Rat Race
Breaking Chains: Cole The Tyrant's Anthem Against Conformity
Lyrics
Rat race, rat race you all inside a rat race
Expresses being caught in a competitive, exhausting cycle
Rat race, rat race the rat's inside a rat cage
Reiterates feeling trapped within a confining situation
Rat race, rat race you all inside a rat race
Repeats the theme of being stuck in a relentless competition
Rat race, rat race the rat's inside a rat cage
Restates feeling confined within a limiting environment
Been placed in a cage from an early on age
Reflects being restricted or confined since an early age
And I began to wonder I wonder is there another way?
Questions if there's an alternative way to live
A way to make it out yeah I gotta make it out, awake from my slumber imma make it out today!
Determined to break free from the current situation
Arise from my slumber and I take a look around and I look at my surroundings and then I start to frown
Observing surroundings with disappointment
I frown at this world in many ways it's not pleasing
Expresses displeasure with the world's aspects
Trapped in a cage and it's drugs I've been eating
Feels trapped in a cycle of substance abuse
Drugs designed to nullify drugs designed to hypnotize
References drugs that manipulate and control
Been stuck on them so long I am blind I can't use my eyes
Has become dependent on substances, losing clear sight
But now I have this vision a futuristic mission but who been putting drugs in my mouth? I hate to mention...
Realizes a visionary goal but questions drug influence
"Who do you think you are? You think you can escape my little game?"
Encounter with a controlling force challenging escape
"Yeah! I'll escape! I'll be different I'll beat you in your own game!"
Determination to defy and succeed against this force
"No you won't!"
Denial of the possibility of success
"I'll be different, I swear!"
Reasserts the intent to break free from control
Talking down on me they always talking down on me
Experiences ridicule and disbelief for personal aspirations
I tell them all my goals and I swear it's something that they can't believe
Others doubt and mock personal goals
Joke about my mind say it's riddled with insanity
Subjected to criticism regarding mental state
Been stuck alone so long I am tryna find a remedy
Seeks a solution after prolonged isolation
Ay ay, down for a fight I'm doing what's right
Ready to confront challenges for what is right
Dress like I'm seven I'm wearing all neon because I just know that my future is bright
Expresses confidence in a promising future
Supporters they with me can't do it alone cause I ain't no Holden from Catcher in the Rye
Recognizes the importance of support for success
Think like I'm Yoda I'm strong like a Jedi do or do not cause there won't be a try
Adopts a resilient mindset akin to a powerful figure
Do or do not cause there won't be a try, do or do not cause there won't be a try
Emphasizes the determination to succeed without hesitation
Aim for the stars so I'll shoot till I die, cracks in the ceiling is that really a crime?
Aspires high despite existing limitations
Try to chain me up imma never do my time, try to keep me quiet but I'll never be a mime
Refuses to be constrained or silenced by others
This world'll be mine you can try to take me down but I swear I'll be a king wear a big golden crown
Asserts dominance over challenges, aiming for success
Ay, wear a big golden crown, wanna see my kingdom? Just take a look around
Confidently displays the vision of a prosperous future
All of the lions they scheme against me I'm the lion king they Scar and they wanna see me bleed
Identifies opposition and plots to overcome it
Eye covers off we see what it's meant to be
Ready to face reality without illusions
Playing by the rules is so disheartening
Views conformity negatively, seeks individual path
I know that imma do it just watch and wait and see
Expresses certainty in achieving personal goals
I leave behind my herd yeah forget complacently
Rejects settling for a passive, unambitious life
Talking down on me they always talking down on me I tell them all my goals and I swear it's something that they can't believe
Reiteration of facing skepticism towards personal goals
Joke about my mind say it's riddled with insanity
Continued ridicule of mental state, seeking a solution
Been stuck alone so long I am tryna find a remedy
Continued quest to find a remedy for isolation
