Khari Allen - The Rat Race
Yeah, uh, let's get it Yeah, I'ma lay it to him like this, look
Wake up, every day's a rat race Money, money, money, gotta keep the pace
Can't stop, won't stop, gotta taste that cream Sweatin' like a pig, livin' a capitalist dream
The pressure's real, gotta stay on track Gotta grind 24-7, can't look back
Take flights to family, friendships for a buck But hey, yeah, it's a price to make a million bucks
Every day, gotta live that life and get paid Yeah, yeah, uh
The Rat race, the Rat race Got us runnin' in place for the money
Money's the only thing that matters Livin' in the world that's only gettin' sadder, yeah
Yeah, oh, didn't know we was layin' it like that
Let me learn it back on the word quick Yeah, look, strikin' for success
Got us obsessed with productivity, money, and progress
Livin' in a world there's no time for money Oh, I was only bein' funny
Workin' nine-to-five to pay the bills Workin' all the time, followin' the beard appeals
The heads are built, finna' runnin' round Only workin' for an old saint, Nick
The Rat race, the Rat race Got us runnin' in place, the Rat race
Money's the only thing that matters Livin' in the world that's only gettin' sadder
The Rat race, yeah, it's the Rat race Got us runnin' round in place
Money is the only thing that matters Wanna give out in the system, yeah
Wait a minute, hold up, we gotta run it back again
Okay, I got you, yeah, look
Toxic mindset, gotta conform To the system, it's the new norm
Bein' wealthy, it's the ultimate goal Bein' top G, yeah, ha ha
Sellin' the soul to that pole What about love, compassion, and joy
What about the time with the family you can't employ
What about the success measured in cash? Yeah, if we focus on happiness, yeah
Life would be a blast Yeah, it's just you and me and that cash
Look, it's the Rat race, yeah, it's the Rat race
Got us runnin' in place, it's the Rat race Money's not the only thing that matters
Livin' in the world that could be happier
So let's take a break from the Rat race Live life to the fullest at your pace
Success can come in many forms Let's take a break from societal norms, yeah
