Tekst piosenki 'Rat Race' wykonawcy The Gift

Running, moving, stressing, fussing
Cussing, drinking, smoking, killing
Dying, stabbing, shooting, thinking
Walking, pacing, running, falling

Yo, check it out, one time

All the bull stop's here, I'm the matador.
Here to introduce a new rap category.
Climb on top of my music, mine Matterhorn.
Rhyme for rhyme, you don't really wanna battle boy.
Just another clip added in my catalog.
Get your money young playa, I ain't mad at y'all.
Here to bring soul like Stace Lattisaw.
Drop the fatter raw verbal mic analog.
Sorry y'all, but I didn't bring a gat along.
Just a pen that does tricks like a magic wand.
Get my cadence and a whole rap pattern on.
As the sky just falls over Babylon.
Travel on Pluto, Venus, Earth, Saturn on,
To the place many sane brains haven't gone.
When it come to this here
'specially in this year
Frankly I don't have it all.

Running, moving, stressing, fussing
Cussing, drinking, smoking, killing
Dying, stabbing, shooting, thinking
Walking, pacing, running, falling
Striving, climbing, scratching, clawing
Growing, knowing, guessing, acting
Working, looking, peeking, seeking
Peeking, counting, seeking, searching

It's the Gift of Gab's new rap seminar
Male groupies please show me where the women are
In a world full of sheist type criminals
Make a LP filled like cinema
Bring light like a rhyme prime minister
Send ya up write it off on adrenaline
On a scale of one to ten it's a ten and a
Half, feel my wrath now, sucka nigga what?
Used to puff on a daily pack of cigarettes
Til' I bought a pack of chewin' gum, Nicorette
Come to find that I had to get rid of that
Now at shows I got more wind in the set.
Wrote a alcohol free song in the next,
Thirty days drunk again like hypocrites.
Dude, my ego isn't quite that deflated yet.
Signed a deal with a major haven't made it yet.
Got a past cable bill haven't paid it yet.
Crazy wit, now I love my life takin' it
Where it hasn't been taken yet.
Go against the grain of the rat race daily it's

Running, moving, stressing, fussing
Cussing, drinking, smoking, killing
Dying, stabbing, shooting, thinking
Walking, pacing, running, falling
Striving, climbing, scratching, clawing
Growing, knowing, guessing, acting
Working, looking, peeking, seeking
Peeking, counting, seeking, searching
