The Chase Lyrics

Cam Young The Chase Lyrics

Verse:
(Uh) I had a dream I would make it here
In this vacant chair, this is something they should fear
Young nigga comin' for the throne, 16 writin 16 scriptures it was known from the fetus
And now they're in the fetal position, chasin' the vision with precision, his disposition was genius
The same ones tryna take me out my zone, now tryna tell me that I'm officially on

Killin, all the irrelevance.. this is evident, definition of excellence
I remember spittin, right in front of that tour bus
Feeling all alone, even though there was 4 of us
It seemed as if I had the whole crowd watching
Man I was only 17, every body rockin'
(Yea)
18 and my dreams faded, I never felt rock bottom until I hit the basement
I left my hometown every body hated, they just wanted to kill my dreams, I was devastated
Then I remember prayin' up to god, feelings of failure, had never hit me this hard
And now I'm on a mission tryna make it to the top, with a million other niggas tryna beat me to the spot (WORK)

Chorus:

(The Chase)
The Chase
(Ima chase my dream)
X6
Verse 2:

Reflections of the past, projections of the greatest
Legends forever last, my presence forever faded, rejection was at the bottom
Perfection was often shaded, though nothing was ever given, ambition told me to take it
This is life, and I was never wanted, and walkin down a path of broken dreams, I was on it
With every one around me talkin down until I made it, the only way I'd ever find the light is if I chased it, then embraced it in
I remember being a cold story, even colder, my soul holdin that gold for me
When I was 17 spittin for the cold hearted
A year later bein back to where I first started
Admit I'm happy that I made it here
They should be happy that I made it here
Instead the envy all the time that I was making, to enlighten all the thoughts and all the dreams that I've been chasing (WORD)

Chorus

(Ima chase my dream)
X6
The Chase
