[Verse]
Three in the mornin', I tossed and turned in the bed
Body yearnin' for sleep, my mind yearnin' for bread
Used to write rhymes durin' class, should've been learnin' instead
If I applied myself, I'd probably be further ahead, shit
Ten a hour manual labour on a day-to-day
My partner sit behind a desk and make eighty K
Mind over muscle in this world, I guess it's safe say
The better the education, the better rate of pay
Who gon' co-sign when you apply for a loan?
If you were thrown to the wolvеs and had to survive on your own
Hey, look, my mind often roam, so pardon mе if I drift
Partially confident, the other part of me's like, "What if?"
What if no one relates to the story I'm here to tell you
The greatest barriers to success is the fear of failure
But I guess we all got our inner demons that we joust with
But that's just human nature, sometimes we all doubt shit
And n***as' gon' hate, but just know that that ain't 'bout shit
'Cause they ain't walk in your shoes, let alone wear your outfit
The shit that kills me when a n***a think he got it rough
Could be worse off, but feel like what he got is not enough
Just talkin' 'bout myself in third person
The Sun peeked in through my blind, I hear birds chirpin'
I had to work to see them same n***as curb servin'
Might just contribute to they cause, like how they herb burnin'
'Cause hell, that n***a might got kids to feed
Money I spent might put a gift under that Christmas tree
Ayy, this is me sharin' my point of view
Analytics after a joint or two
You say you feel misunderstood, my n***a, join the crew
What am I runnin' from? Where am I runnin' too?
Runnin' from somethin' old in search of somethin' new
Worn soul in a not so worn runnin' shoe
On a road to riches, how much can one accrue, runnin'?
[Interlude]
Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin' (Can't keep runnin' away)
Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin' (Can't keep runnin' away)
Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin' (Can't keep runnin' away)
Runnin', runnin', runnin', run, runnin'
