Runnin'

I got the new world in my view

On my journey I pursue

I said I’m running, running for the city

I got the new world in my view

I got the new world in my view

On my journey I pursue

Lord said I’m running, running for the city

I got the new world in my view

They ain’t got no muscle, no hustle

No backbone, I stand alone

Not tripping, just saying, I’m different

Ain’t hanging on the coattails of the next man

Passport in my left hand, thinking that you are next

Heck, hope you ain’t holding your breath, man

‘Cause I’m out here, I’m hungry, I don’t play around, trust me

Ain’t hexed my drive since my homie decide to get rusty

And my girl said she loved me, it’s funny

Thinking back, study hard for that 9 to 5

Like I thought that I’d be good with that

I was dreaming, still dreaming, spoiled it on me like Willie Beanie

Sip it for me like cappuccino, we stuck around in tuxedos

With my peoples, we growing up ‘stead of seeing others slowing up

Ten squad, we thought we know every time that we showing up

Get it while I’m living

All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, ticking

So I’m ‘bout my business

And I’m running, I’m running

I’m running with them, yeah

They don’t wanna give it up

We don’t make them ask it

Get it while I’m living

All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, ticking

So I’m ‘bout my business

And I’m running, I’m running

I’m running with them, yeah

They don’t wanna give it up

We don’t make them ask it

Beats don’t get no greater, feel like I’m on fire

Feel like I’m John Storm, feel like I’m volatile

Explosive, get close enough to notice

Your girl act out a character when she see me approaching

Aint pouching I’m just saying it’s nothing

You punching above your weight, I’m something

She ain’t seen no substitute in that A team

That’s BA, barracks, that BS, that whackness

Get no play in my axis, make ‘em jump like AJ Hackett

Guarantee you in these boots they couldn’t walk one mile

I really need to go and hang it up like a drunk dial

So behind the times they should probably rock till sun down

Shattering their dreams, I could make big pun smile

Music from the soul, don’t need them to help me

If they fiending for the flash, they should take another selfie

Said I’m running, I’m running like no pharaoh so deep

I swear the whole world could go against me, it don’t matter, man

Get it while I’m living

All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, ticking

So I’m ‘bout my business

And I’m running, I’m running

I’m running with them, yeah

They don’t wanna give it up

We don’t make them ask it

Get it while I’m living

All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, ticking

So I’m ‘bout my business

And I’m running, I’m running

I’m running with them, yeah

They don’t wanna give it up

We don’t make them ask it

I wanna taste

Won’t wait another day

All is falling into place

We ain’t got much to lose

I wanna taste

Won’t wait another day

All is falling into place

We ain’t got much to lose

Get it while I’m living

All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, ticking

So I’m ‘bout my business

And I’m running, I’m running

I’m running with them, yeah

They don’t wanna give it up

We don’t make them ask it

Get it while I’m living

All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, ticking

So I’m ‘bout my business

And I’m running, I’m running

I’m running with them, yeah

They don’t wanna give it up

We don’t make them ask it
