Running Away

Is it a shame to have skeletons in ya closet, I mean

We all have, 'cause that’s nature right?

Nothing like a perfect man or perfect woman

Nah, just the desire to be a perfect man or perfect woman

And it’s only right to strive for it

In a world where dumb niggas hold triggers and knifes

Make you pay the price with your life

Shit happens on a daily basis

So I guess that I’m just showin' you the basics of life

A life controlled by the media

Man, don’t underestimate what it can to do ya

Makes you wonder what’s the right thing to do

You don’t know when there are so many voices in you

And they’re all saying something else

It’s a process we go through to find ourselves

'Cause you never know, who you are

'Till you made some mistakes and your soul got scars and you lost all your faith

But it’s always for the better that we change I guess

How come we can’t think clear when shit gets dangerous?

Like pow! Another soul lost

And you really can’t believe that it’s your fault

Cuz you ain’t crazy

You're a good man

Friends and family just can’t understand

How can a young man pull over a trigger when he’s never hurt a soul before?

I’m trying to figure out

We’re sinners from the beginning, all I know

So no matter who you are, guess it’s always gonna show

We’re sinners from the beginning, all I know

So no matter who you are

We can’t keep runnin’ away from ourselves

Somebody told me things ain’t black or white, they’re just grey

And I know that’s really real

We can’t keep runnin’ away from ourselves

Somebody told me things ain’t black or white, they’re just grey

Or is it just the way I feel?

I keep antagonizing what I really need & what I should keep close

It ain’t you nah it’s really me

I ain’t perfect you know that

That excuse I have been usin

To my advantage too many times, it’s straight abusin'

I feel the devil on my path as I walk

The devil is just a metaphor for our dark thoughts uh

I need em sometimes, man I ain’t gon lie

I ain’t finna die from a little piece of the devils pie

You can call me selfish I was born alone, alone I’ll die

Now I got these people all up in my face askin why

I don’t even try to do right when I wasn’t even tryna do wrong, damn

Can I live? Can I live?

I been takin’ too much, I should try to give maybe

What’s point of livin’ just for ya self?

Then again what’s the meaning of life?

We can’t keep runnin’ away from ourselves

Somebody told me things ain’t black or white, they’re just grey

And I know that’s really real

We can’t keep runnin’ away from ourselves

Somebody told me things ain’t black or white, they’re just grey

Or is it just the way I feel?

The way I feel

Is it just the way I feel oh?

Is it how I feel?

'Way I feel

We can’t keep runnin’ away from ourselves

Somebody told me things ain’t black or white, they’re just grey

And I know that’s really real

We can’t keep runnin’ away from ourselves

Somebody told me things ain’t black or white, they’re just grey

Or is it just the way I feel?
