The Race

Intro]
(Ooooo)
Oooooooo
(Yeah… yeah)
⸻
[Hook – Strong, timeless]
Life moves fast but the truth stays patient,
(Let it breathe)
Everybody running like the world needs saving.
Take a little time to find your placement,
(Find your place)
every lost step doesn’t lead to a bad situation.
I been on the edge but I still won’t cave in,
(Nah)
Searching for myself but I keep on changing.
Life moves fast but the truth stays patient…
Patient…
(Stay patient)
⸻
[Verse]
I took my eyes off the map for a second,
That’s all it took to lose sense of direction.
Lost with a purpose always ends with a lesson —
So don’t count on me,
count your testings, that’s the blessings.
Everything is anything,
it’s really what you make it.
Death — we all face it —
that’s what makes life so amazing.
So hurry up and take your time,
stay steady while the wait shifts.
Let them rush for gold —
stick to the basics, lead with patience.
You won’t always be around,
either will they… everybody’s race ends.
⸻
[Bridge – Short, deep, reflective]
Slow down… slow down…
(Yeah)
Everything you’re chasing gon’ fade somehow.
Breathe in… breathe out…
Take a step back, let the truth come out.
⸻
[Verse 2]
Nothing ever is the same yet everything is cut and dry
looking up while in the rain.
Makes it hard to see the sky,
why we’re in a rush we can’t explain
cause heaven is the finish line,
the more lives that you take away
the less I mind you taking mine

[Outro – Minimal]
(Ooooo)
Take your time…
(Yeah…)
Everything you lost makes sense in time.
(Ooooo… yeah)
