Treadmill (Radio Edit) Lyrics

The subscriber you have called is not in right now

Please leave your message after the beep

Hey its me, still at work, sorry I can't be there to put the kids to bed

Hopefully piano went well for Josie and tell

Carson I'll do the fire with him tomorrow night sorry talk to you soon

Get money get money

Hey Yo he's Tired and sleepy, yet wired and needy

He's Working 12 hour days the content is seedy

But you know what you got to do as king of the throne

Yeah you Make that money but you just want to go home

See ya kids, see ya wife, see ya TV and ya life

That you built but you don't even have the time to like

As a kid, you always dreamed of obtaining mad materials

All you had was hand me downs and empty box a cereal

Worked hard, gotta job, now your life done changed

Done forgot about that past yo from which you came

Selling lemonade for nickels now its keep the change

You Pay more for brand names yo but that ish the same

Wake up son, its the American dream

Its that credit card life, yeah and cool as it may seem

The Purchasing power that you done dreamed since a teen

Now you Tied to a machine and you going never be let free

Your on a treadmill chasing a dream

Your on a treadmill chasing a dream

Your on a treadmill chasing a dream

Your on a treadmill chasing a dream

As a kid you dreamed of a house, with an extra room

Yeah you did that ish, you bought it and paid extra too

Got the newest central ac unit just to stay cool

As a kid you had nothing but a broke fan an a stool

Yeah You put your kids in a way different situation

Now they get they wants, what they need is Nathan

You the provider the supplier the rock the fire, the man their can be no higher

And you the Product of a deadbeat dad, the ish is ironic

And yo His absence left a fire, and it burned it was toxic

Stopped the fighting, started studying put the fire to work

You Got your damn law degree, hey yo its berserk

You Wanted more for your kids, and you damn sure did

Now their friends getting jealous of the home they live

Yeah dad is a hero, dad achieved his dream

But the stick stuck in drive, no time to enjoy the scene

You on a treadmill chasing a dream

You on a treadmill chasing a dream

You on a treadmill chasing a dream

You on a treadmill chasing a dream

Hey yo That dream that you chasing, wants more keeps changing

Now you gotta go five star on vacation

Now you needing this, and now you needing that

Now its time to chill take a second and think back

As a kid you was impoverished, but you had a blast

Betting on the races between the roaches and the rats

Now you getting paid yo, no time to relax

You provide for your kids, got the good life intact

And you Building memories, every day that there growing

But your busy at work you'll see the pictures you get home an

sometimes you wonder is it worth it at all

Yeah you like nice things but your time is much more

Limited cause, money comes and goes

But When your times up yo hey I do suppose

About as final as you can get, in this infinite world

As you Chasing the dream you gotta let the fire burn

We on a treadmill chasing a dream

You on a treadmill chasing a dream

You on a treadmill chasing a dream
