Rat Race Lyrics

My homie still on the block

Setting up shop, dodging cops

Youngin's still on watch, it's like time stood still

Some just never find, what makes them tick for real

Still deal with itches and still a got an itch to deal

Exchanging Bitcoin, but he ain't changed a bit for real

Thinking he can only earn his dollar with a bit of drill

Or get it with a drill-bit

Or a solid bit of drills

Get em' disciplined and in the field

I know how that feels

But there's honor in hard work

He told me that talk is cheap, why don't you start first

Got me there, but I mean, I'm chasing these bars first

Don't you know that money ain't gon' ever quench our thirst

Only through passion we gon' have peace of mind

I'm tryna' tell you: seek yours like I'm seeking mine

It's gon' be worth it, even if it means a steeper climb

I think he felt what I was saying, he just need some time

Staring off in the distance, I'm tryna' read his mind

The same time, I realize I'll have to leave behind

All the ones who'll never see past these confines

Simply cause they'll prolly' keep me from achieving mine

Sacrifice makes the right move seem it's like bad advice

My sister summed it up abruptly

That's just life

You win some, you lose some

You win some, you lose some twice

Choose your fight

I cruise at night, tryna' think about the next step

It's only beginning, if I start winning, can't relax yet

Tryna' get all of the shit, that I ain't get yet

If I end up running this shit, can't even sweat that

I'm made to last

Way too fast for motherfuckers paid to blast

I stay out of grabs, take the cash

Flee the scene with a crazy laugh

You can see I took notes from Jay-Z's past

It's a rat race and they quick to rat

Everybody who switched up, is switching back

They ain't too proud to beg tho'

I'll give em' that

I'll give em' that
