[Verse 1: Marty McKay] [Verse 2: Canibus] What is my life like swinging from a dirty shoestring that used to be white Now it's only white and black light BYOB and VIP in front of CIC Got thrown out the club that night It was daylight, dark, I slept on a bench in the park The disgusting stench of my fart made me vomit when I tried to talk Off balance when I tried to walk, I was high as a hawk Get home, take clothes off, crawl into a bath of Epsom salt Warm water and dozed off over time Additional bonus credit, year soul is mine, I still find it hard to toe the line By the time the pendulum swings back this way My perspective is old but your hair is grey It wouldn't mattеr much if experiencе is king But the lack of instinct kicks us all out of sync Pressed by now, problem solved You might not have to go outside at all [Verse 3: Marty McKay] [Verse 4: Canibus] Every week man, how's Mondays for Tuesdays tournament After waterboard Wednesday, Thursday is down the toilet 40 Acres and a Mule and an apple orchard On Friday they foreclose one By the Sabbath I'm so exhausted, Sunday I can't do the recording But I'll do it tomorrow I promise Rat Race where you put the cat in the same cage The serval cat makes the rat act strange Stress manifest depressed Erectile dysfunction, they can't get it up for sex [Chorus] [Verse 5: Canibus & ] What you strive for affects others around you What they strive for is not even about you Can't beat 'em join 'em, they'll just do it without you But find a way to go around you We talk of routines, we work all day Stuck in a dead end job that don't pay Stuck in a dead end job, we're live bait Stuck in a place we call the Rat Race
