The Race Remix Part 1

7/12/17 For myself and other's sake Working toward something great Often I've been a dollar short and day too late Go ahead and exaggerate This you just can't duplicate Did woman and man originate From apes? All across land and lakes There to earn and take Money to make And put in a safe Still on the chase Picking up the the pace As I accelerate Barely touching the brakes Pushing for first place In any race Can't let it all go to waste From here to space No time for fakes And snakes Get out of my face You're B.S. I will not tolerate Got to avoid leaving a trace And catching a case Sometimes I was filled with hate It happened to dissipate Or continued to accumulate Made my own fair share of mistakes With our without a rise in the stakes I got many bruises and scrapes Above, below and on either side of the gate
