RUNAWAY
[Part I]
[Intro]
Oh, oh-oh, oh
Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
Oh, oh-oh, oh (Come, selecta)
Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah (Yeah)
[Verse 1]
If I had a million dollars, bet my life would change (Life would change)
No more juggin' for my shit and no more savin’ change (Savin' change)
I ain't gon’ lie, I get a mill', no, I ain't coppin' chains
I'd rather split it with my mans so all our lives can change (All our lives can change)
You see, we act the way we act 'cause we lack finer things
And learn to shoot 'cause no one took us to no rifle range
And even if it's contradictive, tell me put my gun away
So conflicted in my mind sometimes, I wanna run away, damn
[Chorus]
Oh, oh-oh, oh
’Round and ’round and 'round we go (Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah)
Lord, take me to where the streets is gold (Oh, oh-oh, oh)
Wanna go somewhere nobody knows (Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh-oh, oh
’Round and 'round and 'round we go (Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah)
My whole life I've been fiendin’ for (Oh, oh-oh, oh)
To go somewhere nobody knows (Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah), yeah, uh
[Verse 2]
I'm the leader out my friends and that's just how it is (How it is)
Know they dependin' on me so I gotta make it big
And it's no pressure, these streets raised a go-getter
So I surround myself with smart niggas that know better
So nah, we don't need lectures, we off all the peer pressure
I might die tomorrow, my mind's nowhere near next semester
My feet wetter, I'm in the streets so I see better
Knowin' I can make it one day so mom can sleep better
Shorty never home, I ain't gon' lie, it's hard to eat better
Hard to think that I could fly away with all these weak feathers
Like I never had shit, 'cause I never had shit
Thank God my mama had some sense to move me out the city
'Fore I ended up dead for bullshit and then bad shit
Got me thinkin', I'm the reason mom keep gettin' cancer
All this stress I be causin' and all this madness
I wake up every day and every day is blackness, damn
[Chorus]
Oh, oh-oh, oh
'Round and 'round and 'round we go (Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah)
Lord, take me to where the streets is gold (Oh, oh-oh, oh)
Wanna go somewhere nobody knows (Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh-oh, oh
'Round and 'round and 'round we go (Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah)
My whole life I've been fiendin' for (Oh, oh-oh, oh)
To go somewhere nobody knows (Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah)
[Part II]
[Intro]
COUPE
Uh, yeah, yeah
Yeah, for sure
Yeah
Uh, yeah
[Verse 3]
How far am I willin' to go?
Do whatever it takes just to blow
Spend my whole life chasin' dreams
How far am I willin' to grow?
I'll never forget 'bout the days me and ma shared a room and I slept on the floor
Man, growin' up, we was so poor
More than often, we hung our head low
I look in the mirror and see
Really everyone in, except me
Hard to embrace who I am
When inside, think it's nothin' to be
I think I'll start actin' like those who I saw on the streets or I see on TV
Everyone except me
Everyone except me
'Cause who would wanna accept me?
Do I be who I be? Yeah
I done hit the bottom, nigga
Of course, I land on my feet
But when does this come to a break?
Seem like everyone else got it straight
I'm just fightin' for leftover plate
Fuck a drink or a slice of the cake
Sometimes I just wanna run away, yeah, uh
