[Intro: Kojey Radical]
(Ooh, ooh)
I don't wanna be caught in a system that
Ain't like me, ain't built for me (Ooh, ooh)
Ain't built like me, ain't real like, uh-huh
[Verse 1: Maverick Sabre]
Seas of faces
Soulless places, places we go
All my problems
Call my Father, take me home
[Pre-Chorus: Maverick Sabre]
I don't wanna be
Got nothing here to reach
Said, I don't wanna be
No real life around
No real life of mine
[Chorus: Maverick Sabre]
Caught in a system
I'm out here walking the distance (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
Caught in a system
I'm out here walking the distance (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 2: Kojey Radical]
Uh, oh no, this ain't no test
This ain't no gangster's dеlight
Gotta go like red light, green light
Gotta meet my dreams in rеal life, uh-huh
Red light, green light
Someone tell me what peaceful be like
I still can't picture still life
Someone tell me what peaceful be like, uh-huh
Pump the brakes (Pump the brakes)
Simple, so complicated
I might go back to basics
I ain't really got shit to lose
Might see that risk and take it
Might take them rules and break 'em
System still testing patience
Tryna put my hope in cages, uh-huh
Pump the brakes (Pump the brakes)
Slow enough that I can see that nothing changes
They won't call my phone until they call me crazy
Someone call the devil, tell him, "Not today"
I think I need my space, uh-huh (Uh-huh)
[Bridge: Maverick Sabre]
Yeah, think I need some time, I need some ventilation
They can only judge on what you demonstrate
Think I need some time, I need to get away 'cause (Oh)
[Pre-Chorus: Maverick Sabre]
I don't wanna be
'Cause nothing is real
Said I don't wanna be
No real life around
No real life of mine
[Chorus: Maverick Sabre]
Caught in a system (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
I'm out here walking the distance (I'm walking the distance, oh-oh-oh, yeah)
Caught in a system (And I'm caught in, I'm caught in, I'm caught in, I'm caught in, oh)
I'm out here walking the distance (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Outro]
I'm walking, I'm walking the distance, yeah
I'm caught in, caught in the system, yeah
Oh, walking the distance
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Caught in the system
Walking the distance, yeah

Piers Aggett:
“Distance” was a bit of an older idea, maybe 2017, even 2016. It was an idea we wrote with Maverick Sabre. He’s one of the best songwriters from this generation; he’s such a great lyricist. I remember him writing the lyrics while we were making the beat and I was sitting down with him...
