Top of the Food Chain

[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 intact
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
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'mma 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
Overcoming 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
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 disasters than Bachir
You said I'd come back here, end up a cashier
You say I hit my ceiling, then I shattered the glass, yeah
Actual facts, my nigga, 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, nigga

[Hook: The Saurus]
It took way more than dropping a few names

But in the end, it'll all be worth it
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
