Runaway

I said all that I'll say, so I stand with no apologies

I've popped all that I popped, wasn't too recently that it got to me

Those of ya'll that love Joe, gotta admit the shit was a lot to see

Today I take all of the credit like I did away with modesty

I lost weight, lost faith, I got caught up in that vacuum

My stomach turned and my eyes burned, and I became best friends with the bathroom

Today it takes all the strength I have inside for me to avoid the rush

Face pokered over the toilet, all you hear is a royal flush

Was under the control, though they warned me about addiction

Mind manifested again in the form of a prescription

And it's funny what the effects of that little pill'll do

Funny shit that keeps you alive can also kill you

But it's my life, guess I'm stuck in it

Sometimes I wanna just be normal like them other kids

The demon I battle with every night is simply drugs and shit

But I'll runaway from it all if God deems that I've had enough of it

They say don't get lost, you are the leader

And don't do that, be a believer

When the sun goes down, you better hide

It's a dangerous world, better stay inside and

Run along, run along

It's a long long way, home from here

Run along, run along

It's a long long way, home from here, yeah

Uh, it go

How come they can roll? Ya'll tell me how come they can smoke, they can drink?

They get to do whatever they want and it don't interrupt the way they think

They all get to be regular, why is it only me this odd?

Me who can't even stand up straight, me who can't even keep a job

Maybe I'm asking for too much, a tiny piece of normalcy

Or answer to any one of my fucking prayers that's asking what's wrong with me

Maybe I'm tired of being unique, tired of being that outcast

I'm tired of me being the only one, so tired of you all not knowing about that

I'm tired of it all, want me to fall a spectacle, for the crowd to see

Or being the only one with faith, I'm tired of everybody doubting me

I'm tired of responding to grown ass folks that think so motha fuckin childishly

Aches, wish I could take my parents' genes the fuck up out of me

Tired of wanting to run somewhere, tired of having to bare it all

Tired of you fucks constantly taking from me and I'm willing to share it all

Tired of being objective, I'm tired of having to hear it all

But being alone is the only way I know to never be near it all
