You

[Intro: DJ Premier & Evidence]

Let's go back to the music

As always, a lot of new music this evening

Yo, that was the Evidence joint you just played, right?

Yeah, I Don't Need Love

Yeah, very dope

Yeah, Ev is, Ev is definitely like becoming one of my favorite MCs out there right now, word up

Shout out to Ev and the whole Dilated crew

Let's get back to some new music

I'm on the Evidence Project too

We just did a banger

It's gonna be coming through

Microphone check 1, 2

[Chorus]

Who's the one that's been running the race? Me

Who's the one that's been running in place? You

And who's the one you tried to find, so tough

But the whole time, sitting right in front of your face? Yes

[Verse 1]

I'm on another level, I mean another label

Players don't die, we try our luck at other tables

And when I lose, I learn – I'm still winning major

I jump forward then back and through the missing stages

A perfect day to make a perfect entrance

A perfect sentence, I can't perfect

But I just keep pushing pencils, no fake trace stencils

Do it all by hand so they have respect

I know the feeling when you're dealing with accomplishments

Wishing they would diss you

Instead they give you compliments

That's what made you who you are, not what you became

Part of being a star is getting burned in flames

Kind of ill, the mind's a trip

20/20 when we broke but blind when rich

I just see it as a sign but kept rhyming instead

And keep lighting up these pads like Simon Says

[Chorus]

Who's the one that's been running the race? Me

Who's the one that's been running in place? You

And who's the one you tried to find, so tough

But the whole time, sitting right in front of your face? Yes

[Verse 2]

One's a lonely number, two's the first loser

So how the fuck can you win and become a drug abuser?

Slappin' these beats, I'm no snoozer

Six million ways to die, go ahead and choose one!

We from the same block, but all we getting is the same guap

I think one of us needs to shine

Only room for one, one of us needs to go

Sink a boat and only one'll survive

Caution at the wheel, Westside when I drive slow

First sign of tidal waves when you see the tide low

Wanted for murder and theft, they said I'm liable

I shot the sheriff but didn't steal his rifle

I can't define what's real and what's imagination

Since I signed that deal before my graduation

I went from running track and field to tracks with feel

To Grammys with Ye before Late Registration

[Chorus]

Who's the one that's been running the race? Me

Who's the one that's been running in place? You

And who's the one you tried to find, so tough

But the whole time, sitting right in front of your face? Yes

[Verse 3]

Fast-forward: No kids, one car, no Rollie

One crib, trips to Chile with kush in the Philly

Every journey starts with one step, that's on me

One foot in front of the other like, "Come on, feet!"

One life, one love, bat a G for one glove

For Mike rest in peace, shot a bullet from one snub

I keep it pushin' as one does, you only get one shot

One glance, one chance at one buzz

One never knows hopes and dreams

The farther we fly, the closer it seems

Back to the one squared

All I need in this life is one snare

One mic,direct flights and Nike One Airs

One of a kind, still one to my grind

One time for your motherfucking mind

When I flow, know that the rain soon comes

See, you might win some, but you just lost one

[Chorus]

Who's the one that's been running the race? Me

Who's the one that's been running in place? You

And who's the one you tried to find, so tough

But the whole time, sitting right in front of your face? Yes
