Chasing Nothing by J. Han x Sam Ock
Lyrics to Chasing Nothing by J. Han x 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.
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.) x8
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’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.
[Hook]
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]
