Ay' Vanta you ready
Lil Flip in the building
So it don't matter what you're going through
Just have a final destination you're going to
I've been runnin'

run from my problems now I'm runnin to em
And if I catch my ops lacking dog im gonna do em'
Man I used to bite my tongue
But that isn't likely done
So lately I'm spazzin' out when I clap his ass I'm backing out
I'm the peice to the puzzle
Tell ya dog to get a muzzle
I'm a real street cat
I don't live in a bubble
I hustle baby I'm a go getta

Cuz' me and you not the same
My cup full of purple rain
Runnin' all of the time
I've been runnin'
Runnin'
My cup full of purple rain
My cup full of purple rain
My cup full of Alize
Fuck bitches get paid

The lyrics of #.4.26’s song Runnin’ are focused on the message of not giving up and continuing to run towards your goals despite any adversities or obstacles that you may face. The opening line acknowledges the collaborator on this track, Vanta, and then goes into the overall theme. Lil Flip, the featured artist, encourages the listener to have a final destination in mind, and to keep running towards that goal. The chorus serves as a reminder to not give up and to keep pushing forward even when things get tough. The verses are more focused on the rapper’s personal experiences and circumstances and how he has learned to handle them through persevering.
The line “I used to run from my problems, now I'm running to ‘em” speaks to the growth and maturity that the singer has experienced. They have learned that avoiding issues and challenges will not solve anything, and instead, confronting them head-on is the most effective approach. The following lines “And if I catch my ops lacking dog I’m gonna do em'” shows a more aggressive side to the singer, revealing that he’s willing to take action against those who have wronged him in the past. The line “My cup full of purple rain” is a reference to the late artist Prince, who famously had a song and movie titled Purple Rain.
Interestingly enough, the lyrics “Trunk full of that bass” are repeated thrice, making it the most repeated phrase in the song. The song’s chorus also serves as the song’s title, but unlike most tracks, it isn’t repeated as often. The song does not have a bridge or a pre-chorus, making it more straight-forward and regimented. While the song may be categorized under the Hip-Hop/Rap genre, it is more of an upbeat, club banger rather than the traditional slow-paced Hip-Hop most are used to.
