Yeah, uh, let's get it Yeah, I'ma lay it to him like this, look Wake up, every day's a rat race Money, money, money, gotta keep the pace Can't stop, won't stop, gotta taste that cream Sweatin' like a pig, livin' a capitalist dream The pressure's real, gotta stay on track Gotta grind 24-7, can't look back Take flights to family, friendships for a buck But hey, yeah, it's a price to make a million bucks Every day, gotta live that life and get paid Yeah, yeah, uh The Rat race, the Rat race Got us runnin' in place for the money Money's the only thing that matters Livin' in the world that's only gettin' sadder, yeah Yeah, oh, didn't know we was layin' it like that Let me learn it back on the word quick Yeah, look, strikin' for success Got us obsessed with productivity, money, and progress Livin' in a world there's no time for money Oh, I was only bein' funny Workin' nine-to-five to pay the bills Workin' all the time, followin' the beard appeals The heads are built, finna' runnin' round Only workin' for an old saint, Nick The Rat race, the Rat race Got us runnin' in place, the Rat race Money's the only thing that matters Livin' in the world that's only gettin' sadder The Rat race, yeah, it's the Rat race Got us runnin' round in place Money is the only thing that matters Wanna give out in the system, yeah Wait a minute, hold up, we gotta run it back again Okay, I got you, yeah, look Toxic mindset, gotta conform To the system, it's the new norm Bein' wealthy, it's the ultimate goal Bein' top G, yeah, ha ha Sellin' the soul to that pole What about love, compassion, and joy What about the time with the family you can't employ What about the success measured in cash? Yeah, if we focus on happiness, yeah Life would be a blast Yeah, it's just you and me and that cash Look, it's the Rat race, yeah, it's the Rat race Got us runnin' in place, it's the Rat race Money's not the only thing that matters Livin' in the world that could be happier So let's take a break from the Rat race Live life to the fullest at your pace Success can come in many forms Let's take a break from societal norms, yeah
