RUNNIN’
[Verse 1]
I'm still runnin'
Runnin' out of time
Ultimatums comin' and they runnin' through my mind
I'ma be fine, it could get worse
Lies I told myself so much, it was rehearsed
Sitting in a hearse, killing my pride
Them throwing shade only dimming my shine
Counting the ways my life never been mine
In a few days, my soul finna decline
I just keep rhymin'
Keep in step with the timing
Haven't been dressed for this climate
It's hot, it's cold where I've been
Civil talks become violent
[Bridge]
You can't tell me nothing
I haven't heard before
I just keep on running
Past the waves on the shore
It's all that and more
[Chorus]
Keep on runnin'
Got to keep on runnin'
Day might not be sunny
Shade from the stormcloud cover
Lace your feet up and keep runnin'
[Post-Chorus]
You know where I been, not where I'm going
Going, no
On the track or the treadmill, I'm still showing up
Don't load me up no more
[Verse 2]
Pardon me if I come off cold
Baggage I been dragging is starting to get old
Not an origami swan, I could never fold
You getting mad now that I'm getting bold
Runnin' down the block, beating personal records
But personally feel my joy coming second
In five seconds, I could run hundred yards
All from the ankle weights holding me down
Chip on my shoulder, I brush it off
Still in the trench like soldiers in a war
Anxieties, I cast 'em to the Lord
Empirically, I'm talking to a wall
Brick wallin', my facial expression crestfallen
Got demons and they still callin'
Still starvin', we don't speak often, I'm off them
But I gotta keep runnin', right?
Last stretch 'til I stretch out my life
And I'm blessed, ran through pain and strife
But I'm stressed, I don't roll the dice
It's no overnight, ain't no overtime
It's just me and mine, 'til the end comes
In the meantime, runnin' up my income
'Til I sprint through the gates of His kingdom
[Chorus]
Keep on runnin'
Got to keep on runnin'
Day might not be sunny
Shade from the stormcloud cover
Lace your feet up and keep runnin'
[Post-Chorus]
You know where I been, not where I'm going
Going, no
On the track or the treadmill, I'm still showing up
Don't load me up no more
I'm still runnin'
Runnin' out of time
Ultimatums comin' and they runnin' through my mind
I'ma be fine, it could get worse
Lies I told myself so much, it was rehearsed
Sitting in a hearse, killing my pride
Them throwing shade only dimming my shine
Counting the ways my life never been mine
In a few days, my soul finna decline

Keep in step with the timing
Haven't been dressed for this climate
