Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What's up with all the new faces?
These days, everybody wanna be famous
Don't wanna study, wanna make it on the A-list
They swap their dignity for hits, ain't got no patience
'Cause everybody wants a portion
Of the Devil's Pie without caution
Don't know it's gonna cost a fortune to sell your soul
[Verse 2]
They're running just to get in first place
I'm walking, going at my own pace
I'm great, they say slow and steady wins the race
I ain't rode the bus, but trying to fly
They're fading like we're losing the sky
I'm fine waiting for my payday
[Verse 3]
Baby, don't lose your pride, 'cause you're deprived
This career suicide to sign without your mind
Then they monopolize you into prize
And leave you paralyzed, huh
Be on your grind, and take your time
Pay no mind to the dollar sign
Don't let the moolah make ya blind
Or you will find your name on the guest list
Uh, a house on a necklace
Uh, well, no one ever respect it
Uh, like beginning I'll rent it
Till your money going right down
Uh, no cigarette right now
You ain't got no more hits
Label said, you're dismissed
[Verse 4]
They're running, just to get in first place
I'm walking, going at my own pace
I'm great, they say slow and steady wins the race
I ain't rode the bus, but trying to fly
They're fading like we're losing the sky
I'm fine waiting for my payday
[Verse 5]
All they glitters isn't gold
Oh, baby, don't you know
First they love you, then they don't
You were hot, now they're so cold
Gave the world, but you lost your soul
Now, you're losing your control
For some rocks and brand new clothes
That's why I take it slow
[Verse 6]
They're running, just to get in first place
I'm walking, going at my own pace
I'm great, they say
Slow and steady wins the race
I ain't rode the bus, but trying to fly (Oh, I wanna fly)
They're fading like we're losing the sky
I'm fine waiting for my payday
