Price began to expand into hip-hop music and rap in the late 2010s. His series-turned-EP Spin the Globe, in which he would spin a globe and collaborate with an artist from whichever country his finger landed on, first went viral in 2022. After collaborating with seven artists from countries such as Zambia, South Africa and India, he released Spin the Globe on January 27, 2023. As of February 2024, Spin the Globe has over 400 million streams on Spotify. A sequel, Spin the Globe 2 was released on February 23, 2024, using the same concept.
In 2023, his music received over a billion streams across multiple streaming platforms, including over 650 million on Spotify.
Price has recorded songs with numerous artists, such as bbno$, Hoodie Allen, Armani White, and Idris Elba.

Marathon
Connor Price Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This a marathon it's not a hundred meters, yeah
Play my cards right, I ain't bluffing either, yeah
Always wear a smile like I'm Justin Bieber
Barry Bonds with the hits, I ain't ever had to touch a needle, woah
But I move the needle, woah
If I do not like the song then I don't do the feature, no
Levitating on the beat I call that Dua Lipa, woah
Yeah
Pick up the pace
I keep it going no foot on the brake
Ain't no one get in my lane
Just gimme the time and gimme the place
Taking a name and no one can stop me
I ain't afraid, I'm going in Rocky
And it's a shame they all wanna copy
But ain't no way that none can top me, look
This a marathon it's not 100 meters
Play my cards right I ain't bluffing either
Always wear a smile like I'm Justin Bieber
I might be here for a while had to run the meter
Ay, I could count the people that I trust on like one hand
Always throwing shade so ain't no way I get a suntan
This is not no movie shooting shots like it's Sundance
But nothing come through to me the gun jammed I guess, wait woah
I'm the one, take notes
Sacrifice supposed to hurt just do the work, lay low
Warming up, J Cole
Bout to blow, Waco
I've been serving sentences behind the bars, case closed
And I don't wait for what the verdict is
I ain't worrying, even if I fail nothings permanent
So let me spell this out for you if you ain't sure of it
Gotta turn a L into earning that's what learning is
This a marathon it's not 100 meters
Play my cards right I ain't bluffing either
Always wear a smile like I'm Justin Bieber
I might be here for a while had to run the meter
This a marathon it's not 100 meters
Play my cards right I ain't bluffing either
Always wear a smile like I'm Justin Bieber
4Korners with the hits I ain't ever had to
In "Marathon" by Connor Price, the singer speaks about his dedication to his work and the hardships that come with it. He compares his approach to life to a marathon, not something that can be accomplished in a quick sprint. He mentions playing his cards right, not bluffing as he leads a life full of hard work and determination. Price also references baseball player, Barry Bonds' success without ever needing to use steroids to enhance his performance. He speaks about being the driving force behind music collaborations, he levitates on the beat and is known for keeping his circle tight. Price is aware of his talent and is confident that no one can match his abilities.
Price also talks about his past experiences, his trust issues and the difficulties he has faced in life.

Price emphasizes the importance of sacrifice and hard work and tells listeners that he is here to stay for a while because he had to "run the meter."
In conclusion, "Marathon" is an uplifting song about determination, hard work, and confidence. It conveys the message that life is not a sprint, instead, it is a marathon, where we must keep pushing forward despite the obstacles we face.

@skylerkelsey3684
That’s what I love about Connor’s songs, he writes smart lyrics and puts a fire beat behind them
@bluvibesmusic
Wordplay is a fail I understand what he went for but it doesn't make sense
@Spheriment
@@bluvibesmusic u just hating tbh i saw ur other comment on buddy
@bluvibesmusic
@@Spheriment ok and? I mean he makes good music but some of his bars don't work and he literally uses the same flow on every beat..... Sure I'm hating but I won't lie he has his own sound even if he just recycles his flow process
@fullblastrecognize8480
@@bluvibesmusic What? Am black and been listening to hiphop for decades. This white boy is certified rapper...he is not just better than most,.he is beyond, in a class of his own. He does not recycle his flow, he is very versatile and changes pace and flow in a way to suggest he is master in this game. The line "change L into earning, thats what learning is", thats an eternal line from a beat-making-rapper-poet. You dont understand it coz you are lazy and have ZERO taste.
Conner, you the next big thing.
