Runnin'
Bazanji Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got my city on lock
I got the internet buzzing
Every song that I drop
You got the firemen coming

Bringing the heat with the CD
When they see me wanna be me
Better believe that I be free
In a big league, not pee wee
And I got cheese like Cicis
I′m never gon' flop
Looking back down from the top
Never caught up on the loss
Balling ′cause I been the boss
The follow me like I'm the law
Put all the weight on my back
Gon' be a legend like my name is Shaq
Gon′ be a funeral when I attack
So watch how you act
They never thought I could′ve rapped, damn
I'm one of a kind, that′s something
Texas Hold'em, not bluffing
I′m a diamond in the rough and
I'll never be tripping on nothing
They betting on me like bitcoin
They wanting a steak like Sirloin
But I be playing for keeps though
I′m stacking up green like Cee-Lo
I'm sorry, but I had to vent
Too many things to get off of my chest
2018 gon' be bringing more stress
I gotta be ready to handle the mess, aye
Cleaning it up like a busboy
But you gon′ find me in a Benz though
All these rappers tryna flex though
But we know that it′s a rental

They don't wanna love me ′til I'm winning
They can′t really block me from my vision
I'm just tryna get it how I want it
Now they want me back, but you know that I′ll be

Running, running, running, to another level
Running, running, running, I won't ever settle
Running, running, running, I'ma go and get it
Running, running, running, I′m coming for the medal
Running, running, running, to another level
Running, running, running, I won′t ever settle
Running, running, running, I'ma go and get it
Running, running, running, I′m coming for the medal

Don't care if you hate it
I will never be stopping
Real fans gon′ play this
And I got the bass knocking

Knocking on that front door
'Cause I′m 'bout to hit a lick though
Going straight to the top floor
Got 'em jumping out the window
I don′t need no label
No seats at my table
I don′t need no handouts
'Cause the money been stable
Get ready if you check me
′Cause I'll kill you on the beat though
Man, this shit too easy
Like I′m shooting some free throws
KD with the three tough
Sleight of hand with the reload
I been popping off worldwide
Can't oversee me though
Swagytracks got my back though
Best fans, that′s facts though
I been going in full speed
Other rappers get lapped though
DiCaprio when I rap though
Catch me if you can, hoe
No friends in the rap game
This shit been cut throat
Find me in the air zone
Your girl told me you're friendzoned
You're childish like Redbone
I got bars like cellphones

They don′t wanna love me ′til I'm winning
They can′t really block me from my vision
I'm just tryna get it how I want it
Now they want me back, but you know that I′ll be

Running, running, running, to another level
Running, running, running, I won't ever settle
Running, running, running, I′ma go and get it
Running, running, running, I'm coming for the medal
Running, running, running, to another level
Running, running, running, I won't ever settle
Running, running, running, I′ma go and get it




Running, running, running, I′m coming for the medal
(For the medal, for the medal, for the medal)
