Illy - The Chase lyrics

Ayo, I'm putting the pedal to metal Might as well cut the breaks Cause we don't stop And we don't wait until its too late Ayo, I'm putting the pedal to metal Red line for the chase Full tilt, we hit the red line for the chase Welcome to the chase that's life man What you can hold up in your left and your right hand And it could change overnight with the right plan With little more than a macbook and a micstand, look where I took it And i don't tail coats, nor suits and ties And i don't ride coattails, bye to the routine, i'm Buckled up for a beautiful, if at times suitable, for vagabond dude type life Don't view it as failure if i miss it I just figure i proved that that way gets turfed In the process of elimination gotta keep proving wrongs till the right one works So we're persevering, polishing the tracks til it hurts to hear em Bout to embark on the journey of an era So its only right ima build us a ship worth steering, say it with me Ayo, I'm putting the pedal to metal Might as well cut the breaks Cause we don't stop And we don't wait until its too late Ayo, I'm putting the pedal to metal Red line for the chase Full tilt, we hit the red line for the chase Screw the rules if they mess with the tune of my message Whats expected can't touch what you're doing if its destined Do the hard yards, step by footstep Cause with opportunity comes effort Its more than a debate on whose is the greatest Credits ue to all the true imitators I followed in their footsteps, now im blazing A new trail for the future, till fruits of my labour Are ripe for the tasting, forever be chasing Success, its for those who despite condemnation Kept going, and failures forsaken For those who didn't know how close they were when they gave in Stay patient, but don't hesitate Cause everything comes to those who hustle while they wait So let em kick back, ima overtake their place Ima chase it until it ain't a chase, but for now im saying Ayo, I'm putting the pedal to metal Might as well cut the breaks Cause we don't stop And we don't wait until its too late Ayo, I'm putting the pedal to metal Red line for the chase Full tilt, we hit the red line for the chase I make a promise to you mama If i don't end up a lawyer, swear i'll still be a rich motherf**er One way or another But i don't need all the worlds money in my life to love it, im gonna Ride for the come up, rise till i lay down Shine till the suns up, rhyme till i break ground Lights blurred, no safety belt Im on the chase hard out man, success ain't gonna make itself And i ain't gonna wake when im old And regret that i woke out of a dream, just to chase the gold Nah ima hold tight On this rollercoaster of a ride called life, and i am Prepared for the worst, but expecting the best You can ride alongside or get left for dead Repping A U S man, Melbourne in the place Since we finish where we start yo, welcome to the chase Ayo, I'm putting the pedal to metal Might as well cut the breaks Cause we don't stop And we don't wait until its too late Ayo, I'm putting the pedal to metal Red line for the chase Full tilt, we hit the red line for the chase
