Ain't nobody else around that you can call
See yaself as a king again
Sittin on throne
Ain't nobody coming to save you
So you better get going
Had to figure out this hustle shit
At times I wrong
Momma stuck back at home helping out wit my son
While I'm on the road guessin like, what am I doing
I ain't have a blue print but I knew what I know
Stopped asking people for some help cuz niggas don't know
Everybody tryin to shine like niggas ain't broke
Then they look atchu on ya grind "dat nigga's a joke"
Had to stop chasing women entertaining these hoes
Keep my phone on DND stay focused on goals
Aim high on my next target buying a home
I ain't sayin I'm the best but this feelin is HOV, NICCA
Keep ya focus my nigga
Don't let 'em throw you off purpose my nigga
Keep going
No need to worry my nigga
You on a path they ain't worthy my nigga
Keep going
Its gone' be worth it my nigga
It wasn't perfect but it's workin my nigga
Keep going
Continue swervin my nigga
You know they lurkin and they watching
Man you hurtin em nigga
Yea
It gets lonely when you grindin
Working on ya business all the time man
Sacrifice quality time and
She not understanding selfish
Say she wanna have some fun damn
So she meet a dude who pays attention
Gives her what she needs
More like what's she want
She ups and leave
Blames you for the downfall
I'm talkin everything
While I'm lookin at the call log yo 17
Text messages setting up they lil rendezvous
She comes back home giving you some attitude
She'nt wanna fuck she just got thru
Goes in the other room text em back writes "I miss you too"
Then she downplays whatchu seen
She accuses YOU of doing things
Asked to see ya cash app
So you show her now she like "boy I told ya"
Whole time she the one that's living bogus, true story
Damn
Keep ya focus my nigga
Don't let 'em throw you off purpose my nigga
Keep going
No need to worry my nigga
You on a path they ain't worthy my nigga
Keep going
Its gone' be worth it my nigga
It wasn't perfect but it's workin my nigga
Keep going
Continue servin my nigga
You know they lurkin and they watching
Man you hurtin em nigga
Yea

Line by Line Meaning
You've got that distant look in your eye
I can tell that you're distant and detached from our relationship
Your getting' ready to say goodbye
I can sense that you're about to leave me
So baby don't explain
I don't need an explanation from you
I've heard it all before
I've heard all the excuses and reasons for leaving
I'll just escort you out that door
I will watch you leave and not try to stop you
You say the road keeps calling your name
You feel compelled to keep traveling and exploring
You're torn between the pleasure and pain
You're conflicted between the good and bad aspects of our relationship
Though a part of you wants to stay
You have a desire to remain with me
Your restless heart makes you run away
Your restless spirit drives you to leave and not stay in one place for too long
(chorus)
Repeating the chorus
Keep on running
Continue moving forward
Chasin' a dream
Pursuing a goal or aspiration
Keep on running
Don't give up, keep trying
'Til you run back to me
Until you come back to me
You've got your car all ready to go
You've prepared to leave with your vehicle
Give me a call in a week or so
Call me when you have time, after you've left
And if you're feeling lonely at night
If you feel lonely at night
Some other arms can hold you tight
Find someone else to hold you
And I'll be there in the back of your mind
I'll still be on your mind even when you're with someone else
You'll see my face in every highway sign
You'll imagine my face in everything you see
'Cause everybody needs a friend
Everyone needs someone to turn to
And that's why you keep running back again
That's why you keep coming back to me
(repeat chorus)
Repeating the chorus
(repeat chorus)
Repeating the chorus
Keep on running
Continue moving forward
Till you run right back to me
Until you come back to me
