On the Run
Kottonmouth Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too rude for that shit
Dog boy, come inside
In the aftermay of the bed to won
We celebrate, with the rising sun
The summers dry, God got me on the run
And we won't stop, until the war is won
because we strong, like a green breate
Special forces for peace and unity
because we strong, like a green breate
Special forces for peace and unity
Day to day, song by the song the battle rages on
????soul mighty power up my zong
When I think bout home
when I'm wonderin' why
How'd I end upon this road
It's the effect of my life, why
Like a fugitve were on the run
Runin' like were runnin the gun
You know we do it all for you
But on the run to war is won
I work and done
You know I'd rather be with you
On the road doin' shows
My lifes been crazy
For the past five years it's been me and my lady
Only good things come to those who truly believe
All the time I spent alone,
never thought I would leave
Now the life I live and learn
I ain't takin' nothin' back
With the things that has happened
That be makin' me sad
Another day goes by
Gotta show respect
With the love that I get and I don't regret
Another town pound another show we must erect
Another day closer to being home again
With the tears, blood and sweat
The sacrafices made, there were fans in PA
That we wanted to play
But before gettin' paid
Way back when we were dreamin'
When we worked the nine to five
Cover up the triple beamer
When I never thought I'd leavin'
Have you always by myside
How'd I end upon this road
It's the effect of my life, why
Like a fugitve were on the run
Runnin' like were runnin' the gun
You know we do it all for you
But on the run to war is won
I work and done
You know I'd rather be with you
Can't stop our ?bowls? penetratin our zone
The freedom fight song
multiplyin' like clones
Everydays a new day
Gettin high feelin' lovely
Light the ?fire? so it rise above me
Treated us right
The mood is wrong
It's the people who fight
Sing this song
So everybody unite
Freedom fighters keep pushin' on
In the aftermay of the bed to won
We celebrate, with the risin' sun
The summers dry, God got me on the run
And we won't stop, until the war is won
Because run for miles, miles never tire
With love of the people you know were inspired, inspired
We sing this song
So the people unite
Freedom fighters fight on
Like a fugitve were on the run
Runnin' like were runnin' the gun
You know we do it all for you
But on the run to war is won
I work and done
You know I'd rather be with you
you know I'd rather be with you
you know I'd rather be with you

9/10 times this is my Go-To kmk track to ditch bad energy and just to relax and blaze to. I bumped HS2, Royal, High Society, Fire it up, Kingspade, and basically every single kmk song everyday, every place I drove. Didn’t care what people said. KMK has BANGIN’ ASS subwoofer candy that none of you Youngsters even know about because you never heard their old stuff through a pair of subwoofers. I was loyal up until Joint Venture punctured my eardrums because after that sad excuse for an album(really its release)was the beginning of the end for their perfect albums and for my speakers. Eventually, I quit listening all together for years with a few exceptions, up until recently, I started bumping them again, mainly because I live in Oregon and it’s impossible to live here and not ingest pot, and I forgot how genuinely happy all the original stuff would make me. Hardly Any artist can have pull over me like that. Only SOAD and Volbeat can compare. A few singles from other bands have taken over me before too like Bad Wolf by AWOL NATION, and Kryptonite by 3DD.
Ok, done lifting my emotional skirt for the world to see. “SRH WE RUN THIS SHIT, AN-ARCHISTIC PUNK ROCK CLIQUE!”
“Man homeboy’s over here in the garage growin’ in the dirt taking 4 1/2 months not even getting a full P Ya Know?
In a room the size of like a telephone booth using liquid nutrients, Budswell, Rockwool, ONE-1,000w High Pressure Sodium-KAVORKY BUDS THE SIZE OF A FUCKIN’ VOLKSWAGEN YOU KNOW WHAT I’M TALKIN’ ABOUT??
You do the math, motherfu**er”~~

Oregon bro lets smoke!!! I been jamming KMK for 20 years now.. Yes I miss my subwoofers!!
Alex wathogoma
Aww man I remember buying this CD and starting my KMK collection when I was 14 in 8th grade. I would jam to this album all summer night till the sun comes up. Here I am 26 and this brings good memories 😊

I love this song... Such good feels. Man i miss the old days back from 2002-2006 when kmk was actually good. Now that Richter is gone, i have no desire to listen to kmk no more. Richter was the glue that held the group together imo. Definitely lost the best im the group:/
Hewhoremains
@AsylumSaint Whats your point both styles were dope as fuck. Kingspade was more rap, kmk was more punk rock hip hop. Either style was better than 99% of what all the others were putting out at the time
Hewhoremains
@Skibbity Bop I couldn't agree more. They fucked up and now it's gone and they don't even talk to each other. It went wrong when they started using other drugs besides weed
Hewhoremains
@AsylumSaint Wtf you don't like kingspade???
Greg Brimstone
Still a good group of dudes.
Skibbity Bop
I was a huge fan from 02-06 then they went downhill and lost Richter. Just found out that Bobby B is gone too.. What a sad story.
Jesus Queriapa
I remember this being my go to song when I was looking at prison time. Being out of prison and listening to this for the first time after years of probation and prison made me cry. Thank God I made it out and didn't kill myself. Thank you universe for creating amazing music.
