Rat Race

Stuck in a fugue state
Losing the rat race
Move at my own pace
Until that one day
When I dissociate
Focused on my rage
Pissed off & irate
No food on my plate
Can’t carry the weight
Feels like I’m losing the game
(Caught in this rat race)
I shouldn’t complain
I’m just so ashamed hurry up and wait
How much can one take?
Figure it out
Don’t let them down
(Amazed by this rat race)
Without a doubt
Reppin Uptown
(Caught in this rat race)
Build a bridge
Don’t build a wall
Eat the rich
Cause empires fall
Corruption will consume us all
(And I don’t want
To live that way)
Be the bat don’t be the ball
Lead the pack & head the call
Speak your thoughts
To feed your soul
(And you can overcome).

Gotten so boring, his ego is soaring
Ever since he quit drinking
She hardly goes out, so full of self doubt
And the feeling of sinking
He folds under pressure, acts out in aggression
Pushes away all his friends
First they were with them, through lies and decisions
Promising never again
Black out, come to, repeat
This time it’ll be different, if I just have one
Wake up a mess, defeat, hearing what I’ve done
Chasing a party that doesn’t want me anymore
Crippling depression becomes the obsession
Faking a smile on her face
The old ways to have fun, its over, they’re just done
Waiting for that warm embrace
It was a habit that turned you an addict
What you become these days
Self loathing recluse with a couple of screws loose
There has to be a better way
The time you waste to play it safe
It don’t matter in the end
To break away from your escape
It’s like leaving an old friend
Procrastinate and tempt your fate
Death is right around the bend
It’s never too late to sever the hate
And you’ll be right and on the mend
Right and on the mend
Right and on the mend
Right on
Old friends liked him better with head full of terrors
Not this person that’s healing
These ties are all tethered, we’re birds of a feather
Neither of us are dealing
Get it together, this life’s so much better
And becomes so appealing
When you are happy, I’m no being sappy
I’m just in love with living

Disconnected views
So far out of touch
Is this what you choose?
Ruler of the dust?
Endure the abuse
In the end, for what?
To placate the fools
But the joke is still on us
For what seems like an eternity
I’ve known, what’s waiting for me
My souls at peace with the thought that we don’t go on
This is temporary
If I don’t seize the opportunities
I’m shown, is life worth living?
No mercy, and pity’s for the weak
You’re grown, time to stand on your own two feet
Holding back what’s deep inside
Through the secrets and the lies
Feeling I can’t move forward
Showing weakness and my pride
I’m still keeping hope alive
And I’m fighting until it's over
And it’s never gonna stop me
Because I ain’t going nowhere
This is war
And I’ve been to the mountaintop
And I’ve fallen from the highest spot
Keep up the fight
I didn’t see it
But it’s so clear now
Picked my head up
And took a look around me (All around)
Nothing can stop me
You can’t bring me down
I’m in the corner
Waiting for the next round
The time it takes to cultivate
Meaning
Higher stakes and dire straits
Feeling
Keep moving forward
The binds they break
I shift my weight
Freeing
A blind mistake
In testing fate
Feeling
Keep moving forward
Distract you from your goals
Take away your drive
Slowly drain your soul
Tell you you’re alive

You are not your job
Not the clothes you wear
Not the car you drive
Not your fucking khakis
You choose when to stop
This life isn’t fair
Don’t believe the hype
No one’s gonna save you
You’re alone
And it’s cold
Trying to survive
It’s for show
And we know
Will you rot or rise
Pickup yourself up and get out of the rubble
It’s up to you now to keep out of trouble
The wheels keep turning, the fires burning
Moving so fast now you’re head will start spinning
It’s not like it was, not in the beginning
Don’t drop you chin now, head high, walk proud
Don’t let you back crack under the pressure
I got my hand out, we’re in this together
I’m going all out, don’t let me down
It stings and it hurts
But you’ll have your turn
Don’t forget you worth
Take it all in stride (walk tall), nobodies compared
If you live or die (buried), would anyone care?
We all got a choice (your life), there’s no right answer
Better make some noise (it’s your time), might as well prepare
For their judgement

Why be so obnoxious
Causing all these problems
Freak show, they can’t stop us
As we stand defiant
Never be compliant
Celebrate all triumphs
Different and united
Maybe you should try it
You’ve been given every single chance
Now you’ve driven me to use these hands
Little spoiled egomaniac
Time to wisen up and trim off the fat
The arrogance emits off of you
Standing alone in a crowded room
Narcissistic personality
Sick and twisted view of reality
Taking deep breaths trying to understand
But none of it really makes any sense
This situation has gotten intense
Open my ears but clenching my fists
Doing my best to accept what you said
Take a step back and start nodding my head
Curbing my anger so I can assess
The circumstance and start to process
It’s not your fault
No one raised your right
Or had you taught
How to avoid fights
You let your mouth
Dictate your actions
Never think about the consequences
Taking deep breaths trying to understand
But none of it really makes any sense
This situation has gotten intense
Open my ears but clenching my fists
Doing my best to accept what you said
Take a step back and start nodding my head
Curbing my anger so I can assess
The circumstance and start to process
There’s no tough guy in you
So stop don’t continue
Or just leave the venue
So transparent see through
We’re all here to escape
Not to hear your tyrade
I don’t fear your type they
Never last
Dissipate
