Human Race - Tunnel Rats

Come on, full speed ahead I’m thinking out the gate

Set the pace, leave the pack, win the race, separate

Respect and decorate your neck with the blue ribbon

Royalty given for a winning attitude

Dude relax with it, take your time, just find a rhythm

Make tracks with it, the velvet rope choke, get it

Everybody’s a critic and loves a winner

Plus you knew this competition is not for beginners

So make a move quick

I gotta get loose and get juiced

See when it’s all said and done, I can telephone truce

For real, I know it seem wrong but you gotta be strong

'Cause if I ain’t the best, I’m the rest

Why’d you even leave home? Not to lose

Then play to win! I do

But then again you running late

Well I was out with the crew

Man, they in they own lane, if you win it’s your game

Yeah that’s true and when I lose, man they don’t feel no pain

Right, now I get it, come on pull away

Time to set it like the answer in the last round

Dig deep down and let it blow

Erupt and go

The foul taste of the human race is all I know fo' sho'

All of us are in this race (we in this race)

Some won’t make it in time (I gotta make it)

Know that competition, it brings division

Don’t get left behind (can't get left behind)

Only the most dedicated ones will end up on top (I gotta get there)

And they won’t hold reservations so you can’t stop (You. Can’t. Stop. Keep on!)

All of us are in this race

Some won’t make it in time (uh uh)

Know that competition brings division

Don’t (don't) get left behind (don't do it!)

I was born into a race that defies all logic

Born into a race that came from the Tropics

Born into the race of all mankind

But whichever the race it seems they all against time

The first is of the spirit for him who can endure

The second is the gift that I was given to explore

The third is the one that we all must run together

Still some run it alone cause they think that kind is better

So whatever, I run to the mark that I’ve been called

Knowin' times ahead 'cause I’ve fallen and stalled

It’s all about balance on this road that never ends

Asking God for understandin' when my mind can’t comprehend

The force of the terrain when it’s too hot to run

Nor the purpose of the rain still he’s trained my brain to keep movin'

Refreshin' my spirit so the pressure’s not consumin'

I’m only human

All of us are in this race (we in this race)

Some won’t make it in time (I gotta make it)

Know that competition, it brings division

Don’t get left behind (can't get left behind)

Only the most dedicated ones will end up on top (I gotta get there)

And they won’t hold reservations so you can’t stop (You. Can’t. Stop. Keep on!)

All of us are in this race

Some won’t make it in time (uh uh)

Know that competition brings division

Don’t (don't) get left behind (don't do it!)

My eyes on finish line, I grab baton and gas it

Hands stretch what they be on, I pass it and move on

See my goal’s been set, forget the side track I’m focused

I’m runnin' on behalf of those who’s hopeless and unnamed

And remain unnoticed yet still continue to maintain

I came with game plan snatched from the clutch of God’s hand

Never abandoned motive, firm standin' like I can

And plant my feet on pages, most couldn’t understand

It’s all been planned since I left class but hit the dust and

Began to run it, 'cause I’m called though some thought I wasn’t

Wasn’t deterred a minute, kept 'em laced in the face of opposition

Raise the pace with pen in hand and proper tracin' off the one who led the way

I took notes in hopes of winnin'

But had the faith enough to know it was over and beginnin'

Winner’s circle occupied, it’s in my nature to prevail

So who next to take my place in human race in case I fail

All of us are in this race (we in this race)

Some won’t make it in time (I gotta make it)

Know that competition, it brings division

Don’t get left behind (can't get left behind)

Only the most dedicated ones will end up on top (I gotta get there)

And they won’t hold reservations so you can’t stop (You. Can’t. Stop. Keep on!)

All of us are in this race

Some won’t make it in time (uh uh)

Know that competition brings division

Don’t (don't) get left behind (don't do it!)
