Oddisee - Race lyrics

Head up, hands tied made magic
Hand cuffs disappeared
Tan lines where the bands cut
It’ll heal,  sit on hills I had to climb
Damn if I
Ever fall off I’m a different build
Dandelion in a field of land mines
Fit with shields thick as steel
Quick to kill bad vibes had enough
Cups filled added lime to rough deals
Agave, some mint leaves a mock tail
Oxtail tail, add the but
Just when I thought that I would get to chill
And what, hard days interfere
Black luck, fit the heels
My shoes, jog pace a long race
In a wheel pause take in the
Fact that I get to chill
Small things bigger deals
Entered my golden phase
While we’re afraid to age even
Harder to hold the page
I learned to grow with grace
Gotta let go to gain
Now I know they way is not to
Think that I’m owed a thing

Sitting in my car, in the driveway
I’ve been home a while, but my mind's late
It’s the only time that I daydream
Getting really hard to find a quiet space
Open up the door and the world screams
Getting overwhelmed by the high pace
Something’s on my mind I deserve peace
Until the door swings, race

So what’s next, I don’t know
I just know I won’t rest
Unless, success comes first I won’t get
Home yet, an idea an address, IP
I dream of things I don’t own yet
Likely, I never will
Might be is enough to entice
Me to get it still
Bet I get rich or in loan debt
Both yes, credit skills better build
Pricey when everything’s placed on a pedestal
At a height far too late to let ever spill
Tipping point
Missed the point if you believe I ever chill
Wish I could, don’t know how tried a couple
Times but I find if I slow it down
It feels like I read a will
Dramatic’s a understatement
Go off on nothing major imagine when it is
If all emotions my one is anger
Favor the toughest wagers
Alive when I’m brushing danger
Fear in place of drive no
Surprise I ain’t stuck yet

Sitting in my car, in the driveway
I’ve been home a while, but my mind's late
It’s the only time that I daydream
Getting really hard to find a quiet space
Open up the door and the world screams
Getting overwhelmed by the high pace
Something’s on my mind I deserve peace
Until the door swings, race
