[Verse 1]
Life is a race, I’m moving fast
Cash in my palm, but it never lasts
Money on my mind, pressure on my chest
Work all day, I can’t take no rest
Drugs on the table, alcohol burn
Women on the phone, everybody turn
Rum and coke, vodka, tequila shot
Take my money? Man, I earned a lot
[Pre-Chorus]
Family call, I hear that ring
Friends stay close, enemies sting
Take decisions, cut through the smoke
Love cut deep, hate leave notes
[Chorus]
Check my pulse, I’m still alive
I been running just to stay in stride
Check my pulse, I don’t fold
World on fire, I’m ice-cold
Check my pulse, I’m still alive
(chk-check my pulse) I survive
[Verse 2]
Travel around the world with a bag and a plan
New stamp on the page, new pain in my hand
Same old fear when the deal get real
Same old grin when I close that wheel
Some want the throne, some want the fame
Some want my spot, but they don’t want the strain
I seen love turn, I seen hate talk loud
I seen a small man lose his name in a crowd
[Pre-Chorus]
Family call, I hear that ring
Friends stay close, enemies sting
Take decisions, cut through the smoke
Love cut deep, hate leave notes
[Chorus]
Check my pulse, I’m still alive
I been running just to stay in stride
Check my pulse, I don’t fold
World on fire, I’m ice-cold
Check my pulse, I’m still alive
(chk-check my pulse) I survive
[Bridge]
If I fall, I fall on my feet
If I lose, I learn the beat
Take my money, I take the lesson
Pressure made me into a weapon
[Chorus]
Check my pulse, I’m still alive
I been running just to stay in stride
Check my pulse, I don’t fold
World on fire, I’m ice-cold
Check my pulse, I’m still alive
(chk-check my pulse) I survive
