[Chorus]
At any given time we could trade places
Oh how the mighty have fallen from high graces
I'm just trying to stay on track in the front like braces
This life is a marathon, we been running through the mazes
Trying to stay the same through the changes
Oh well, I guess that everybody's going through some phases
The quest for validation isn't painless
It's because we just looking for acceptance from strangers

[Verse 1]
I'm running round trying to find myself, I am
The best I can, my n***a I'm just playing my hand
Can't buy into this faulty system, see this shit is a scam
A devious plan to leave us all dead where we stand
I can't reiterate, regurgitate the folklore
That make you feel criminal all because that you want more
While you watching these screens with things seen in your dreams
This shit is human nature, don't we all want cream?
Generational wealth passed down to offsprings
Financial literacy is not a small thing, like damn

[Chorus]
At any given time we could trade places
Oh how the mighty have fallen from high graces
I'm just trying to stay on track in the front like braces
This life is a marathon, we been running through the mazes
Trying to stay the same through the changes
Oh well, I guess that everybody's going through some phases
The quest for validation isn't painless
It's because we just looking for acceptance from strangers
[Verse 2]
My generation stuck in debt and we can't get out
They said by 2050 that there might be a drought
A catastrophic incident that could take us all out
This shit that we inherited and can't do nothing about
These politicians heretics and they consumed by greed
Human leeches and they feasting off of you and me
These bloodsuckers play with numbers so that they can succeed
Rig an election in succession on the quest to achieve
The truth is filled up with the bullshit you like to believe
We only see the shit they want us to see

[Chorus]
At any given time we could trade places
Oh how the mighty have fallen from high graces
I'm just trying to stay on track in the front like braces
This life is a marathon, we been running through the mazes
Trying to stay the same through the changes
Oh well, I guess that everybody's going through some phases
The quest for validation isn't painless
It's because we just looking for acceptance from strangers
