The Chase ft. Courtney Bennett Lyrics

So much of our behaviour is a result of what we don't know about ourselves

We are motivated, we are trying to fulfil ourselves

Because there is that biochemical imperative to get more, to survive

Which as an addict, I experienced and have experienced in extreme

Once I got rid of drugs, I got obsessed with sex

Once I got a hand on sex

I started being obsessed with what other people think of me

Power, fame and money

And what I'm continually recognising is

None of these things can be fulfilling

If you're not connected to who you really are

No trim, spots on my face

No drip

See, I don't need tops with a name like Gucci

Me I'm still Gucci

Never be boujie

Never put rocks in my chain

I just do what I love, don't watch what I make

Everybody gets lost in the chase

I ain't trying to make money fast

Gotta make money last

Already know the hare flopped in that race

I'd die before I spend my life locked in a cage

I take risks like cryptos

You take risks for some sick clothes

Respect if you washed that and got a crib though

Wanna see you win so think bro

Fuck the latest trends

Even if I'm making M's, I ain't made like them

I was anti, chilling with the clique

Best thing I ever did was make new friends so

Fuck all them Instagram quotes

The things that man post

I swear this shit's a panto

You'd think every man's rich

Every girl's thick, wide hips

Big lips to match those but

I don't care if he's got a Benz

I don't care if she just looks good like a lot of men

Even though I'm not a 10

Most people I know are unhappy so why would I copy them

Realness

Just grateful for no illness

Still need fulfilment

You ain't gonna find that 'cause it needs building

Only one life, that doesn't end with children

Trust me

Had enough of this fuckery

I'm just trying to visit more countries

Memories over money like Kama said

Flights, catching them

Why

I don't wanna get wrapped up in the chase

Chasing money, chasing women, chasing fame

I don't wanna get caught up in the chase

I don't wanna watch my life fade away

'Cause time keeps rolling on

Rolling on

Rolling

Rolling

Rolling

And I'm just holding on

I'm just holding on

I don't wanna watch my life fade away

Look

Yeah

The bro's on our own, that's grafting

As time goes the emotions darken

'Cause the road's taking its toll like Dartford

Prayed on my own like save me a go when it's my turn

Nobody answered

Face to the sky

No rain in my eyes

Just hope that I'm holding regardless

How many years

How many times have I heard gas

Hard to know who's not snide

How many promises kept

How many want us to be bodying sets

How many shot lies

Now we're ready to be top like Klopp's side

No kids, hope we show kids what is not right

Always on the chase like Bradley

Man are never like what they claim to be online

I've seen change in my district

Everybody takes on weight to be shifted

I researched the ways of the system

Gotta relearn 'cause it pays to be different

Now I ain't got age on my side

Gotta face facts, man I've got a wage to provide

Gotta make me a business

Or I'm gonna be another that's saving, not making the pictures

This years mad

Lockdown had me searching 'round for more lakes and woods

Makes a change to be wary of insects

All I ever see is all these snakes in hoods

Cha

You even mention race, you'll get vacant looks

Can't wait, till it's changed for good

I tell peeps I

I don't wanna get wrapped up in the chase

Chasing money, chasing women, chasing fame

I don't wanna get caught up in the chase

I don't wanna watch my life fade away

'Cause time keeps rolling on

Rolling on

Rolling

Rolling

Rolling

And I'm just holding on

I'm just holding on

I don't wanna watch my life fade away

This is the thing

When you get the things your culture tells you

You should be doing and you experience them

Now you know

Now you know you can stop chasing the carrot

'Cause you've had a bite out of it

And you're like 'hold on a minute, this is bullshit'

I don't wanna get wrapped up in the chase

Chasing money, chasing women, chasing fame

I don't wanna get caught up in the chase

I don't wanna watch my life fade away

'Cause time keeps rolling on

Rolling on

Rolling

Rolling

Rolling

And I'm just holding on

I'm just holding on

I don't wanna watch my life fade away
