Dub Fx featuring Eva Lazarus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I wanted, I'll have my way your way
If I wanted, I'll have my way your way
If I wanted, I'll have my way your way
Cool with it, leader of the new school
Got lease of kicks and my beanies
Crib cah my room full
It's a lose-lose
Plus my homie's posted with hammers
He got a screw loose
Who knew? Well you must've
Noticed sutting odd
Coming from a block where more man have
Been jailed than got a job
But on the up and up
Got them eager to hear the stuff I've got
Went on a quirky fling
With some German twins
Man that's double Dutch
Run up, run up, take what's mine
If I wanted, I'll have my way your way
Don't ask me questions, I don't got time
If I wanted, I'll have my way your way
I got to suffer so they no lie
If I wanted, I'll have my way your way
Give me my money, you're running my life
If I wanted, I'll have my way your way
Yeah, I can have my way if I wanna
Blade and the butter
Mum ain't known for raising no sucker
I'ma smooth summer
The wave probably spun her
Why they giving her keys like
They caping for Usher?
Wait, why do all these dons wanna compensate?
Before me getting shows
They weren't involved, they had none to say
Yeah I heard they song and to be honest
I'm not amazed jiggy with the sauce
I've got a way with the Bolognese
So watch me wave
Run up, run up, take what's mine
If I wanted, I'll have my way your way
Don't ask me questions, I don't got time
If I wanted, I'll have my way your way
I got to suffer so they no lie
If I wanted, I'll have my way your way
Give me my money, you're running my life
If I wanted, I'll have my way your way
The song "Run" by Dub Fx featuring Eva Lazarus explores themes of empowerment, confidence, and overcoming obstacles. The repeated line "If I wanted, I'll have my way your way" serves as a declaration of the artists' determination to succeed and assert their own path. They express a sense of authority and control, as if they have the ability to navigate life according to their own terms.

The mention of a "quirky fling with some German twins" adds a playful and unpredictable element to the song, suggesting that they are not afraid to take risks and explore new experiences.
Overall, "Run" can be interpreted as a declaration of self-assurance, the willingness to challenge the norm, and the determination to overcome obstacles in the pursuit of one's ambitions.

I have to endure hardship so they cannot deceive
Give me my money, you're running my life
Provide me with my payment, you are controlling my existence

This song is my new 'healing song'. It has been one of my favorites from this album. But only this week, when I quit smoking cannabis after more than 25 years daily (ab)use, it started to make me cry every time I listened to it.
That made me see this song is actually about me, not somebody else I see running, but me.
Running from myself, "like a bullet from a gun" to "hide in that smoke that I (you) blaze".
(That last lyric I only just 'heard'/picked up on by reading the full lyrics here.)
Writing this trough yet another flood of tears, to THANK YOU my brother Dub Fx.
You have been an inspiration for years but now you really got under my skin...
So again, thank you, thank you, thank you Dub Fx, from the bottom of my hurting but healing heart. Keep up your amazing work, healing the world with your amazing music, lyrics and the unconditional love and light you spread with them like the 'spiritual warrior from the heart' that you are. <3 <3 <3
@ResurrectingJiriki

I can relate to this, - my interpretation is that the lyrics are about overcoming a dark phase of escapism through smoking yourself into a coma. Then with meditation waking up to your own life.
I was running from my life all day and all night,
smoking the herb to 'escape', but getting further from the light,
but then learnt to meditate, found new ways to de-stress,
learnt to change my fate, now everyday is the best.
