[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
