You Can't Hide, You Can't Run Lyrics

You can't hide, you can't run
Remember to always be true, no matter what you do
I want it, I never front it, I got my whole crew life on it
Think sharp, man, listen (you can't hide, you can't run)

Re-remember to al-always be true, no matter, no matter, no matter what you do
I want it, I never front it, I got my whole crew life on it
(Livin' thus in peace, indeed)

Any day your last day might come (so)
You can't hide, you can't run
Late night in the shadows
When the daylight comes, remember
(You can't hide, you can't run)

Man, listen any day your last day might come (so)
(You can't hide, you can't run) from the truth
We know each and every day fights come
Remember (you can't hide, you can't run)

It's like this final destination, you tryin' your best to make it
They say be patient but you know you're cheatin' and death is chasin'
Heart beatin', pulse racin' but I keep the pace
And trained to be the best and beat the best by the gracie
Grappler spectacular rapper sport of altercation
In self defense we hem 'em up, a tailored alteration
We're firestarters leavin' stages up in flames
Then again we're firefighters, sprayin' at whatever's blazin'

Crazy ways to express and pass information
Daily makin' the best of bad situations
We fight to win in whatever type of test we're facin'
Hip-Hop came while they were underestimatin'

Amazin' grace how sweet the sound, that's what I was raised in
But then the crack and gangs flourished under Ronald Reagan
Life insurance for kids, undertakers waitin'
Earth is purgatory, here between the Pearly Gates and Satan

Any day your last day might come (so)
(You can't hide, you can't run)
Late night in the shadows
When the daylight comes, remember
(You can't hide, you can't run)

Man, listen any day your last day might come (so)
(You can't hide, you can't run) from the truth
We know each and every day fights come
Remember (you can't hide, you can't run)

Yeah man, listen I stay relevant
Only person I stand in the shadow of is evidence
Last page, I left off a good look
This ain't the next chapter, it's a whole new book

About to steal the game, I'm a whole new crook
Bakin' up that fire, I'm a whole new cook
Get your whole shit took, Cali's back under the sun
So you can't hide and you can't run from the truth
Some ain't convinced so they decide to try me
Like I give a fuck, we live from India Arie
They got spies in cameras and trailers
We see 'em settin' up, though we on counter surveillance
On to me, I'm on to you, it's no mystery
Better think fast though, the future's just your history
It's where the plot thickens, regardless of wealth
'Cause the worst person to run from' yourself
Any day your last day might come (so)
You can't hide, you can't run
Late night in the shadows
When the daylight comes, remember
(You can't hide, you can't run)

Man, listen, any day your last day might come (so)
You can't hide, you can't run from the truth
We know each and every day fights come
Remember (you can't hide, you can't run)

Remember to always be true, no matter what you do
I want it, I never front it, I got my whole crew life on it
Think sharp, man, listen (you can't hide, you can't run)

Re-re-remember to always be-be true, no matter, no-no no matter no matter what you do
I want it, I never front it, I, I, I got my whole crew life on it (on it, on it, on it)
Man, listen (you can't hide, you can't run)
Re-remember to al-always be true, no-no matter, no-no matter, no-no matter what you do
Thi-think sharp, man, listen
(Livin' thus in peace, indeed)

Is that music speaking for it's self?
(You can't hide, you can't run)
Now you can't run
Not for Dilated
(Livin' thus in peace) Indeed
