I've been running 
And running 
And running
And running

But I have yet to get away
I have yet to get away 

I've been running 
And running 
And running
And running

But I have yet to get away
I have yet to get away 

Running from the world 
I been running round the map
I been running till my feet get sore

I been running from myself 
I been running from my past 
Feeling like I can't escape no more 

I been running for a while and 
I'm burning out fast 
Idk if I can take no more 

I been running all my life
Still I'm coming in last
Hold the gate save a place for me Lord 

Every morning that I wake
You gave me another day
And I plan to live it gracefully Lord

I'm a young black man
I don't really leave the house
Cause outside it ain't safe for me Lord

You know that they killing us
And it's us killing us 
How many people you gone take from me Lord

I ain't even 21 
But I'm running out of time
I ain't even had a taste of it Lord

Am I Next
Am I Next
Am I Next
What do I do when my number get picked
What do I do when the schools get closed 
And my people go broke while rich stay rich
And ones that made it outta where you from rather 
Get a new whip than give back to the kids
That type of shit can make a whole generation of black babies 
Go from books to the bricks

Self medicating with the green grams
Sticking to the page like tree sap
Hopping over gates like I ran track 
Running from the pain imma relapse 
Barely old enough but his gun blast 
Barely 16 with a brown bag
Took us outta chains put us in the trap
And we can't made it out so we run laps 

I've been running 
And running 
And running
And running

But I have yet to get away
I have yet to get away 

I've been running 
And running 
And running
And running

But I have yet to get away
I have yet to get away
