Fate by Taka Taka Lyrics
Verse 1:
It's not often I get off then go home straight to bed
Pulling double after double, but still ain't stackin' no bread
I ain't even really hungry, just wanted more weight like lead
The country gettin' dense, unstable ground that we tread
Livin' check to check n checkin' over my head
Glass ceilin' gettin' closer, but so is untimely death
By the time we 25, they break our spirits or what's left
Unless they literally kill us, then walk free cause they vest
Hook:
Don't know if I'll escape
I'm tryna catch my fate
I'm tryna catch my fate
Cause it's runnin' runnin' way
Verse 2:
We Top ramen children that adapted up to dealin'
First it was candy then I taught myself to reel in
Some clientele back in middle school what a feelin'
So when I got my first script, never nervous straight to flippin'
And why you lookin' at us like we was the villain?
All I've been told to do was use the tools I was given
Perception clouds truth till our views are different
I wanna see eye to eye but your reality missin'
Hook:
Don't know if I'll escape
I'm tryna catch my fate
I'm tryna catch my fate
Cause it's runnin' runnin' way
Verse 3:
If I drop a single album greatest is the outcome
Fixated on my craft, hated by the same who clout hunt
Never sit around and dabbled, win the battle then you out son
Go home, Catch your breath, take a rest on the couch bum
Won't stop till I have a mil in my grandkid's route num
So I'ma keep stackin' tracks on top tracks 'til they out run
Anything your "goat" has ever wrote, straight at the rap game's throat
Until I emerge from the smoke with a spliff and some hope
Hook:
Don't know if I'll escape
I'm tryna catch my fate
I'm tryna catch my fate
Cause it's runnin' runnin' way
It's not often I get off then go home straight to bed
Pulling double after double, but still ain't stackin' no bread
I ain't even really hungry, just wanted more weight like lead
The country gettin' dense, unstable ground that we tread
Livin' check to check n checkin' over my head
Glass ceilin' gettin' closer, but so is untimely death
By the time we 25, they break our spirits or what's left
Unless they literally kill us, then walk free cause they vest
Hook:
Don't know if I'll escape
I'm tryna catch my fate
I'm tryna catch my fate
Cause it's runnin' runnin' way
Verse 2:
