Lyrics The chase Illy

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//

welcome to the chase thats 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, im//
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 cant 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 aint 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 motherfucker//
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 aint gonna make itself//
and i aint 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//
