They want me back to where I come from, the life I used to run from
See whered you get that tongue from, my trigger me say blam blam
Listen me say Rotterdam the city I was born, bred
Learnt to do this music from the hustle had to fall back
Smack I dont condone, best to leave that all alone
Using microphones to help me clear my troubled dome
Honestly I know my wrongs yeah but know my rights too
No school could ever teach me all I picked up from my Idols
Taught me about survival, helped shape Identity
Was young didnt know, reach for goals that reeked of vanity
Its tough keeping sanity, if hate is the new love
A foolish thing to say like the Devils our new God
Kids do anything for fame, cant change em blame em tell em no
Try warn em they just laugh in you face like its a joke
Like a gay who act straight to afraid to tell his folks
Marks the times so its rhymes I wrote, listen.
Oh Its a disgrace , to see the human race in a Rat Race
In a Rat Race, Rat race
Rat Race, Rat Race, Oh what a Rat Race, Rat Race
Bet you I know what sacrifice is the meaning of this life is
And I dont need a watch to help me tell you what the time is
Wake em up big tune, lets kick a little sense in
Try to make it danceable give lyrics less attention
Twist it to enhance it dont push it let it breathe
From Sundays to Mondays I pray to bless the week
Lately I aint catching sleep raised the bar took the long route
Leave it to the chorus to explain you what my songs bout
It scarred me and it struck me like a war child figuring
Visitor or prisoner listeners ain't listening
Never rock the same flow, I flip it like I change clothes
So many different lanes and different cultures on the same road
Been watching from the sidelines admit it now its our time
Did it without the proper experience or guidelines
Taking back pride not only cause I can
The only thing that makes sense is Euros, Dollars, Pounds or Yens.
Oh Its a disgrace , to see the human race in a Rat Race
In a Rat Race, Rat race
Rat Race, Rat Race, Oh what a Rat Race, Rat Race
