Lyrics

[Verse 1] I don't need the hype man, just give me the life I don't want a bite, I want the whole damned slice Got me some advice, they said keep your circle tight 'Cause the whispers in your ear will tell you wrong or right Everyone I ever hated I had love for too What you do defines you So they say to stay true Stay you and let them do what them do Never worry your head with how they feel in them mental My pencil to the nub, my eraser gone Replaced pain with song How many times I go long And times we throw strong after questions came? This is why people say that life's a game If we tame every lion then the jungle is ours But the victory is sour because they're just cats If we conquer every frontier and know every secret Horizons stop calling It's just a stupid map [Chorus] It's a game, it's a race Every face every place Every one I know Every year I've grown We can tally all the years With the blood, sweat, and tears Everything I know What I've got to show [Verse 2] And that there's a shame, my son tought me wonder Tought me how dependent we all are on each other Showed me that the pressure we assume could break pipes Just exposes the rust so we can heal our scars Bars Motivated by the weekend And dedicated to the moment Please show me my opponent Please tell me there's a limit I'ma set new goals I'ma show that my stripes are made of gold And so as a kid on my bike racing down the sidewalk Now I'm grown, I'm supposed to keep that sidewalk clear Moved my mom out my childhood home, 'cause that's life Walk away, but always keep the memories you hold dear [Chorus] It's a game, it's a race Every face every place Every one I know Every year I've grown We can tally all the years With the blood, sweat, and tears Everything I know What I've got to show [Verse 3] Lay it bare like a brick Pour that mortar on thick That's life Them's the breaks That might be the meaning For sure those are the things that define all your leanings For the beating of the drums and the fog of war These are things that really tell us what we're here for If I huff and puff and blow the house down Then them silly pigs didn't do a good job Wood and straw from all the people that just haven't figured out Get it out, it's not about covering every flaw [Chorus x2] It's a game, it's a race Every face every place Every one I know Every year I've grown We can tally all the years With the blood, sweat, and tears Everything I know What I've got to show
