
In between the lines if you read right
Never backspace never rewrite
Nothing added to it make my tea right
Gotta detox
Got a clean soul
Never gon die
Far as we know
I ain't getting lynched
This is beast mode
Like I'm from the bay
Welcome to the day
Where I come up
Gun powder I ain't never picked a gun up
I just spit clips pat pat like a drummer
Hit me all the time
What you doing for the summer
I'm just trynna live my nigga
Do it big
Like it really can't get no bigger
Can't drip no pitter patter
Get a ladder, Climb it
10 stories high and you still can't find me
Lazy boy living and a nigga still reclining
Bout to hit the road but you know i'm from the island
Keep your contract no I think I'm not signing
Catch a contact from the dope I be rhyming
Whiling out yeah
Whiling out though
Kill it from the intro to the outro
If you love me let me hear you make a shout though
Either way I'm going in like a scalpel
Yah

Ain't no problem on my mind
I'm not worried about anything right now
I take orders from my soul
I follow my heart and intuition
Put my chips in on the grind I go
I put all my effort into working hard
Got some places Imma find
I'm on a journey to find my path
Nothing missing and I'm fine
I feel complete and content
Fastest way is in a line I know
I know the most efficient route to take
Make no sense to wake up and not live
There's no point in living if you're not going to truly live

There's no point in waking up without a purpose
Saw the end of the road and I win
I know I'll come out on top at the end of the journey
Don't be all in my face when I blow
Don't act like you were always there for me when I achieve success
You don't know I got determination
You don't know how motivated I am
Never heard of waiting
I refuse to be idle and wait for things to happen
Couple quick moves and I'm learning patients I promise
I'm quickly adapting and becoming more patient with time
You don't know I always been on it
You don't know that I've always been working hard
Always been climbing finding new mountains
I've always been pushing myself to overcome new challenges
Killed how many beats fuck it who's counting
I've created so much music, I've lost count

Nothing can stop me from achieving my goals
KG givem that fade
I'm unstoppable, like basketball player Kevin Garnett
Shit start slippin away
Things start to go wrong
Slip and get slayed
If you slip up, you'll get taken down
All that fit in the maze
The complexity of life and achieving success
Fall back christen a wave woah yeah
Take a step back and let things happen naturally
I been on one from the get go
I've been motivated and focused from the start
Put me in a box like Klitschko
Don't try to confine me to one perspective or genre
Might not like how it go
You may not agree with my methods or style
It go ape shit 4 5 6 ohh
My success and energy is off the charts
I just hit the switch cause they need light
I'm shedding light on the industry and inspiring others
In between the lines if you read right
There's depth and meaning to my lyrics if you pay attention
Never backspace never rewrite
I'm confident in my abilities and don't need to second guess myself
Nothing added to it make my tea right
I don't need any extra help, I've got this on my own
Gotta detox
I need to clear my mind and get rid of negativity
Got a clean soul
I have a pure and honest heart
Never gon die
My legacy and music will live on forever
Far as we know
As far as we can see into the future
I ain't getting lynched
I won't let anyone or anything bring me down or hold me back
This is beast mode
I'm in my prime and unstoppable
Like I'm from the bay
I'm bringing that Bay Area energy and confidence
Welcome to the day
Welcome to my world and my journey
Gun powder I ain't never picked a gun up
I don't need violence or weapons to make an impact
I just spit clips pat pat like a drummer
My lyrics and flow are so sharp, it's like a drum beat
Hit me all the time
People are always trying to bring me down
What you doing for the summer
What are you planning or achieving during your downtime
I'm just trynna live my nigga
I'm just trying to make the most out of my life
Do it big
I'm aiming for greatness and larger than life success
Like it really can't get no bigger
I'm already pushing the limits and reaching for the stars
Can't drip no pitter patter
No time for small talk, I need to take action
Get a ladder, Climb it
Work hard and climb to the top
10 stories high and you still can't find me
I'll always be one step ahead and difficult to catch
Lazy boy living and a nigga still reclining
Despite my success, I remain humble and laid-back
Bout to hit the road but you know i'm from the island
I'm from Jamaica and represent my roots wherever I go
Keep your contract no I think I'm not signing
I won't be restricted or controlled by any contracts or labels
Catch a contact from the dope I be rhyming
My music is so good, it's like a drug that people can't get enough of
Whiling out yeah
I'm letting loose and having fun
Whiling out though
I may be having fun, but at the same time I'm still focused and determined
Kill it from the intro to the outro
I give 100% from the beginning to end of my music
If you love me let me hear you make a shout though
If you support and believe in me, show it and make some noise
Either way I'm going in like a scalpel
No matter what, I'll make an impact and succeed
