Текст песни Chasing Nothing - Sam Ock , J. Han

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
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

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.) x8

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 tryna make attractive an old tune
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

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
