[Intro: Jim Jones, Sister Gertrude Morgan]
I got a new world in my view
Lord, my journey, I pursue
I said, I'm runnin', runnin' for the city
I got the new world in my view (I know where he was goin' with this)
I got the new world in my view
Oh, my journey, I pursue (You know how we play)
Lord, I'm runnin', runnin' for the city
I got the new world in my view

[Verse 1: Jim Jones]
Money come with problems, but it's gettin' crucial
'Cause n***as startin' problems, they turn around and sue me (That's sucker shit)
So if 8th Mile is like 7th Ave (Crazy)
Where n***as playin' foul just to get some petty cash
Two-hund'-eight-thou' just to press the gas
Lawyers on speed dial 'cause I'm livin' very fast
40 in my boxers (Check), 40 G watches (Mean)
Foreign V topless (Word), of course she gon' top us
Sour weed coppers (Right), the Law proceed to knock us (Fuck 'em)
She had a fat ass, but bought the double d knockers (Get 'em)
He see the red light way before he see the chopper
He gon' need a doctor? Nah, he gon' need a sermon

[Chorus: David Dallas]
Get it while I'm livin', all I ever hear's the clock
Tick, tick, tickin', so I'm 'bout my business
And I'm runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' with it now
They don’t wanna give it up, we gon' make it ours
Get it while I'm livin', all I ever hear's the clock
Tick, tick, tickin', so I'm 'bout my business
And I'm runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' with it now
They don’t wanna give it up, we gon' make it ours
[Verse 2: David Dallas]
They ain't got no
Muscle, no hustle, no backbone, I stand alone
Not trippin', just sayin', I'm different, ain't hangin' onto the
Coattails of the next man, passport in my left hand
Thinkin' that you got next, heck, hope you ain't holdin' your breath, man
'Cause I'm out here, I'm hungry, I don't play around, trust me
Ain't had this much drive since my Honda Civic got rusty
And my girl said that she loved me, it's funny, just thinkin' back
Study hard for that nine-to-five, like I thought I'd actually good with that
I was dreamin', still dreamin', spotlight on me like Willie Beaman
Still performin' like Al Pacino, Instagrammin' tuxedos
With my peoples, we growin' up, still don't seem like we slowin' up
Tint Squad, we throwin' up every time that we showin' up

[Chorus: David Dallas]
Get it while I'm livin', all I ever hear's the clock
Tick, tick, tickin', so I'm 'bout my business
And I'm runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' with it now
They don’t wanna give it up, we gon' make it ours
Get it while I'm livin', all I ever hear's the clock
Tick, tick, tickin', so I'm 'bout my business
And I'm runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' with it now
They don’t wanna give it up, we gon' make it ours

[Bridge: David Dallas]
I'm on a chase
Won't wait another day
Plans falling into place
And we ain't got much to lose
I'm on a chase
Won't wait another day
Plans falling into place
And we ain't got much to lose
[Chorus: David Dallas]
Get it while I'm livin', all I ever hear's the clock
Tick, tick, tickin', so I'm 'bout my business
And I'm runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' with it now
They don’t wanna give it up, we gon' make it ours
Get it while I'm livin', all I ever hear's the clock
Tick, tick, tickin', so I'm 'bout my business
And I'm runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' with it now
They don’t wanna give it up, we gon' make it ours
