Human Race by Tunnel Rats Lyrics
[Verse 1: Raphi]
Come on, full speed ahead I'm thinking out the gate
Set the pace, leave the pack, win the race, separate
Respect and decorate your neck with the blue ribbon
Royalty given for a winning attitude
Dude relax with it, take your time, just find a rhythm
Make tracks with it, the velvet rope choke, get it
Everybody's a critic and loves a winner
Plus you knew this competition is not for beginners
So make a move quick
I gotta get loose and get juiced
See when it's all said and done, I can telephone truce
For real, I know it seem wrong but you gotta be strong
'Cause if I ain't the best, I'm the rest
Why'd you even leave home? Not to lose
Then play to win! I do
But then again you running late
Well I was out with the crew
Man, they in they own lane, if you win it's your game
Yeah that's true and when I lose, man they don't feel no pain
Right, now I get it, come on pull away
Time to set it like the answer in the last round
Dig deep down and let it blow
Erupt and go
The foul taste of the human race is all I know fo' sho'
[Hook: ?, Raphi, ? and Ralphi]
All of us are in this race (we in this race)
Some won't make it in time (I gotta make it)
Know that competition, it brings division
Don't get left behind (can't get left behind)
Only the most dedicated ones will end up on top (I gotta get there)
And they won't hold reservations so you can't stop (You. Can't. Stop. Keep on!)
All of us are in this race
Some won't make it in time (uh uh)
Know that competition brings division
Don't (don't) get left behind (don't do it!)
[Verse 2: Elsie]
I was born into a race that defies all logic
Born into a race that came from the Tropics
Born into the race of all mankind
But whichever the race it seems they all against time
The first is of the spirit for him who can endure
The second is the gift that I was given to explore
The third is the one that we all must run together
Still some run it alone cause they think that kind is better
So whatever, I run to the mark that I've been called
Knowin' times ahead 'cause I've fallen and stalled
It's all about balance on this road that never ends
Asking God for understandin' when my mind can't comprehend
The force of the terrain when it's too hot to run
Nor the purpose of the rain still he's trained my brain to keep movin'
Refreshin' my spirit so the pressure's not consumin'
I'm only human
[Hook: ?, Raphi, ? and Ralphi]

Don't (don't) get left behind (don't do it!)
[Verse 3: Jurny Big]
My eyes on finish line, I grab baton and gas it
Hands stretch what they be on, I pass it and move on
See my goal's been set, forget the side track I'm focused
I'm runnin' on behalf of those who's hopeless and unnamed
And remain unnoticed yet still continue to maintain
I came with game plan snatched from the clutch of God's hand
Never abandoned motive, firm standin' like I can
And plant my feet on pages, most couldn't understand
It's all been planned since I left class but hit the dust and
Began to run it, 'cause I'm called though some thought I wasn't
Wasn't deterred a minute, kept 'em laced in the face of opposition
Raise the pace with pen in hand and proper tracin' off the one who led the way
I took notes in hopes of winnin'
But had the faith enough to know it was over and beginnin'
Winner's circle occupied, it's in my nature to prevail
So who next to take my place in human race in case I fail
[Hook: ?, Raphi, ? and Ralphi]
