Run
J-Love & Rakim Lyrics

And you say
I know you're trying to explain away what happened

You say that it was your fault
You're admitting blame for what happened

And you say
I know you're still trying to justify your actions

You say she didn’t mean a thing
You're minimizing the role of the other person involved

But still you took her by the hand and you did it anyway
You went ahead with something you knew was wrong, regardless of the consequences

Oh yes, I told you
I warned you about this exact outcome

Oh yes, I warned you
I made it clear that this path would not end well

And still you took her by the hand
You ignored my advice and continued down the same path

I am fully aware that there are two sides
I know that there are always multiple perspectives to consider

Of every story
When it comes to interpreting what happened

But now I see
I have come to a realization

Bright green
It's become clear that you are envious of something

Now I see
I have gained insight into what's really going on

Run, baby, run
I can't stay here anymore

High, you know I gotta go
I need to get away from this situation as quickly as possible

Jealousy is causing me to
Your envy is making it impossible for me to stay

Oh, you know I gotta go
There's no other choice but to leave

Jealousy
The emotion that's driving everything

Is killing me
It's causing me a lot of pain and discomfort

Still you’ll take her by the hand and you’ll do it anyway
You're not learning from past mistakes, and are likely to repeat them

And yes, I’ll tell you
I'll be sure to let you know once again

Oh, yes, I warned you
I've already cautioned you about the risks involved

And still you take her by the hand and you fuck her anyway
You're still not listening and are going ahead with your plan

I ask you
I have a big question to ask you

To marry me
Do you want to be with me forever?

When I am dead and buried
Even after I'm gone, will you still love me?

Oh, so run, baby, run
There is an urgency in needing to escape this situation

You know you gotta
You must also recognize the need to flee

Jealousy is causing me to
Your negative emotions are driving me away

I just I just
I can't stay here anymore

Jealousy
Your envy is such a destructive force

Is killing me
It's too much for me to bear
