RUN Lyrics

[00:08.72] Mike, the one thing about being a nigga in America
[00:12.67] It's like storming the beach in Normandy
[00:16.05] A guy gets popped, another guy goes, another guy falls
[00:20.06] You just gotta keep going
[00:21.92] Gotta keep storming that beach, nigga
[00:23.45] You gotta keep runnin'
[00:25.83] Ain't no rhyme or reason why it's not you on the ground, but as long as it's not
[00:30.82] You better keep your feet underneath you
[00:33.75] Keep 'em movin'
[00:37.30] Ain't no time to be scared
[00:39.10] But even if you are, what fuckin' different does it make? Run nigga, keep going
[00:44.61] You're just as heroic as those people that stormed the beach
[00:49.72] So what's the excuse, I'm not good enough?
[00:52.13] I did something wrong, I'm not perfect
[00:54.70] Nobody asked anyone to be perfect
[00:57.58] We just asking people to be honest
[01:00.97] You're a leader, lead, don't be afraid
[01:06.55] We got your back like the motherfuckin' Verizon man
[01:09.70] Run
[01:10.43] God don't like ugly, I ain't one to judge
[01:14.44] Whole, whole lot of gold cubans weigh a ton
[01:18.77] Say I kept it solid when it's all said and done
[01:22.89] All I know is keep goin', run, better run (run, run)
[01:26.98] Mama told me, "Never fold, run, better run" (run, run)
[01:30.50] Like Jenny told Forrest Gump, "Run, better run" (run, run)
[01:34.69] The race for freedom ain't won, run, better run (run, run)
[01:38.56] Had to make it out the red clay, run, better run (better run)
[01:42.84] The west side of Atlanta, yeah, that where I'm from (Flatland)
[01:47.09] Outside, I was hands on like a glove (like Batman)
[01:51.09] Movin' like my nigga N.O.R.E., eatin' on the run (run)
[01:55.13] Still an underground king and that's word to Bun (Bun)
[01:59.20] Locked in like Rice Street without a bond (bond)
[02:03.26] I was playin' with the powder way before LeBron (LeBron)
[02:07.49] My wife was born a redhead, but now she a blonde (blonde)
[02:11.38] Politicians lie and your favorite rapper is a con' (con')
[02:15.29] Don't check for me without a check for me, that's a hund' (bluest)
[02:19.74] Only Ls I wear is followed by Vuitton (Louis)
[02:23.80] Get money and the power, teach 'em while they're young
[02:27.32] Hmm, blessed to make it out the slums, run, nigga, run (run)
[02:31.59] All I know is keep goin', run, better run (run, run)
[02:35.71] Mama told me, "Never fold, run, better run" (run, run)
[02:39.52] Like Jenny told Forrest Gump, "Run, better run" (run, run)
[02:43.70] The race to freedom ain't won, run, better run (run, run)
[02:46.93] This for the ones that never won (won)
[02:49.25] Hurt feelin' goin' numb (numb)
[02:51.00] Beat the odds like a drum (drum)
[02:53.02] Run, run, run, gotta run (take off)
[02:57.12] Run, run, better run (run) (take off)
[03:01.45] Run, run, better run
[03:02.52] I put some brand new Margiela on my bitch
[03:04.36] Thinkin' the same, but ain't bankin' the same
[03:06.30] I put some brand new Margiela on my bitch
[03:08.59] Thinkin' the same, but ain't bankin' the same
[03:10.55] I put a brand new fluoresce on her wrist
[03:12.68] I bought that bitch a new Patek, plain Jane
[03:14.69] This a bigger boat, we ain't sinkin' the same
[03:16.65] This a PJ, we are not on the same plane (plane, plane)
[03:20.24] Yeah (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah) (goddamn)
[03:23.14] Yellow diamonds like the sun (yeah)
[03:24.54] And I keep it one-oh-one (yeah)

[03:43.56] Why is you tight?
[03:45.07] I signed the check like a typo (yeah)
[03:47.09] Rescue the trenches, all of the kiddies
[03:49.18] We gon' and escape on a yacht boat (yeah, ooh-ooh)
[03:53.32] We gainin' weight like Big Pun, run, nigga, run
[03:57.02] Installin' this shit in my son, run, nigga, run
[04:01.18] Green interior, lawn, run, nigga, run
[04:05.18] Dr. Martin boots when I come, run, nigga, run
[04:09.30] All I know is keep goin', run, better run (run, run)
[04:13.50] Mama told me, "Never fold, run, better run" (run, run)
