Rat Race

[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse]
I got caught up in the rat race, lost myself on the journey
All about the numbers and fame and the money and the name on the front of my jersey
All I could think about was the end game, all I ever needed was me and myself
Tryna be the one they look up to, all I ever needed to be was myself
These days, we all do it for likes though, these days, we all walkin' a tightrope
"I don't love it but I'll do it for hype though, if they love it, then I'll do it for life, bro"
Oh God, what a bad addiction, the satisfaction is the saddest fiction
We all get caught up making bad decisions but I count my blessings like a statistician
Now I smell the roses, I got a girl, she drama-free
She don't leave me lonely, she got my back, she proud of me
She a keeper, yeah, I know that, I get to rap for a living
I get to open my feelings, then open the mail and see that my shit make a difference
I got people that look up to me and they don't care if I got money trees
I don't glorify the dumb shit like some of these so-called artists
Had a kid the other night that said my music saved his life
Thank God for the platform, now I know just what I rap for

[Outro]
(Now I know just what I rap for)
(Now I know just what I rap for)
(Now I know just what I rap for)
(Now I know just what I rap for)
