[Verse 1]
Yeah..
Zane Smith
It was 1994
Butt naked I was born in a world full of sin
Murderous thieves, jezebels, and crooked men
Living life knowing someday it's gonna end
Concerned with the when
Concerned with the how
Maybe now
Living everyday like it's my last
Vivid memories reliving visions of my past
Focused on the future
Ain't no looking back, perhaps
What's my problem?
Got a lot of em' and I just can't solve em'
I don't wanna die alone
I don't wanna get old
And I know that the world is so cold
Every day living turn the warmest heart cold
There is goes, the world keeps spinning
After our life has ended
I admit it, ain't a saint, I'm a sinner
Lusting after these women
Prescription for my addiction
All I need in my life is forty acres
And some chickens
A nice size house
And some thick black women
I been hoping, I been wishing
That the world worked in my best interest
Why? Who am I?
I'm just another guy
Just another man
And the world could give a damn
My soul could use a cleanse
Make ammends for my sins
In the end, this world makes us ALL corrupt
Life is hard, I feel like giving up
Man, I feel like giving up
[Hook]
Man I been running
Running from my problems
Only Lord knows how I'm gone solve em'
(3x)
Man I been runnin'
Runnin' (6x)
Man I been runnin'
Runnin' (6x)
[Verse 2]
These fools wanna be rich
Zane Smith wanna be wealthy
My fair share or helping
Lord help me
I'm a glutton not a killer
But don't test me
Let the ladies know that
That makeup don't impress me
Take a look at me
And you'll see I ain't perfect
Go ahead and scratch the surface
It's layers to the Earth
Like it's layers to the people
I might not be an Angel
But I know I ain't a Demon
They believing I'm the man
No I'm not, yes I am
Here we go again
These internal battles
Gotta find a path for my travels
It's better this way
But I'll find out at the end of the day
Why that woman play with my emotions?
I love you girl
Still waiting on you to notice
Been working my hocus pocus
Don't you fly around
When I'm buzzing like a locust
All of these women models
None of these women cook or read a book
They too focused on they looks
These hoes don't want love
These hoes wanna be saved
I ain't Superman
Girl I ain't got a cape
Escape reality
That seems to be the only time
When my mind can get some peace
Twenty-two years and I'm in too deep
Calling on your name
Lord, Lord please help me
[Hook]
Man I been running
Running from my problems

[Verse 3]
Aw man, my life sucks
If really such a thing, I would have no luck
Walking round the world
With my middle fingers up
Might not say a word
But imma shoot the bird
I ain't scurred of the consequence
Still ain't got a pot to piss
Man, I never asked for this position
Appreciate what's been given
Don't always like living
What's my religion?
Oh Lord!
Whatcha say it for?
Who ya calling on?
Need help?
Maybe more?
Or a phrase?
In a phase where I don't even care
Heaven or a Hell
Only time will tell
Stuck in a cycle
Living for the weekend
Tryna get our freak in
Time not thinking
Hit over the head like a Dodo bird
Yeah I got the word
Ain't a pastor or a deacon
I be preaching, but don't follow
Many grace the crowd, but they words hollow
I'm dumb, you're blind
Who am I to tell you how to live?
Pride is a sin, tryna push it to the side
Heard that trash talking, but imma let it slide
Asking why!
Sometimes I read
Sometimes I won't
Sometimes I care
Sometimes I don't
Where my Bible?
Tunnel vision got us focused on survival
ALL humans are WEAK!
I have NO idols!
