Illy - The Chase lyrics

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

Ayy yo, I'm putting the pedal to metal
Might as well cut the breaks
'cause we don't stop
And we don't wait until it's too late
Ayo, I'm putting the pedal to metal
Red line for the chase, full tilt
We hit the red line for the chase

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 Mac
Book and a mic stand, look where I took it
And I don't tail coats, nor suit's and ties
And I don't ride coat tails
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 proving wrongs till
The right one 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 steering
Say it with me

Ayy yo, I'm putting the pedal to metal
Might as well cut the breaks
'cause we don't stop
And we don't wait until it's too late
Ayo, I'm putting the pedal to metal
Red line for the chase, full tilt
We hit the red line for the chase (yeah)

Screw the rules if they mess with
The tune of my message what's expected
Can't touch what you're doing
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
Credit's due to all the true imitators
I followed in their footsteps
Now I'm blazing a new trail for the future
Till fruit's of my labour
Are ripe for the tasting, forever be chasing
Success, it's for those
Who despite condemnation
Kept going, and 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 saying

Ayy yo, I'm putting the pedal to metal
Might as well cut the breaks
'cause we don't stop
And we don't wait until it's too late
Ayo, I'm putting the pedal to metal
Red line for the chase, full tilt
We hit the red line for the chase

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 it'self
And I ain't gonna wake when I'm old
In 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 expecting the best
You can ride alongside or get left for dead
Repping AUS man, Melbourne in the place
Since we finish where we start yo
Welcome to the chase

Ayy yo, I'm putting the pedal to metal
Might as well cut the breaks
'cause we don't stop
And we don't wait until it's too late
Ayo, I'm putting the pedal to metal
Red line for the chase, full tilt
We hit the red line for the chase
