LYRICS:
Intro

You know, they say the road to victory is
Always full of trials and tribulations
Full of hard times and struggle
But, what if you only had 1 mile to go
1 mile to glory...



Tonik

1 mile to walk I got
To the best that money cant buy
somersaults, backflips and sprints
toward the middle where the obstacles come in
Seen others often stop
More so than parking authority cops
No time on the mission, official business
Invision me winning, I'm planning to finish
No bets on the game though
Derwin won't quit the show
Last name on blaze like back of jerseys
You know you heard me, worthy
Said the man upstairs, like a bottom apartment
Land of my lord, I made it
Through the rain, uphill I came
Top of the world, I made it


Chrous

1 mile we got to go (Go)
Even though time moves so slow (Slow)
1 mile left to go (Go)
Perseverence all we know, cause

1 mile we got to go (Go)
even though time moves so slow (Slow)
1 mile left to go (Go)
Perseverence all we know

1 mile we got to go (Go)
Even though time moves so slow (Slow)


1 mile left to go (Go)
Perseverence all we know, cause

1 mile we got to go (Go)
even though time moves so slow (Slow)
1 mile left to go (Go)
Perseverence all we know


Epidemic

Its only 1 mile
In the middle of the race you can call me
Usain Bolt, 1 mile
Don't see nobody up before me
Finish line, go hard
Harder than all the ones up before me
Look at my face no smiles
For the gold nobody can hold me
They know he, cannot be stopped by no common man
Superhero like marvel, marvel to modern man
On point like uncle sam
Case and point he's the one
Even the Neo run
Running he's closing in

(Chrous)


Entity

SO it seems, all of our hopes and dreams
Are almost where they're supposed to be
Closer to my reality
Been through a lot of struggle and tragedy
I'm, yes that much stronger now
And I'm tearing down all the obstacles
Tryna leave me in the dust behind
I'm only one mile away from my avalon
Been a long road and I come too far
I'm, not gonna turn around I define
Diligence with the mountains I climb
Victory is mine, I'll be fine
In the times of trouble, I shine
Hard work giving up is a crime
I never stop I'm still in my prime
Give it up, stop wasting my time

(Chrous)


TYT

Never said Im better, you can bet Im a veteran
Im sick, but I dont need medicine
Walkin, slowly, and lonely, and I am barefoot
Through snow, through sand, with no handbook
T.Y.T. is the man, look! no crook... But I do have a story
Cliched category, but I got one mile to glory!
You can say that Im ordinary/stationary, but emotions vary
My world started feeling heavy when life popped my cherry
Like- a circle of virgins thats hurtin for squirtins
I'm closing the curtains, observing the urchins where predatorslurk
Protecting my turf
Not losing my shirt
I'm feeling berserk
At work I wanna hurt my boss
Burn his house, kill his spouse, and say its his loss


Can't lose sight, like misplaced opticals
stay logical and philosophical and you obstacles are optional
& I gotta pull one foot... in front, of the other

-the gutters a bummer -Im under the tunnel -I wonder when summer is -shining- the light is so blinding -
I'm finding -that I am a pilot -thats fighting the time thats against me, its silly but really the walk is so hilly, you feel me... but really... will not go with me.

better off moving by myself is confusion
losing my shoes and my toes are bruised
and the soles have holes and my grip lost hold - but I got to go
I'm alone on the road... no growth to show... my foes got pwned , owned, disowned-
THROWN away in the garbage...
Life is a crop... prepare for the harvest.

I downloaded the album from Rhyme Torrents. This is really good!... really really good.

[RuneWalsh]

@jhas777 Thanks for checking it out :)

[abelizable]

it's not really a collaboration if they have no idea that you took their songs and rapped on they're tracks .. thumbs down

[RuneWalsh]

Looks like some people always manage to find SOMETHING to complain about, lol.

Ratatat already knows about the album, and in fact, they downloaded a copy for themselves. Why not listen to the music and stop nitpicking?

[Ryznup]

Awesome track! I'm been a fan of Ratatat's music since I first heard their music back in 2007, and this collaboration is cool. Great lyrics where there isn't cursing every 5 to 10 seconds that are spit with an awesome flow.

[MrMatWeller]

This is better for inspiration than the Rocky theme.

[nev3rh00d]

luved everything about it!

[chocokitty7312]

[VALObrand]

[jhas777]

@RuneWalsh It's really worth it. I loved every second and played it like there's no tomorrow. They must hate it in the office by now. Or maybe not since I haven't heard complains. ;)
