On the Run
M.O.P.; Mark Ronson; Mos Def Lyrics

Living on the streets of nowhere
I am homeless, stranded and alone in a place where life seems to be nonexistent.

Nobody understands and nobody cares
I am abandoned and ignored by people around me, with no one to turn to for support or empathy.

Nobody listens, so who can tell my life is just a living hell!
I'm drowning in my pain and misery, but my cries for help and attention fall on deaf ears, making my life a constant nightmare.

I'm going back and forth, no one to run to
I am stuck in a vicious cycle of hopelessness and despair, with nowhere to seek refuge or safety.

Slowly losing my mind so what am I doing
I am slipping into madness due to the unbearable weight of my troubles, leaving me feeling helpless and confused.

If you could only see the pain and hurt in my soul
My emotional pain runs deep and is so overwhelming that it's impossible to ignore or conceal.

But you don't understand me so how could you know
People dismiss my agony because they can't relate to it, leaving me feeling alienated and alone.

Sometimes it gets so bad I think I'm losing it
My anguish becomes so overpowering that it threatens to drive me insane and make me lose touch with reality.

Can't get my hand out of life and I'm losing my grip
I'm unable to detach from my circumstances and my will to carry on is faltering, leaving me teetering on the brink of giving up.

And when you lose your grip you begin to slip
Once my grasp on my situation weakens, I start to sink deeper and deeper into a state of depression and despair.

Death is just waiting one to trip
Death seems like an easy escape from my all-encompassing anguish, but it would only end my suffering, not resolve it.

Heading down the path to nowhere
There is no hope for improvement or change in my journey, and I'm heading towards a dead end.

No one can hear me cause nobody's there
I am so isolated and neglected that there is no one around to notice or hear my cries for help.

Life gets darker and there is no light at all
My life is shrouded in darkness, devoid of any glimmer of hope or positivity.

When the ways of this world just prepares me for the fall
The cruel state of reality has hardened me for difficult times and prepared me for the inevitable downfall that follows.

What can I do what can I say
I am lost and clueless about any possible solutions to my problems or ways to express my despair.

I don't know love, only hate
I am consumed with negative emotions and animosity towards everything and everyone around me, due to the absence of love.

What would you do if you were me?
I question the compassion and understanding of those who judge me without ever considering being in my shoes.

I guess you'll never know
No one can truly comprehend the severity of my struggles or the intensity of my pain.

How would it feel to walk in my shoes
Visualizing my sorrows and hardships is beyond the scope of an average person's understanding or sympathy.

A victim of this world only used and abused
The world has relentlessly victimized and mistreated me, leaving me feeling wholly exploited and abused.

Trapped in a box with the walls coming down on me
I am cornered and suffocatingly enclosed in my dire circumstances, while my hope of escape is slowly slipping away.

They say they know how I feel
People often claim to understand my struggles, but in reality, they are ignorant of my true pain and tribulations.

Let's it end all right now, that's how I feel
The intense agony and suffering that follows me like a shadow makes me wish for my life to end, to be liberated finally.

Don't have a care in the world, life means nothing
The overwhelming misery that engulfs me has numbed my emotions and robbed my life of any value or purpose.

Don't look back, don't look back, just keep running
I am convinced that the only way out of my suffering is to keep running, to move forward through the pain and not look back.

RUN - keep running
Running away is the only viable option to escape the unbearable reality that surrounds me.

How long o Lord? Will you forget me forever?
My faith is dwindling, and I am plagued with questions of God's existence and mercy, feeling forgotten and abandoned.

How long will you hide your face from me?
God's absence in my life has made me question the validity of my existence and left me feeling lost and without purpose.

How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
My mind is a battlefield, and I am grappling with my thoughts and emotions, struggling to fathom the meaning of my life and situation.

And everyday have sorrow in my heart
My sorrow is a constant companion, present in my heart and soul every single day, never resting or conceding.

How long will my enemy triumph over me?
The torrents of my existence leave me thoroughly battered and bruised, with enemies always ready to inflict more pain and suffering.

Look at me and give me an answer o Lord my God
Desperately seeking answers and solace, I cry out to God for help, hoping against hope for a miracle.

Give light to my eyes or I'll sleep in death
Without any shred of hope or a glimmer of light, darkness engulfs me, and death is the only option left to escape my anguish.

My enemy will say I overcame him
My tormentors glory in making me suffer and may believe they have defeated me, but they have only doomed themselves.

And my foes will rejoice at my fall
The people who wished me ill will only find temporary pleasure in my demise, for ultimately, they will face their own reckoning.

But I still believe in you Lord
Faith gives me the strength to hope and believe that there is a purpose and value to my life, even when things seem bleak and dark.

And I know You're real, You're so real Lord
Through my faith in God, I am certain that his grace and compassion are not just abstract concepts but real-world phenomena.

Come and take me from this place Lord
I yearn for God to manifest himself in my life and transport me out of this suffering and into a place of solace and peace.

Everyday I will follow and see your face Lord
My faith sustains me and gives me the courage to continue through my hardships, knowing that my Lord is always watching over me.

But I trust in your unfailing love
My faith is rooted in God's unwavering love and devotion, even in times when it seems like everyone has forsaken me.

My heart rejoices Your salvation
The hope of God's salvation brings joy to my heart and fills me with a sense of purpose and strength.

I will sing to you my Lord
Through song and praise, I express my gratitude and devotion to God and his infinite grace.

For He has been, for He has been, good to me
In spite of my trials and tribulations, my unwavering faith in God reminds me of his goodness and compassion, which serve as a beacon of hope in my life.

You're the one who rescued me
Through my faith in God, I have found solace, salvation, and hope, even in the darkest and most hopeless times of my life.

And You're the one who'll set me free
I am confident that God's love and compassion are what will guide me towards freedom and liberation, from the bondage of my suffering.

I keep on running, but there ain't no where to hide
Ultimately, there is no place to hide or run from the painful realities of life, but through faith, I can persevere and find release from my burdens.

You took me in with your arms open wide
God has welcomed me with open and loving arms, reassuring me that I have not been abandoned or forgotten.

You loved me first when no one else would
God's unyielding love and compassion have been a source of reassurance and comfort, even in times when the world seems indifferent or cruel.

You died for me, so I give my life to you
My faith in God is strengthened by the knowledge that he sacrificed himself for my redemption, which inspires me to devote my life to him.

False hopes and lies, but you're the One who's
Despite the cacophony of false promises and deceit that surrounds me, I know that God is the one true hope that brings fulfillment and joy.

next time I run, I'm running straight to you
My faith in God has taught me that the only way to find solace and liberation is through him, inspiring me to continue down the path of faith.
