Running
Izaya Tiji Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm getting racks right now so
What could you tell me
And it's funny, these hollows'll hit you
In the tummy bitch we look like gummy
Hellcat way too fast, nigga it's running
Keep them bands
Nigga, we could cook up a mountain
Don't make me go take the top down
The fuck is he talkin' 'bout
Too many sticks on lockdown
Look like a fountain
Money counter count up dividends
Cut a opp at a Mickey D's shooters mini men
Still keep the draco in the minivan
(Still keep the draco in the minivan)
Hit up stocks, gonna be a millionaire
Just touched down, nigga, Lenox onyx, Alyx
You know my niggas, they A list
These bitches outdated
White people lookin' racist
Too many drugs lately too many bands lately
Let's go, eyes lazy, fazin'
We can fry a nigga like bacon
Put his ass in the basement
I'm getting racks right now so
What could you tell me and it's funny
These hollows'll hit you in the tummy
Bitch we look like gummy
Hellcat way too fast, nigga it's running
Whoa, whoa hellcat way too, Hellcat too
Hellcat way too fast, nigga it's running
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hellcat way too fast, nigga it's running
Prrr, boom
Hellcat way too fast, nigga it's running
Prrr, boom, boom, boom
The lyrics of Izaya Tiji's song "Running" depict a sense of confidence and the pursuit of success. The opening lines, "Go, let's go, go, go slay," convey a determination to achieve goals and make a mark. The artist expresses his current financial success, stating that he is "getting racks right now," and challenges anyone to question or criticize him by asking, "What could you tell me?" He finds it amusing that the consequences of his actions, symbolized by the phrase "hollows'll hit you in the tummy," are insignificant to him, comparing them to the appearance of gummy bears.
The next part of the lyrics focuses on the fast and exhilarating nature of their lifestyle. The reference to a Hellcat, a high-performance sports car, suggests a life lived on the edge. Izaya Tiji describes the car as running so fast that it becomes a blur. The lines, "Racks goin' up real fast, nigga they jumping," indicate that their financial gains are increasing rapidly. They have amassed so much money that they could "cook up a mountain," emphasizing their excessive wealth and ability to live a lavish lifestyle. The artist warns others not to make him angry, suggesting that he is capable of taking extreme measures, symbolized by "go take the top down" and "too many sticks on lockdown." In this context, "sticks" likely refers to guns, displaying a readiness to defend their position.
Switching focus, the lyrics mention the artist's investment in stocks with hopes of becoming a millionaire. They boast about their recent arrival at Lenox Avenue, an upscale neighborhood, and the association with onyx (a precious stone) and Alyx (a luxury fashion brand) further enhance the image of opulence. Izaya Tiji proudly refers to their crew as A-list, indicating that their status within their social circle is elite. The lyrics briefly touch on societal issues such as outdated thinking and racism, perhaps suggesting a desire for progress and change. The artist acknowledges indulgence in drugs and wealth, while the closing lines express a willingness to confront and eliminate their enemies.
