| Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
|
| Uh huh, Check it out, check it out
|
| One-two one-two one-two one-two one two
|
| Check the sound, check the sound, check the sound yeah
|
| One-two one-two one-two one-two one two
|
| Check the sound, check the sound, check the sound yeah
|
| One-two one-two one-two one-two one two
|
| Check the sound, check the sound, check the sound yeah
|
| One-two one-two one-two one-two one two
|
| Can’t keep running away
|
| Can’t keep running away
|
| Can’t keep running away
|
| Can’t keep running away
|
| I must admit on some occasions
|
| I went out like a punk and a chump
|
| Or a sucka or something to that effect
|
| Respect I used to never get
|
| Cause all I got was upset
|
| When niggas used to be like
|
| («What's up, fool?! Nigga, what’s up?!»)
|
| And tried to sweat a nigga like the Lip
|
| For no reason at all I can recall niggas throwing Cs in my face
|
| Down the hall I’m kickin' it in the back of the school eating chicken at three
|
| Wondering, «Why is everybody always pickin' on me?
|
| I tried to talk and tell them, chill, I did nothin' to deserve this
|
| But when it didn’t work, I wasn’t scared, just real nervous and unprepared
|
| To deal with scrappin' no doubt
|
| My pappy never told me how to knock a nigga out
|
| But now in '95 I must survive as a man on my own
|
| Fuck around with Fatlip, yes, ya get blown
|
| I’m not tryin' to show, no macho is shown
|
| But when it’s on, if it’s on, then it’s on
|
| Can’t keep running away
|
| Can’t keep running away
|
| Can’t keep running away
|
| Can’t keep running away
|
| One, two… so listen here…
|
| There comes a time in every man’s life
|
| When he’s gotta handle shit up on his own
|
| Can’t depend on friends to help you in a squeeze
|
| Please, they got problems of their own
|
| Down for the count on seven chickenshits don’t get to heaven
|
| Til they faced these fears in these fear zones
|
| Used to get jacked back up in high school, I played it cool
|
| Just so some real shit won’t get full blown bein' where I’m from
|
| They let the smoke come quicker than an evil redneck
|
| Could lynch a helpless colored figure and
|
| As a victim I invented low-key
|
| Till the keyhole itself got lower than me
|
| So I stood up and let my free form form free
|
| Said I’m gonna get some before they knockin' out me
|
| I don’t sweat it, I let the bullshit blow in the breeze
|
| In other words, just debris
|
| Can’t keep running away
|
| Can’t keep running away
|
| Can’t keep running away
|
| Can’t keep running away
|
| It’s 1995
|
| And now that I’m older, stress weighs on my shoulders
|
| Heavy as boulders, but I told y’all
|
| Until the day that I die I still
|
| Will be a soldier and that’s all I told ya
|
| And that’s all I showed ya
|
| And that’s all I sold ya
|
| And all this calamity is rippin' my sanity
|
| Can it be (that I’m a celebrity
|
| Who’s on the brink of insanity?)
|
| Now don’t be wishin' of switchin' any positions with me
|
| Cause when you in my position, it ain’t never easy
|
| To do any type of maintainin'
|
| Cause all this gamin' and famin' from entertainin'
|
| Is hella strainin' (to the brain and)
|
| But I can’t keep runnin' I just gotta keep keen and cunnin'
|
| Can’t keep running away
|
| Can’t keep running away
|
| Can’t keep running away
|
| Can’t keep running away |
