Runnin'
Lyrics
Runnin' I ain't running, I ain't running away
Runnin' I ain't running, I ain't running away
Runnin' I ain't running, I ain't running away
Runnin' I ain't running away
'Cause I'm so tired of running
That I've worn my soles out,
To the point that my toes is out,
To the point that I can't look back and even if I did
Couldn't see where I started out,
Can't see home for miles,
Lost like another orphan child,
I'm only grinning cause I'm supposed to smile,
So I do it for the ones that are down and out
Proud one of theirs is gonna be a spokesman now,
But I'm still running, running, and I don't know where,
All I got to my name is one pair, of laced up chucks,
Five bucks, and a chip on my shoulder that's so big that I cannot bare,
I done lost my friends, family, and home for this,
And for that I have lost my mind,
Kept my faith, lost my direction
I'm just praying that I haven't lost my time, go!
I keep my head up, with my feet on the ground,
From the bottom so up is the only place that I'm going,
Ready to face all that's in front of me now,
'Cause I'm so tired of runnin'
I'm walking through the fire,
'Cause there is no way around,
Moving in the same direction wherever the wind is blowing
Ready to face all that's in front of me now,
'Cause I'm so tired or running
Runnin' I ain't running, I ain't running away
Runnin' I ain't running, I ain't running away
Runnin' I ain't running, I ain't running away
Runnin' I ain't running away
'Cause I'm so tired of running
I'm so tired of struggling,
I'm so tired of hustling,
I can feel my heart filled with hate,
I'm so tired of loving,
I was supposed to be great,
I'm so tired of ducking,
Tired of coming home from my job being fired from nothing,
And shit I'm tired, from the nights a motherfucker took that ride,
To make that dream come alive,
Then wake up in the morning to a 9 to 5,
But I gotta do it if I wanna survive,
Because in the city where I'm from it's Either do or die,
So choose it wise because you could lose it in the blink of an eye
But even in the darkest times it's proven I
I keep my head up, with my feet on the ground,
From the bottom so up is the only place that I'm going,
Ready to face all that's in front of me now,
'Cause I'm so tired of runnin'
I'm walking through the fire,
'Cause there is no way around,
Moving in the same direction wherever the wind is blowing
Ready to face all that's in front of me now,
'Cause I'm so tired or running
Runnin' I ain't running, I ain't running away
Runnin' I ain't running, I ain't running away
Runnin' I ain't running, I ain't running away
Runnin' I ain't running away
'Cause I'm so tired of running
