Shoes For Running |
Shoes for running, and I’ll race ya |
Sun is coming, it’ll chase ya |
Through this dead beat town |
Through this dead beat town |
The end is coming, I would race ya |
But there’s no running, it’ll chase ya |
Death will hunt you down |
Death will hunt you down |
What about the people that’s barefoot |
With no shoes for running when the sun come up? |
Hey one percenters, the 99 say what you gonna do for us? |
We’ll run up in your house like the first runner up |
Be the first one to buck and the last one to get laid down, stay down |
And now we’re looking at the top of the pile |
Or the king of the mountain gonna knock him off |
Revolt, but y’all niggas here too soft |
Bubblegum, just popping off |
At the mouth like the nigga got all the hoes |
Got all the dough and all the women |
Boy, what you gon' do in the penitentiary |
Got a lot of money, can’t take it with me |
I can’t take it with me, I wish they could send me |
To the moon and back with a cure for cancer |
And save the lives of my great grandmama and my great grandaddy |
Now that’s the answer to the question |
But they make money of the medicine |
Leaving us all stuck in elections |
With no progressions, just recessions |
Just as I expected, life gets deadly |
It’s funny how the beloved become the beheaded |
The truth can be independent or the direction that you stretch it |
So my niggas will draw when shit gets sketchy |
That’s a masterpiece, a work of art |
A gallery, not photoshop |
Pictures say a million words, so I just let my photos talk |
Even in your local talk, niggas say you know he boss |
Everytime my name is brought up better know it’s mogul talk |
That’s why she give me geek 'till her shins weak |
I’m blazing everyday, you can call that demp week |
You’re running from your life that you didn’t see |
That’s like playing hide and seek with the Grim Reaper |
You can run, but you can’t hide |
Spent your whole life trying to escape |
When everybody stayed |
Getting tired of living in a lie |
Different nights, same town |
Say goodbyes, but we tried |
Cause we know there’s no getting out |
And when the pawns are playing themselves |
I just lay and wait and straighten myself |
Let them war out till they wear themselves out to the rhythm sells out |
Bring them back to life, give them mouth to mouth |
You can fight and try to get away |
But there’s nowhere to run and hide to |
You better know that there will come a day |
Eventually it’s gonna find you |
