Running
Dr. Packer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Running through the storm
I don't think you realize
What you really running from
Running every minute
Running through the storm
I don't think you realize
What you really running from
Running, running, running, running
In one place they be
Running, running, running, running
On treadmills they be
Running, running, running, running
Where to? From? They don't know
Uh, uh
What you running from
You don't wanna get caught
What, you think you right
You ain't never been wrong
Do you think can run
Uphill on an empty
Can you survive
When you ain't got plenty
Always tweeting all the latest
On the worsest
Oh, I love the way
They looking in their dresses
And the way their shining rocks
Hit the lenses
All the rides
And the homes and the pets
Running circles
Like a hamster in a wheel
Missing purpose
Like an ocean on a hill
Losing Focus
Keep on blindly making bills
Hocus Pocus
You are slowly getting killed
So we gotta get on up
And keep on running
If we drop, or stop
Or someone keeps us gunning
There's no limit
To the endless game of wanting
In one place
Embrace the state of constant running
So we gotta get on up
And keep on running
If we drop, or stop
Or someone stops us gunning
There's no limit
To the endless game of wanting
In one place
Embrace the state of constant running
All their lives they be
Running, running, running, running
In one place they be
Running, running, running, running
On treadmills they be
Running, running, running, running
Where to? From? They don't know
They don't, they don't
I got off the treadmill
I stopped tilting at windmills
Don't mind running uphill, nah
One step after the other
Stay in my lane
Keeping it real
Y'all Loch Ness, fiction, mythical
Needed help, y'all ghosted - typical
So fly high as moon like I'm Disney
They might tell you they don't
But they miss me
Lookout for the knockout, no hand out
Fuck bailout, fuck shit up, no pull out
You washout, I'm breakout
All my life I stay
Running running running running
No treadmills
Never standing still
Gotta stay ill
Gotta slay shit kill
Big bills
Check the shoe bill
Blow-my-horn bill
Never gave three fs how they feel
Fuck your feels for real
Got so many styles
Got so many skills
I wanna use my power for good
But don't push me still, nah, nah
Cuz you and I no killer
But don't push me
I'm on the edge
Like a suicidal hedge
Fund manager with too much debt
Like the American college student
Or Ghana
Gotta stay shining
Gotta stay cunning
My art stay shining
Idiots shunning
Blessings overflowing
Like a gutter in Accra
Off the belt you too
Could be running the next chapter
All their lives they stay
Running, running, running, running
In one place they be
Running, running, running, running
On treadmills they be
Running, running, running, running
Where to? From? They don't know
They don't, Ey
I got off the treadmill, ey
I stopped tilting at windmills, ey
Don't mind running uphill, nah
One step after the other
Stay in my lane
Keeping it real

Line by Line Meaning
Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by
Every day, I see her through my window while she goes past me
I say to myself you're such a lucky guy,
I keep telling myself how fortunate I am
To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true
I feel privileged to have a lady like her as my partner
out of all the fellows in the world she belongs to me.
In a world full of potential suitors, she has picked me.
But it was Just my imagination, once again runnin' away with me.
But, alas, it was just my mind making things up again.
Soon we'll be married and raise a family (Oh yeah)
We will be married and have children shortly (oh yes)
A cozy little home out in the country with two children maybe three.
In the countryside, we'll have a small, warm house with two or three children.
I tell you I can visualize it all
I can imagine the whole scenario.
this couldn't be a dream for too real it all seems;
It appears too real to be true.
But it was Just my imagination once again runnin' way with me.
But, alas, it was just my mind making things up again.
Ev'ry night on my knees I pray Dear Lord, Hear my plea;
Every night, I'm on my knees, praying to God with fervor.
Don't ever let another take her love from me or I would surely die.
I beg of you, don't let anyone else take her love from me, for it would be my demise.
Her love is heavenly, when her arms enfold me,
When she embraces me, her love feels divine.
I hear a tender rhapsody; but in reality she doesn't even know me.
I hear a sweet melody, but, in truth, she doesn't know me at all.
Just my imagination once again runnin' way with me.
But, alas, it was just my mind making things up again.
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, can't forget her
Oh no, I can't forget her.
Just my imagination once again runnin' way with me.
But, alas, it was just my mind making things up again.
