Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(The chase, the chase, the chase)
(The chase, the chase, the chase)
(The chase, the chase, the chase)
(The chase, the chase, the chase)
(The chase, the chase, the chase)
(The chase, the chase, the chase)
(The chase, the chase, the chase)
(The chase, the chase, the chase)
[Verse 2]
Ayo, I'm putting the pedal to the metal
Might as well cut the brakes 'cause we don't stop
We don't wait until it's too late
Ayo, I'm putting the pedal to the metal
Red line for the chase, full tilt
We hit the red line for the chase
[Verse 3]
Welcome to the chase, that's life, man
What you can hold up in your left and your right hand
And it could change overnight with the right plan
With little more than a MacBook and a mic
Look where I took it, and I don't tail coats, nor suits and ties
And I don't ride coattails, bye to the routine, I'm
Buckled up for a beautiful
If at times suitable for vagabond dude-type life
Don't view it as failure if I miss it
I just figure I proved that that way gets turfed
In the process of elimination
Gotta keep provin' wrong till the right wrong works
So we're perseverin', polishin' the tracks till it hurts to hear 'em
'Bout to embark on the journey of an era
So it's only right I'ma build us a ship worth steerin'
Say it with me
[Verse 4]
Ayo, I'm putting the pedal to the metal
Might as well cut the brakes 'cause we don't stop
We don't wait until it's too late
Ayo, I'm putting the pedal to the metal
Red line for the chase, full tilt
We hit the red line for the chase (Yeah)
[Verse 5]
Screw the rules if they mess with the tune of my message
What's expected can't touch what you're doin' if it's destined
Do the hard yards, step by footstep
'Cause with opportunity comes effort
It's more than a debate on whose is the greatest
Credits due to all the true innovators
I followed in their footsteps, now I'm blazin' a new trail for the future
Till fruits of my labor are ripe for the tastin'
Forever be chasin' success for those who despise condemnation
Kept goin', the failures forsaken for those who didn't know
How close they were when they gave in
Stay patient, but don't hesitate
'Cause everything comes to those who hustle while they wait
So let 'em kick back, I'ma overtake their place
I'ma chase it until it ain't a chase, but for now I'm sayin'
[Verse 6]
Ayo, I'm putting the pedal to the metal
Might as well cut the brakes 'cause we don't stop
We don't wait until it's too late
Ayo, I'm putting the pedal to the metal
Red line for the chase, full tilt
We hit the red line for the chase
[Verse 7]
I make a promise to you, Mama
If I don't end up a lawyer, swear I'll still be a rich motherfucker
One way or another
But I don't need all the world's money in my life to love it
I'm gonna ride for the come-up, rise till I lay down
Shine till the sun's up, rhyme till I break ground
Lights blurred, no safety belt
I'm on the chase, hard out, man, success ain't gonna make itself
And I ain't gonna wake when I'm old
And regret that I woke out of a dream just to chase the gold
Nah, I'ma hold tight on this rollercoaster
Of a ride called life and I am prepared for the worst
But expectin' the best
You can ride alongside or get left for dead
Reppin' AUS, man, Melbourne in the place
Since we finish where we start, yo, welcome to the chase
[Verse 8]
Ayo, I'm putting the pedal to the metal
Might as well cut the brakes 'cause we don't stop
We don't wait until it's too late
Ayo, I'm putting the pedal to the metal
Red line for the chase, full tilt
We hit the red line for the chase
[Verse 9]
(You gotta get with the chase, get with the chase, get with the chase)
(You gotta get with the chase, get with the chase, get with the chase)
(You gotta get with the chase, get with the chase, get with the chase)
(You gotta get with the chase, get with the chase, get with the chase)
(You gotta get with the chase)
