Runnin'

[00:01.22] Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
[00:03.02] Uh-huh, check it out, check it out
[00:06.25] One-two, one-two, one-two, one-two, one two
[00:08.42] Check the sound, check the sound, check the sound, yeah
[00:10.76] One-two, one-two, one-two, one-two, one two
[00:13.40] Check the sound, check the sound, check the sound yeah
[00:16.09] One-two, one-two, one-two, one-two, one two
[00:18.65] Check the sound, check the sound, check the sound, yeah
[00:20.98] One-two, one-two, one-two, one-two, one two
[00:24.79] Can't keep runnin' away
[00:29.75] Can't keep runnin' away
[00:34.95] Can't keep runnin' away
[00:40.34] Can't keep runnin' away
[00:45.34] I must admit on some occasions
[00:46.94] I went out like a punk and a chump
[00:48.78] Or a sucka or something to that effect
[00:50.64] Respect I used to never get
[00:52.51] 'Cause all I got was upset
[00:53.77] When niggas used to be like
[00:54.72] (What's up, fool? Nigga, what's up?)
[00:55.52] And tried to sweat a nigga like the Lip
[00:57.44] For no reason at all I can recall n- throwing C's in my face
[01:00.86] Down the hall I'm kickin' it in the back of the school eating chicken at three
[01:03.97] Wondering, "Why is everybody always pickin' on me?
[01:06.50] I tried to talk and tell 'em, "Chill, I did nothin' to deserve this"
[01:09.38] But when it didn't work, I wasn't scared, just real nervous and unprepared
[01:12.92] To deal with scrappin' no doubt
[01:14.42] My pappy never told me how to knock a ni gga out
[01:16.68] But now in '95, I must survive as a man on my own
[01:19.78] Fuck around with Fatlip, yes, ya get blown
[01:22.40] I'm not tryin' to show no macho is shown
[01:24.20] But when it's on, when it's on, then it's on
[01:25.96] Can't keep runnin' away
[01:28.66]
[01:31.13] Can't keep runnin' away
[01:36.16] Can't keep runnin' away
[01:41.42] Can't keep runnin' away
[01:48.55] One, two
[01:49.75] So listen here, come on
[01:53.08] There comes a time in every man's life
[01:54.97] When he's gotta handle shit up on his own
[01:57.56] Can't depend on friends to help you in a squeeze
[02:00.37] Please, they got problems of their own
[02:02.36] Down for the count on seven chicken, shit don't get to heaven
[02:05.32] 'Til they faced these fears in these fear zones
[02:07.71] Used to get jacked back up in high school, I played it cool
[02:10.35] Just so some real shit won't get full blown bein' where I'm from
[02:14.14] They let the smoke come quicker than an evil redneck
[02:16.48] Could lynch a helpless colored figure and
[02:18.45] As a victim I invented low-key
[02:20.69] 'Til the keyhole itself got lower than me
[02:23.02] So I stood up and let my free form form free
[02:25.88] Said I'm gonna get some before they knockin' out me
[02:28.23] I don't sweat it, I let the bullshit blow in the breeze
[02:31.28] In other words, just debris
[02:32.35] Can't keep runnin' away
[02:35.00]
[02:37.53] Can't keep runnin' away
[02:42.57] Can't keep runnin' away
[02:47.77] Can't keep runnin' away
[02:52.95]
[03:02.65] It's 1995
[03:04.36] And now that I'm older, stress weighs on my shoulders
[03:06.86] Heavy as boulders, but I told y'all
[03:09.05] Until the day that I die I still
[03:11.36] Will be a soldier and that's all I told ya
[03:13.82] And that's all I showed ya
[03:15.09] And that's all I sold ya
[03:15.43] And all this calamity is rippin' my sanity
[03:17.75] Can it be (that I'm a celebrity who's on the brink of insanity?)
[03:22.94] Now don't be wishin' of switchin' any positions with me
[03:25.78] 'Cause when you in my position, it ain't never easy
[03:28.23] To do any type of maintainin'
[03:30.42] 'Cause all this gamin' and famin' from entertainin'
[03:33.14] Is hella strainin' (to the brain and)
[03:35.40] But I can't keep runnin' I just gotta keep keen and cunnin'
[03:38.68] Can't keep runnin' away
[03:43.97] Can't keep runnin' away
[03:48.82] Can't keep runnin' away
