The Race Lyrics by Jay Show

2020

[Intro]
Yea, yea
You know it's like
Like everyone's in a rush nowadays
Rushing to that goal of not being alone
But
True connection doesn't come from running a race
So slow down
Yea, yea, yea
Aye
[Verse 1]
I be just spending this cash
I spend this cash with the ease
And I be spending it fast
Shit like it's coming for free
Some of these woman will stay
Some of these woman will leave
Some of these girls will play
Some of these girls won't leavе
Why they acting like they know
Whеre you gon' go from me
I am the best you can have
So where you gon' go from me
Not talking physically
I'm talking Spiritually
I'm talking how I could be
I'm talking how could you leave
[Chorus]
She said
Leave me alone
She said
Don't call my phone
Woah
What do you do
When you keep thinking about somebody who just ain't thinking bout you
She said
Give me some space
She said
Lower your pace
There is no forcing this shit
Cause timing is everything
I was just rushing this shit
I guess I was doing the race
[Verse 2]
This shit eating at my conscious now
Always on my mind
I try to keep the peace and calm it down
I'm sorry for the way I ghosted you
But honestly I'm proud of you
Cause look at what you've grown into
I taught you how to love before leaving and how to receive it
And look at you married now
I really can't believe it
I'm sorry for opting in
I'm sorry for opting out
I should've been the bigger man
Could've came to you talked it out
Like
[Chorus]
I could've said
Leave me alone (ooh)
I could've said
Don't call my phone
Woah
What do you do (what do you do)
When you keep thinking about somebody who just ain't thinking bout you
I could've said
Give me some space (ah)
I could've said
Lower your pace
There is no forcing this shit (ah, ah)
Cause timing is everything (ah, ah)
You was just rushing this shit (ah, ah)
I guess you was doing the race (ah)
[Verse 3]
My mom don't like me being with people like you
I heard some things about you didn't think they were true
Your fam' don't like you being with people like me
I'm just guessing that shit
Cause why the fuck else would you leave
That wasn't part of the plan
That wasn't part of the scheme
You went and got a new man
But what the fuck, what about me
I guess I got ghosted too
I guess karma did what it's supposed to do
I just know that I'm so confused
I just know what you told me to do (aye)
[Chorus]
You didn't say
Leave me alone
You didn't say
Don't call my phone
Woah
What do you do
When you keep thinking about somebody who just ain't thinking bout you
You said
Give me some space
You didn't say
Lower your pace
There is no forcing this shit
Cause timing is everything
I was just rushing this shit
I guess I was doing the race
