The Chase
Illy Lyrics

The chase, the chase, the chase
Repeated line emphasizing the pursuit of a goal or success

Ayy yo, I'm putting the pedal to metal
I'm going all out in my pursuit

Might as well cut the breaks 'cause we don't stop
I'm committed and won't let anything slow me down

And we don't wait until it's too late
We act quickly and seize opportunity

Red line for the chase, full tilt
Giving maximum effort and pushing boundaries to achieve success

Welcome to the chase, that's life man
Life is a journey of striving and constantly chasing success

What you can hold up in your left and your right hand
Success and wealth are attainable with hard work

And it could change overnight with the right plan
Success can come quickly with the right strategy

With little more than a MacBook and a mic stand, look where I took it
Success can come from humble beginnings

And I don't tail coats, nor suits and ties
I don't conform to traditional standards or follow others

And I don't ride coat tails, bye to the routine, I'm
I don't rely on the success or influence of others and I'm breaking away from the norm

Buckled up for a beautiful, if at times suitable for vagabond dude type life
I'm ready for the unpredictable and unconventional life of chasing success

Don't view it as failure if I miss it
Missing a goal is not a failure, but an opportunity to learn and keep pushing

I just figure I proved that that way gets turfed
Failing proves that a certain method isn't working and needs to be changed

In the process of elimination
Eliminating methods that don't work to find ones that do

Gotta keep proving wrongs till the right one works
Keep trying different methods until the right one leads to success

So we're perseverin', polishin' the tracks
We're persistently refining our methods and skills

Till it hurts to hear em, 'bout to embark
We're putting in extreme effort and determination in preparation for success

On the journey of an era, so it's only right
We're on a journey of historical significance and success is inevitable

I'ma build us a ship worth steering, say it with me
I'm creating a successful opportunity for myself and others and calling for support

Screw the rules if they mess with the tune of my message
I won't let rules or expectations hinder my success

What's expected, can't touch what you're doing if its' destined
Destiny overrides expectations and ensures success

Do the hard yards, step by footstep
Success requires hard work and dedication, one step at a time

'Cause with opportunity comes effort
Opportunities require effort to reach their full potential

It's more than a debate on whose is the greatest
Success isn't about being the best, it's about pursuing your own goals and achievements

Credits due to all the true innovators
Success is built on the hard work and innovation of those who came before us

I followed in their footsteps, now I'm blazing
Learning from successful individuals and forging your own path to success

A new trail for the future, till fruits of my labour
Pioneering a path to success that will bear fruit for generations to come

Are ripe for the tasting, forever be chasing
Success is never truly complete and must constantly be chased

Success, for those who despite condemnation
Success often comes to those who persevere despite criticism and doubt

Kept going, and failures forsaken
Pushing through failures and not letting them hinder future success

For those who didn't know how close they were when they gave in
Success may be just around the corner, even when it feels out of reach

Stay patient, but don't hesitate
Patience is important, but also important to seize opportunities when they arise

'Cause everything comes to those who hustle while they wait
Success comes to those who work hard and stay dedicated while waiting for their opportunity

So let em kick back, I'ma overtake their place
While others relax, I'll push forward and take their place in success

I make a promise to you mama
A promise to loved ones that success will be achieved

If I don't end up a lawyer, swear I'll still be a rich motherfucker
Success can come from sources other than traditional careers

One way or another
Success will be achieved, no matter the path taken

But I don't need all the world's money in my life to love it
Success and wealth isn't the only measure of happiness

I'm gonna ride for the come up, rise till I lay down
I'll work hard until success is achieved, even until the end of my life

Shine till the sun's up, rhyme till I break ground
Continuing to work and create until the end

Lights blurred, no safety belt
Moving fast towards success with no safety net

I'm on the chase hard out man, success ain't gonna make itself
I'm working hard to achieve success because it won't come without effort

And I ain't gonna wake when I'm old
I don't want to regret not pursuing success when I'm older

In regret that I woke out of a dream, just to chase the gold
Regretting not pursuing dreams and success earlier in life

Nah I'ma hold tight on this rollercoaster
Continuing to hold on tight during the ups and downs of working towards success

Of a ride called life, and I am
Life is a journey and I'm looking forward to all it has to offer

Prepared for the worst but expecting the best
Anticipating challenges but keeping a positive attitude towards success

You can ride alongside or get left for dead
Others can join in the pursuit of success or be left behind

Repping A.U.S man, Melbourne in the place
Representing Australia and Melbourne in the pursuit of success

Since we finish where we start yo, welcome to the chase
Life is a journey of constantly working towards success, and it starts and ends with the chase.
