Runnin'
Grits Lyrics

Runnin', runnin'
Lookin' for that love I once knew
Runnin', I'm runnin'
Trying to find my way back to you

I've been runnin' since understandin' confiscated my globe
Stuttering since expression stole the key to my soul
Struggling since victory presumed control
Battling since the truth infiltrated my mould
Seeking to find a life in invisible hold

Traveling down the path of a difficult road
Runnin' without a clue of being laid astray
Swearing I'm getting closer but really further away

Runnin', runnin'
Lookin' for that love I once knew
Runnin', I'm runnin'
Trying to find my way back to you

Don't you sometimes sit back and look at yourself
Examine things in life you hate but you've become get sick of yourself
The very images you claim lack worth
Then with uncontrolled labor pains them very images you gave birth
This topic got me ceiling walkin', I'm so beside myself
I'm lookin' at me like I'm someone else and I don't feel I'm talkin'
I'm tryin' to spit it best I can atcha
We gonna grab your attention grabbers that keep you from runnin'

Runnin', lookin' for you
Said I'm runnin'
Runnin', lookin' for you
Said I'm runnin'

In desolate times I wrestle at times
Feeling so neglected at times rejected at times
Hard to try to get out my mind hold to the soul
Believing that it's gonna be fine, he's in control
Letting go the walk in the know forgetting the how
Strong enough to wait for the when to weaken the now
Put aside the question of why, this is allowed
Running to the back of the line, looking for mine, looking for mine

Runnin', runnin'
Lookin' for that love I once knew
Runnin', I'm runnin'
Trying to find my way back to you

If dead men tell no tales, how do you account
For the platinum rappers with millions of record sales
Then tell me I ain't good 'cause my record fails
With a standard that's set to first-quarter sales, the truth shall prevail
If I let you dictate it life would be stale
But I follow my Lord who's been proven with the scars and nails
Everybody busy funnin' number one stunnin', what else you get
From yo mama, nothin' but heartache from all the runnin'

Runnin', my desire's lead me right to
The very thing that has me runnin' back to you
Runnin', runnin'
Runnin', my desires lead me right to
The very thing that has me runnin' back to you
Runnin', runnin'

Runnin', lookin' for you
Said I'm runnin'
Runnin', lookin' for you
Said I'm runnin'
Trying to find my way back to you

Runnin', runnin'
Lookin' for that love I once knew
Runnin', I'm runnin'
Trying to find my way back to you

To all the Atheists, I have a question.
How do you know that Mongolia exists? Have you ever been there and seen it?

Belief is a part of reality. People who don't believe in anything they have not seen/expirenced have a name... insane. Now, I know that you believe things (And that's fine, because I believe that Mongolia and Kosovo and France exist, even though I've never been there) but I'm just saying, don't say belief is bankrupt. You would cease to function without them.

"Humans DONT KNOW THE ANSWERS" is an answer that you are claiming to know...your view is self-defeating

Ethan Sah

That's really interesting. I'll think about it. I'm pretty sure that's sound logic; though I haven't really gone over it yet.

You can't argue that something came from nothing however. That's physically impossible. It violates the 1st law of thermodynamics, its un-observable. Also saying a big bang created everything, is like saying a explosion caused a picture book to be created. DNA is a code its like a book but WAY WAY WAY more complex, do you really believe DNA(a book) was blown together by a explosion. Its impossible for this to happen because DNA was intelligently designed, you need a intelligent designer to accomplish this. God is the author of our book.

Lmao their real because they actually exist their on a map! Haha people live there smh religion is something that just complicates everything. This is great music that's not a doubt but you don't need faith n religion to enjoy it or to believe that we as humans DONT KNOW THE ANSWERS.

allright. let's say that there is a god. which god is the right one then? the god of you christians? or the god of the muslims? or are the gods from the hinduism the real ones? Or are all the gods the same and everyone who believes in something goes to heaven?

humanity wasn't created by god. the people invent god and not nackwards! if you talk from humanity, then we need humanity-reference and not god-reference, do you know?!

there's no god. If there was, why doesn't he show himself to us? If he did he would make everyone on the world instant believers. When he would say that Islam or being a christian is the right way we wouldn't have fights about our beliefs. If there's a god, he should have the balls to show himself to us, so we all can believe.
