Chasing Nothing

[Verse 1: Uzuhan]

I was once told I could have the world

It was mine to hold like a bag of pearls

Who’s gonna stop me on this endeavor?

Live your life and seize the day; man, it’s now or never!

I guess the motto’s “study hard to be a scholar.”

Better know I put in work 'cause I’ve earned every dollar

I don’t wanna be a coward who cripples under another man

I merely wanna live unafraid, ever with the upper hand

I imagine being a man of prominence -- relying only on myself

My appetite for the comfy life requires me to acquire more wealth

Sometimes, I admit that I spend more time trying to keep up with the Joneses

I try to not compare my cots of tulips to their beds of roses


[Pre-Chorus]

But that’s okay cause everything is great

I remain the man on top; shall we pop some chardonnay?

I still got all my money. I still got all my stuff

But why’s it still feel like it’s not enough?


[Hook]

I was full speed on this road of gold

All about me -- always on the go

Lusting for the top of that totem pole

But in light of eternity, I saw that

I was chasing nothing at all (Money)

I was chasing nothing at all (Cause)

I was chasing nothing at all (Success)

I was chasing nothing at all (Pride)

I was chasing nothing at all (Cover)

I was chasing nothing at all (Lies)

I was chasing nothing at all (At all) (2x)


[Verse 2: Uzuhan]

I was once told I could have the world

It was mine to hold like a bag of pearls

Who’s gonna stop me on this endeavor?

Live your life and seize the day; man, it’s now or never!

I’m young and wild; party ‘til my last breath

We only got one chance to live, why not live on the ledge?

Forget what people say; do what you think is right

If truth is relative then you don’t gotta fret it twice

You make your own rules, commandments are just old rules

Yo, Why’d I gotta listen to that old dude? Be moral -- that’s old news

I’m on that new new; gotta check up on my YouTube

I don’t got a bit of time to waste on you trying make attractive to me an old tune


[Pre-Chorus]

But that’s okay cause everything is great

I remain the man on top; shall we pop some chardonnay?

I still got all my money. I’m still having my fun

But why’s it still feel like it’s not enough?


[Hook]

I was full speed on this road of gold

All about me -- always on the go

Lusting for the top of that totem pole

But in light of eternity, I saw that

I was chasing nothing at all (Money)

I was chasing nothing at all (Cause)

I was chasing nothing at all (Success)

I was chasing nothing at all (Pride)

I was chasing nothing at all (Cover)

I was chasing nothing at all (Lies)

I was chasing nothing at all (At all) (2x)


[Bridge]

My greatest lie that the world taught to me

Is that my freedom is who I can be

Who then am I but a spark in eternity?

I’ll run in light of the sovereign throne

I’ll run for Glory who calls me His own

I will abandon these broken dreams

For You are everything


[Hook]

I was full speed on this road of gold

All about me -- always on the go

Lusting for the top of that totem pole

But in light of eternity, I saw that

I was chasing nothing at all (Money)

I was chasing nothing at all (Cause)

I was chasing nothing at all (Success)

I was chasing nothing at all (Pride)

I was chasing nothing at all (Cover)

I was chasing nothing at all (Lies)

I was chasing nothing at all (At all) (2x)
