George Monastiriakos Marathon Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Life's a marathon, we're not a running a sprint
But even if it was, I would win
Success is imminent, no need to rush this
And there's substance in every song that I publish
Confidence is scary, my perseverance is deadly
Stack the odds against me, please make sure they're heavy
Exceptional, but not your typical exception
Success is just another one of my obsessions
Give you my love, I want nothing in the ending
Just wanna make you better, not even taking the credit
Imagine if I took a job for 20 bucks an hour
When every day is worth at least a couple thousand dollars
Nothing you could pay is worth the joy of self-employment
Sorry for the disappointment, you simply can't afford me
Learned less from success than I did from failure
Never been in love before, but you gon' love me later [Verse 2]

Life's a marathon, we're not a running a sprint
But even if it was, I would win
Smart as can be, handsome and clean
Plus my rap is elite, I'm a marketer's dream
No victory laps, you saw Nipsey relax
Never taking my foot off the gas
Forget the upper classes or mansions in Calabasas
I'm basic, basically backpacking, back in Athens
From Cartier Boulevard, not dancing with the stars
I don't wanna party hard, or walk around with a bodyguard
Rappers blowing cheddar, brag about banging her better
Only tip I have for strippers is to get your life together
Nothing you could pay is worth the joy of self-employment
Sorry for the disappointment, you simply can't afford me
Learned less from success than I did from failure
Never been in love before, but you gon' love me later
