I'm running, running, running, running I gotta keep going 'cause I know that something's coming, so I I'm running, running, running, running I gotta keep going 'cause I know that something's coming But when I'm tryna walk, they telling me I should crawl Before I can ever jump, they planning on me to fall, so I'm (So I'm) I'm running, running, running, running I gotta keep going 'cause I know that something's coming, so I It's middle school, rocking braces and less cool Awkwardly standing out but still fitting in with my dudes I'm rocking them hand-me-downs while they copping the latest shoes Just a boy that ran with the giants like I'm training with Victor Cruz, I'm Avoiding them pitfalls, quick lick calls You know those flip bricks quick, get lit calls? Yeah My older cousins was tussling in that struggle They stayed moving that weight, guess that's getting it off the muscle See, some see 'em as clowns from all the things they would juggle Like murder, prison, and hurting the woman who truly love you, so Auntie Jann, I understand you had a plan Never thought you see your kids in cuffs and thrown in back of vans Life give high demands, but you paid 'em with them tears Even though it can't reverse the pain you suffered through them years You spent your whole life just to show 'em the ropes Now they strung up in them ropes and in prisons they whole life, man But my advantage, took them lessons then I learned Adolescent, I'm progressing with no pressing for concern Yeah And my confession that I earned How I lived in that fire and was blessed to not get burned But whom much is given, much is asked in return And from my peer's position, a better life I would yearn You know better, do better Broke the seal off what I address while forming this open letter And cc my brother's son and cc my sister's daughter And cc to anybody living they life as a martyr This dedicated to Trey, I wish I would've called ya Tell ya put them packs down, there's a way to hustle smarter But I know I missed my chance, now only God got 'em 'Cause the week he planned to quit was the week somebody shot him I'm running, I'm running, running, running I can never sit still, if I do then nothing's coming This still life, still smoking, still drinking Still staying alive Still taking care of children or whatever Still strapped We just still, we just still Ah, ah, ah, yeah Ah, ah, now bounce (Now bounce) Ah, ah, na, yeah Ah, ah, now bounce (Now bounce) Ah, ah, ah, yeah Ah, ah, now bounce (Now bounce) Look, aye, aye Fast forward to the days of the Lakeland High Shouts out to the class of '07, show love To this man that you see here now Working hard to be the next dude to blow, oh reverend At the time, was confined to them hoop dreams Within them lines, I would grind just to prove things Balling was a new scheme, it was a drug, can't lie Game sold me things that the money can't buy Late nights at Beefs, as I reflect on goals that I've reached My homie Zack told me, ain't nobody can hold me "You the man in the city as we speak Believe me you the one, I ain't talking Matrix Stripes you done earned, I ain't talking Asics No matter where you run, ain't no way to escape it" So no pacing, I'm chasing, and racing to make it, I Elevated to a level celebrated, my endeavors graduated to a point And selfish pride infiltrated what my elders demonstrated Now my eyes insinuating what I want What I want, want, to be the one Running for us all when it's all said and done Living life fast, knowing danger as I come Pedal to the metal like O.J. on the run, hold that Man, what I'm becoming The allure of this world's so becoming Got the devil in my ear saying, "Look at all this here" And I'm on board like I'm Andre Drummond Vanity and greed, vandalizing my creed Dodged it all before, but now it's all I see Now I feel consumed, so I'm steady tryna flee But who I run from when it's all in me In the mirror tryna find myself, I was lost, had to remind myself It don't matter if I'm broke with no paddle left to float All the money in the world couldn't buy my wealth And so I'm better now And that's word to Ms. Joyce, I could never let her down She telling me to go for it In a dope pair of Nikes like go Forrest And I'm running Running, running, running, running Running, running, running, running I swear I say a oath for it And my dreams too far, never coast for it So I'm running Running, running, running, running Running, running, running, running She telling me to go for it In a dope pair of Nikes like go Forrest And I'm running
