Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This Big K bitch, okay?
Don't let none of that shit confuse y'all, alright?
Real Nigga shit, Bitch!
I hate to put a nigga in a body bag, grind a nigga up in a coffee bag
Just spotted that nigga, did you copy that?
I'ma knock his ass out, tell him roger that
All these bitches be so grimy, let his ass know come find me
Got his ass shaking like why me? I'll fight you and yo mama (come try me)
Like run, run nigga run nigga run
Better watch out just got my gun, you a dead bitch ion play for fun
Don't think to reach for your pocket, she trying show out on locket
You thought shit sweet? bitch stop it
Them new Jordans out had to cop it, you see her playing in your face
You grown nigga gone catch a case (lock his ass up!)
If you do buy her a new lace, I don't sweat over bitches, they get replaced
Now let's get serious, bitches be acting delirious




Niggas try being mysterious, remember i'm the KING imperious
It's K, alright play with your mama hoe, don't try me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to K-OS (ft. Saukrates)'s song "On The Run" provide a dystopian view of a world in chaos. The song opens by describing the rampant abuse and assault happening outside of a building while the singer leads the way on a perilous journey. Society is depicted as deteriorating, with crime and violence corrupting people's hearts, and nations lost in a cruel holocaust. In response to the anarchy and chaos, the chorus urges listeners to run from the apocalypse, which seems to have arrived.


The second verse continues with the theme of destruction, describing the final destruction of humanity due to alliances sparking in the dark underworld. Raiders, thieves and violence are rampant on the streets. The urgency grows with the warning that time is running out and the only solution is to stop playing and run. The final verse sees the singer crawling through tunnels, finding light and running to Starblade's high on the hill. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing that the seven seals of hell have been broken, the devil has won and it's time to run from the final hour that has come.


The lyrics of "On The Run" reflect a bleak outlook on society and the world, calling for individuals to take heed and run from the destruction that seems inevitable.
