Lyrics

The chase, the chase, the chase

The repetition of "The chase" emphasizes the central theme of pursuing goals or ambitions.

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

Expressing determination and urgency, suggesting a relentless pursuit without stopping or waiting.

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

Life is likened to a chase, highlighting its unpredictable nature, and the reference to a MacBook and a mic stand indicates the artist's tools for success.

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

Rejecting traditional paths, embracing a free-spirited life, and acknowledging the challenges of a vagabond lifestyle.

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

Viewing failures as part of the process, emphasizing the importance of perseverance and proving oneself amidst challenges.

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

Commitment to perfecting skills, embarking on a significant journey, and building something valuable for the future.

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

Reiteration of determination, pushing boundaries, and embracing challenges represented by the "red line."

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

Defying expectations, acknowledging hard work, and blazing a new trail for the future with a strong work ethic.

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

Expressing the relentless pursuit of success despite obstacles, encouraging patience, and emphasizing the value of hustling.

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

Overtaking others in the pursuit of goals, with a long-term perspective on turning the chase into a triumph.

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

Reiterating the theme of determination and pushing forward, represented by putting the "pedal to metal" and the "red line."

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

Commitment to success, regardless of the specific path taken, and a dedication to hard work, resilience, and loyalty to one's roots.

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

Final affirmation of determination, urgency, and commitment to the chase, with a reference to the "red line" symbolizing intensity.

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
