[Intro: Dave Chappelle & Killer Mike]
Mike, the one thing about being a n***a in America, it's like storming the beach in Normandy
A guy gets popped, another guy goes, another guy falls
You just gotta keep going, gotta keep storming that beach, n***a, you gotta keep runnin’
Ain't no rhyme or reason why it's not you on the ground, but as long as it’s not, you better keep your feet underneath you
Keep 'em movin'
Ain't no time to be scared
But even if you are, what fuckin' different does it make?
Run, n***a, keep going
You're just as heroic as those people that stormed the beach
So what's the excuse? I'm not good enough, I did something wrong, I’m not perfect
Nobody asked anyone to be perfect, we just asking people to be honest
You’re a leader, lead
Don't be afraid, we got your back like the motherfuckin’ Verizon man
Run
God don't like ugly, I ain't one to judge
Whole, whole lot of gold Cubans, weigh a ton
Say I kept it solid when it's all said and done

[Chorus: Killer Mike]
All I know is keep goin’, run, better run (Run)
Mama told me, "Never fold, run, better run" (Run)
Like Jenny told Forrest Gump, "Run, better run" (Run)
The race for freedom ain't won, run, better run

[Verse 1: Killer Mike]
Had to make it out the red clay, run, better run
The west side of Atlanta, yeah, that's where I'm from (Flatland)
Outside, I was hands on like a glove (Like Batman)
Movin' like my n***a N.O.R.E., eatin' on the run (Run)
Still an underground king and that's word to Bun (Bun)
Locked in like Rice Street without a bond (Bond)
I was playin' with the powder way before LeBron (LeBron)
My wife was born a redhead, but now she a blonde (Blonde)
Politicians lie and your favorite rapper is a con (Con)
Don't check for me without a check for me, that's a hun' (Bluest)
Only L's I wear is followed by Vuitton (Louis)
Get money and the power, teach 'em while they're young
Hmm, blessed to make it out the slums, run, better run (Run)
[Chorus: Killer Mike]
All I know is keep goin', run, better run (Run)
Mama told me, "Never fold, run, better run" (Run)
Like Jenny told Forrest Gump, "Run, better run" (Run)
The race to freedom ain't won, run, better run

[Refrain: Killer Mike with Young Thug & Young Thug]
This for the ones that never won (Won)
Hurt feelin' goin' numb (Numb)
Beat the odds like a drum (Drum)
Run, run, better run (Run, take off)
Run, run, better run (Run, take off)
Run, run, better run

[Verse 2: Young Thug]
I put some brand new Margiela on my bitch, thinkin' the same, but ain't bankin' the same
I put some brand new Margiela on my bitch, thinkin' the same, but ain't bankin' the same
I put a brand new fluoresce on her wrist, I bought that bitch a new Patek, plain Jane
This a bigger boat, we ain't sinkin' the same
This a PJ, we are not on the same plane
Yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah), goddamn
Yellow diamonds like the sun (Yeah)
And I keep it one-of-one (Yeah)
Run (Take off)
Trappin' out, I'm mama's son
Now a n***a on that run
Now a n***a shootin' fun (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I keep this shit on a tightrope (Yeah)
On a PJ with no night clothes (Night clothes)
We just had fucked, why it's tight though? (Why?)
Why is it tight? I signed the check like a typo (Yeah)
Rescue the trenches, all of the kiddies, we gon' escape on a yacht boat (Yeah)
We gainin' weight like Big Pun, run, n***a, run
Installin' this shit in my son, run, n***a, run
Green interior lawn, run, n***a, run
Dr. Martin boots when I come, run, n***a, run
[Chorus: Killer Mike with Young Thug & Young Thug]
All I know is keep goin', run, better run (Run, run)
Mama told me, "Never fold, run, better run" (Run, run)
Like Jenny told Forrest Gump, run, better run (Run, run)
The race to freedom ain't won, run, better run

[Refrain: Killer Mike & Young Thug]
This for the ones that never won (Won)
Hurt feelin' goin' numb (Numb)
Beat the odds like a drum (Drum)
Run, run, better run (Run, take off)
Run, run, better run (Run, take off)
Run, run, better run
