So run away let's get lost for some seasons
Girl you got me fighting fighting demon

Chopper leave you Harlem shake if try leaving
Girl just never lie to me or don't you try to leave
No You don't need nobody else girl I got wat you need
I just might risk it all for you love girl I'm on one knees
Don't you be scared or worried girl I got you till the end
Girl I'll will be your Adam if u just come be my eve
A bottom boy survivor wear my heart right on my sleeve
And i don't need nobody girl it's just you and me
Yes it's just me and you You got nothing to prove
Girl I got you forever even when you in ya moods
I know i can be toxic but you love makes me complete
Without you im still lost in a void feel like it never end
I might run away i been stuck in my head I been thinking
Popping beans yeah they change By the seasons
All this weed and this wack yeah it got me leaning
Let's pretend that we're numb yeah to the feeling

All this weed and this wack yeah it got me leaning
Let's just pretend that we're numb yeah to the feeling
All alone in my head I'm all alone in my head
I know they want me dead but it feels like I'm already dead
And i been running from my pain again
My heart starts to drain again the girls are the same again
I'll never trust a hoe again
I've been thinking I might run away i been stuck in my head I been thinking
Popping beans yeah they change By the seasons
All this weed and this wack yeah it got me leaning
Let's pretend that we're numb yeah to the feeling
I been stuck in my head i been thinking
Popping beans yeah they change By the seasons




All this weed and this wack yeah it got me leaning
Let's just pretend that we're numb yeah to the feeling

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of D.C. Lewis's song On The Run talks about the victory of a hip hop group Run DMC who successfully proved their skills to be the best in New York City. The lyrics start by talking about the power-packed stage full of superstars, but D.M.C declares "My house" to claim their dominance. They ask the crowd, "Who's house?" and reply, "Run's house!" Run DMC's music was initially rejected by some people who thought rap music was crap, but they proved them wrong with their beats. Run, the leader of the group, is the ruler who has a cool name and can make the audience dance and prance.


DMC boasts about being one of the all-time greats who has the most rhymes in New York state. He talks about reporters and producers wanting to be down with the king. He and Run DMC are a complete package, wanted by every fan, and not just any gang from off the street. D.M.C suggests that whoever tries to underestimate or miscalculate their skills will regret it in the end. The song talks about the strength of their flow, which causes casualties and catastrophes to suck emcees. Run's house is all about no doubt and shouting, and they turn it out.


The overall meaning of the song is to showcase the power and dominance of Run DMC. They are the kings of the hip hop scene, and their music is unbeatable. The song is a bold statement of their strength and ability to shut down those that doubt them.
