Rat Race Lyrics

Rogue really did it this time, ah

Rolling down streets

Man I feel like this town is a part of me

But the chance I need

Is so far away it make it hard to leave

We were passing trees

Green smoke in the air make it hard to breathe

I was living free

Now I'm in the rat race and I'm chasing cheese

Rolling down streets

Man I feel like this town is a part of me

But the chance I need

Is so far away it make it hard to leave

We were passing trees

Green smoke in the air make it hard to breathe

I was living free

Now I'm in the rat race and I'm chasing cheese

In the back of the car with the windows down

I woke up in a different town

Used to get drunk on the roundabout

But now we ain't out coz the feds too loud

Used to ride round on a bike too small

Tryna get to parties, tryna look cool

Tryna get the barbies but I never pulled

But when I spit a bar Bs wanna act cool

Nah I'm joking

I was never the type to go hoping

I was never the type you'd catch choking

Coz at the of the night, I'm still going

It was back in '18 on a prom night

I was sitting with a brudda from long time

Thought back to the troubles, there was all kinds

But now we ain't spoke in a long time

Man my whole life feels like right place wrong time

Looking for the stories to replace these lines

Looking for the words that could make me shine

But a worm to a butterfly gonna take time

And I'm looking for the money to replace this knife

Running from the hearse with my name outside

But a worm to a butterfly gonna take time

Gonna take time, 'til I make mine

And until then I'm

Rolling down streets

Man I feel like this town is a part of me

But the chance I need

Is so far away it make it hard to leave

We were passing trees

Green smoke in the air make it hard to breathe

I was living free

Now I'm in the rat race and I'm chasing cheese

See I learnt my lessons the hard way

But nothing can lessen this heart break

But me and my Gs on Parkway

Tonight we move so smooth like Sade

Step up in the party like Mosey

If you wanna find us look where the hoes be

Seen all sorts living unholy

But it's a sweet life like Mr Moseby

I'm another gunner born out the Rosie

And I hold my post code like a trophy

I don't want no beef you don't know me

I take time move slowly when I'm

I take time move slowly when I'm

See, since I've come back I just

I feel like I can see further

You know, I used to look so far down the estate and see the industrial estate

But now I feel like I can see beyond that

Like, I can see a whole world past those walls

And I can go to that world

And I'm not just stuck here anymore but I'm-

I'm thriving

Rolling down streets

Man I feel like this town is a part of me

But the chance I need

Is so far away it make it hard to leave

We were passing trees

Green smoke in the air make it hard to breathe

I was living free

Now I'm in the rat race and I'm chasing cheese

Rolling down streets

Man I feel like this town is a part of me

But the chance I need

Is so far away it make it hard to leave

We were passing trees

Green smoke in the air make it hard to breathe

I was living free

Now I'm in the rat race and I'm chasing cheese
