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
