nate rose - tortoise & the hare lyrics
intro:
i maneuver very aware
that’s part of being prepared
gimme any beat with a snare
and i’ll get ‘em beat and ensnared
this the story of the tortoise and the hare
that’s something to keep in mind
for any beating me there
apples and oranges to even try to compare
elaboration in store
my fruit’s coming to bear
this parable that i’m quoting
the parallels quite apparent
i’ll paint a picture with brush strokes
canvas
verse 1:
rabbit went fast
phone call got him hopping out the f+cking lab
hе just e+signed and did some numbers on thеy ass
50k advance, he gone get it all in cash
he just hit his partner, said that he made 50 bands
all it took was signing off on 85 percent
now with 15 songs delivered he ain’t even make a dent
contemplating bout his living situation and his rent
but to him it’s feeding his ego
get validation from people
perception of being on
feel like heroin via needle
inner circle full of yes men
a blue check
and now he think that he set
but he won’t get a piece yet
nahh
he’s jaded
and frequently getting faded
the single that got him signed, they want him to recreate it
inspiration is missing
excuses done got him fishing
he blaming it on the system
but still in the same position
but n0body made him sign that sh+t
he was happy when he inked the dotted line back then
this the story of the tortoise and the hare
that’s something to keep in mind
for any beating me there b+tch
hook:
run fast you stupid motherf+cker
you better run
you better run
you better run
you better run
verse 2:
turtle done went slow
a decade of dedication
a struggle they ain’t know
i navigated the business
through trials and tribulations
unwavered in my belief in myself to achieve greatness
learned every sk!ll to be self+sufficient
frequently exercise ‘em so they’re remaining proficient
vertically integrated
horizontally too
formed a media company to leverage other pursuits
compounding effect with views
catalog getting deeper
they counted me out initially
now they wanting a feature
consistent, frequent rewards
6 figures up on the board
and full creative control
a life they couldn’t afford
happier than a b+tch
and answer to n0body
you do twice the numbers i do
but still you a n0body
and i know you never netted
perpetually indebted
your took off the line fast
but ain’t know where you were headed
every decision made
was calculated in nature
educated myself and elevated my paper
this the story of the tortoise and the hare
that’s something to keep in mind
for any beating me there b+tch
hook:
run fast you stupid motherf+cker
you better run
you better run
you better run
you better run
