Rat Race from 2020 by Gepetto

bust the nuance,
custom shoe on,
the beat thumps/
turn a fuckin rapper to meat lumps
with each month/2

… and every day of the week
i leak bumps/
out the basement,
you cats taste it, but lack patience/4

to replicate, turn this shit up,
i bet ya neck’ll break/
respect the great,
a check and a mate/
that’s what I get from making/6

classics, your previous attempts
get smashed, kid/
infectious with the rap shit
a treacherous passage/8

what these cats face/
ya tape is unacceptable
like wearing blackface/
this ain’t no halloween festival/12

it’s a rat race,
so keep your balance and schedule/
you in last place,
my talents untestable, fuck/

(Chorus)

You know i stay fitted up,
Shit on critics and such
I know I’m dope fool
Aint no need to piss in a cup/

I did enough work, stages get murked
I go berzerk
with a verse
Put my dick in the dirt and didn’t squirt/ 4

So its still fuck the planet
Or at least the people on it
Make a hater vomit
Hit world like a comet/6

Super sonic,
Breakin barriers with phonics/
Trying to see my face up on the paper like the chronic/8

Since the 2 g, i grew to do this with ease,
first i heard it as a shorty
Now fulfillin the dream/
I still believe
Still recording
Trying to build me a scheme
No longer swimming with goldfish I filter my stream/

Upper echelon cat
stretch em on wax
Break ya back
To the Metronome snaps
Catch a long nap/

I keep the pressure on
Fresher on tracks/
I don’t smoke
But in the lab
You’re the one that catch a contact/
