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 MacBook and a mic stand, look where I took it
And I don't tail coats, nor suits 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 its' 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 blazing
A new trail for the future, till fruits of my labour
Are ripe for the tasting, forever be chasing
Success, 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 itself
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 A.U.S 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
