Tekst piosenki ' The Chase [Look Alive] ' wykonawcy Salience

I'm sharp like a pencil
You gotta get a ladder just to get up on my level
Never had the time to deal with being sentimental
'Cause I'm busy ripping beats and all these instrumentals
Time never wasted, never bother father time
Live off mother earth, and I'm reaching for the sky
Work before play, forward then rewind
Feel I never get a break; get the chance to go and vibe
'Cause I'm busy in this life tryna make me some success
It seems it's all measured based on the zeroes on my checks
Life is a girl when shes playing with her breasts
She's a tease and I'm thinking I can't wait to see what's next
Living for adventure, dying for the pleasure
Come fit in my shoes if you think you can do better
I know that I'm not perfect, but I put forth all my effort
Living life to the fullest 'cause it doesn't last forever (ever but)

I'll do this shit forever
Any time, any place
You disparage my work
You best be believing I'll get down in your face
After everything I give it
I'm getting no return, but I still put in faith
I try to live my dreams
2 years in the making, I am down for the chase

I gotta believe
Smoke and mirrors all around me making me deceived
But I know that these illusions make it difficult to see
So I close my eyes, say goodbye like I hit delete
So come and take a seat, let me show 'round my planet
Life gave me a promotion; it's a little hard to manage
But I make it work if I gotta do it single handed
I'm taking flight, getting high, not coming down for landing
I'm the pilot speaking, and were reaching to the height of cloud 9
If you don't wanna follow me you can take a step outside
I'm in shape and I'm loving your outline
If time is borrowed, I'll rent for two 'cause it's our time
I know persistence is key to surmount the hurdles
You cut the corners and it comes around full circle
I'm moving through the ranks, you could say that I am colonel
It's a hare's race, so don't even bother 'cause you're a turtle, uh

After everything I put in
My heart, my soul, my mind, I give up countless time
And I know, I'm getting blocked out, I'm just waiting to shine
You can push me down; you'll never take whats mine
'Cause all my writtens, are coming from the dome
Headphones blasting with a microphone
You cant stop me when I'm in my zone
And there's no one here, it sure feel like home
Working all the time so I can live my dream
I think I'm king only when I breathe
I'm thinking of success 'cause it's in my genes
I'll make it to the top and I'll get my green
I know I said it once, but it's not about the paper
I just wanted to relish the fruits of my labor
Success is essential, I cant rely on failure
Rap is dying slowly and I'm its only savior (savior)
