Lyrics

Ask me what it feel like starin' at a sky so vanilla
Tellin' Kurt Russell homie this ain't real life
I'll be makin' good on my promises,
Honesty is confidence
Lot of it is missin' but I realize
I could be better than I was
Lighter on my feet
Cookin up this soul when we fire up the beat
Light the fire underneath me, higher when I speak
Like I'm climbin up a steep tree
Oooh come and greet me
After the show, after the lights, after the shine
After the hoes, half of them yours, half of em mine
Happen to find they grill me but I'm the chef you want
Once you get a little taste imma buy the restaurant
Sittin at the top synonym, upper echelon
Busy watching my life, stop, I can get you one
Haters are always hanging round like a crucifix
But I been on the chase homie I'm a fugitive

Nowadays got it all figured out
I don't really gotta' take so long (take so long)
But I'm missin all the times in the past
When I couldnt see your face at all
That's why, the chase is on, the chase is on, the chase is on
That's why, the chase is on, the chase is on, the chase is on

Yeah, I said I could love a mystery
More than any misdemeanor
I ain't into wizardry
But all I see are these Sabrinas
Teenage witches with the Visas, Mastercards and Listerine
Got me so stressed one day I will look like Mr. Clean
Sheesh not a bald man, who here needs a hall pass?
I would rather kick it and do nothin' like a mall rat
Never kel mitchell but baby I swear I'm all that
Cuz I leap years everytime you fall back
To where you came from
Now where the hate go?
Oh you from wu-tang?
Then why's your face ghost?
Bottle up my confidence and sell it by the case load
Take a bunch of optimists, and drop em in the same boat
Ask I'm if that shits half full, half empty
Too big for my own good, dikembe
Mutombo you dumbos just envy
Name a bunch of rappers and pretend that you forget me but-

Nowadays got it all figured out
I don't really gotta' take so long (take so long)
But I'm missin all the times in the past
When I couldn't see your face at all
That's why, the chase is on, the chase is on, the chase is on
That's why, the chase is on, the chase is on, the chase is on

So we say chasin on
Gettin' paid
Break yo' heart
Every day
But if you want Imma take it all back
If you want Imma take it all back

So we say chasin on
Gettin paid
Break yo' heart
Every day
But if you want Imma take it all back
If you want Imma take it all back

Nowadays got it all figured out
I don't really gotta take so long (take so long)
But I'm missin all the times in the past
When I couldn't see your face at all
That's why, the chase is on, the chase is on, the chase is on
That's why, the chase is on, the chase is on, the chase is on
