Rat Race Lyrics

Rat Race by Parallax

• "The point is that, ladies and gentleman, that greed "
• Perhaps a better word, is good
• Greed is right
• Greed works
• Greed, in all of it's forms
• Captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit
• We're born into the world
• And we tend to accept (uhhh) the world as it is
• When we're born into it
• (Thoughts on my mind with no self control)

• So, what's my deal? I just feel hope suffered
• When I think about the world that my kids will grow up in (shit)
• Mass media is feeding no substance and each day
• The law seems to reason no justice (corrupt)
• You could say slate on this cause I got a hate for pigs
• But it's just the way intimidation's gonna make you think
• A free pass for black suits with bare cash
• But be harsh on track suits with air max
• It's true some are feeding on the penny
• Stackplotting high life from the weed up in that 20 bag
• Forget a job, it's easier to sell a batch
• The cycle turns into track like you pedal crack (What?)
• So, if you're doubting, I would scout the trail
• Back to the people that are eager to be alpha males
• Infected by the ethics of the powder sale
• Spreadin' round the brain like the wrecking of a cancer

• And this is how the plan plays
• Many act strange liven' in this rat race
• Shaped by the world when I flow on the beat
• So quote what I speak if you know what I mean
• It's deep (x2)

• I think we're lacking guide, slacking with a fractured mind
• Seeing sight, but we're colored blind seeing traffic lights
• But, I'm seaking signs, reading in between the lines
• Re-difine what your state of mind will believe is right
• What was known logic, is in a closed coffin
• Cause a saints hearing stirs from a false prophet
• Take caution, cause they're warping how we even think
• Trying not to fall when we're walking on this ego trip
• And above us all, some are scared to talk
• Chillin' back on the highest floor of canary wharf
• Fuck a recession, he knows where he shares his thoughts
• One step ahead, so he's not scared to fall
• We're just an army of a marching rank
• Feeding into greed like our market of Armani brands
• You ain't fly unless you're riding a Ferrari back
• Tinted out with garments that are printed with Versace stamp

• And this is how the plan plays
• Many act strange liven' in this rat race
• Shaped by the world when I flow on the beat
• So quote what I speak if you know what I mean
• It's deep (x2)
