running away
Asher Roth Lyrics

A cold war
A tense situation between two opposing sides

Colder than four Coors
More intense than four cold beers

Extorted and sold short
Taken advantage of and left with less than what was deserved

Curious, poor George
Inquisitive and lacking wealth

Fury is four
Anger and rage is at its peak

And this is the floor
This is the lowest point

It's like the story of the tortoise
Similar to the fable of the slow and steady tortoise winning the race

Or delivery stork
Also like the myth of a bird delivering babies

Ultimate warrior
A reference to a popular wrestling persona

More Mickey Rourke
Similar to actor Mickey Rourke's edgy and controversial lifestyle

It's been reported there's a shortage of the barbecue pork
News of a scarcity of a popular meat

I try to ignore it like somebody who snores
Attempting to tune out the issue

But it's important
It's significant and should not be disregarded

Can't afford it
Unable to pay for it

Like a four door sport
Similar to an expensive sports car

"I'm euphoric, "
Sarcastically stating that everything is great

I retorted
I replied defensively

I've been bordered up by border
Feeling trapped with physical and mental boundaries

I'm a sort it out in order
I'll figure it out step by step

I don't need your support
I can handle this on my own

I don't give a shit
I don't care

Not interested in anybody's listening
Don't care if anyone is paying attention

Do it for the gist of it
Doing it for the essence and core of it

It's just what my condition is
This is my current state of being

And yeah I'm having trouble sleeping
Experiencing insomnia

It's definitely my fault
Acknowledging personal responsibility

Is it another reason I'm completely in downfall?
Wondering if there is another factor causing personal failure

Maybe it's just the season
Possibly influenced by the time of year

Mercury rounds off
The planet Mercury completes its orbit

Right on my mid heathen
At the center of my uncivilized and ungodly state

Yeah I'm secretly "wow, Roth"
Acknowledging a sense of personal amazement

Telling me this is freedom
This feeling is liberation

Then I need you to vouch for it
Asking for confirmation and assurance

Feel like life teasing me
Sense of being toyed with by existence

Feeding me South Park
Eclectic cultural and entertainment influences

Fighting to keep the peace
Struggling to maintain harmony

Maybe need to get out more
Suggesting the possibility of needing more social interaction and experiences

This machine cheats
Life is trying to defeat me

Time to even the route score
Now it's my turn to set things straight

Stuck in the downpour
Trapped in a figurative and literal storm

Alone and I'm outdoors
Isolated and exposed to the elements

Hoping that it won't keep going though
Praying that the bad situation will soon pass

Moving the doubt for
Pushing aside the uncertainty

Realer than who you keep around
More authentic and genuine than one's companions

Sure to look out for
One to watch out for

So you can tell it's found
So it's clear that it's been discovered

Never leaving without yours
Making sure to take what belongs to oneself
