Runnin'
Machine Gun Kelly feat. Planet VI Lyrics

Runnin' I ain't running, I ain't running away
I am not running away from my problems, instead I am facing them head on.

'Cause I'm so tired of running
I am exhausted from constantly running and avoiding my issues.

That I've worn my soles out,
I have been running so much that the soles of my shoes are worn out.

To the point that my toes is out,
My shoes have gotten to the point where my toes are sticking out.

To the point that I can't look back and even if I did Couldn't see where I started out,
I have been running for so long that I can't even remember where I started from.

Can't see home for miles,
I am so far from home that it is not visible, even from miles away.

Lost like another orphan child,
I feel lost and alone, like an orphan child who has no one to turn to.

I'm only grinning cause I'm supposed to smile,
I am pretending to be happy and act like everything is okay because that is what is expected of me.

So I do it for the ones that are down and out Proud one of theirs is gonna be a spokesman now,
I am trying to be a role model for those who are struggling and don't have anyone else to look up to.

But I'm still running, running, and I don't know where,
Despite my efforts to face my problems, I am still confused and lost.

All I got to my name is one pair, of laced up chucks, Five bucks, and a chip on my shoulder that's so big that I cannot bare,
I have very little to my name and am carrying a large grudge that is causing me emotional distress.

I done lost my friends, family, and home for this, And for that I have lost my mind,
I have sacrificed my relationships and stability for my goals, and it has taken a toll on my mental health.

Kept my faith, lost my direction I'm just praying that I haven't lost my time, go!
I have faith in myself and what I am doing, but I am uncertain about where I am headed and am hoping that I am not wasting my time.

I'm so tired of struggling, I'm so tired of hustling, I can feel my heart filled with hate, I'm so tired of loving,
I am exhausted from constantly struggling and hustling to achieve my goals, and it has caused me to feel anger and resentment towards others. At the same time, I am tired of putting in effort and not receiving the love and support that I need.

I was supposed to be great, I'm so tired of ducking, Tired of coming home from my job being fired from nothing, And shit I'm tired, from the nights a motherfucker took that ride, To make that dream come alive, Then wake up in the morning to a 9 to 5, But I gotta do it if I wanna survive,
I was meant to accomplish great things, but I am tired of avoiding obstacles and coming home from dead-end jobs. I have worked hard and made sacrifices to pursue my dreams, but I still have to work a regular job to survive.

Because in the city where I'm from it's Either do or die, So choose it wise because you could lose it in the blink of an eye But even in the darkest times it's proven I
In the city where I am from, you have to work hard to succeed or you will fail. I know that my decisions and actions are important and can have a significant impact on my life, but I have proven that I am capable of overcoming adversity even in the most difficult times.

I keep my head up, with my feet on the ground, From the bottom so up is the only place that I'm going, Ready to face all that's in front of me now, 'Cause I'm so tired of runnin'
I am determined to stay grounded and focused on my goals, and I am ready to confront any challenges that come my way instead of running from them.

I'm walking through the fire, 'Cause there is no way around, Moving in the same direction wherever the wind is blowing Ready to face all that's in front of me now, 'Cause I'm so tired or running
I know that the only way to achieve my goals is to face my problems head on, even if it means going through difficult times. I am willing to adapt and change direction if necessary, but I am done with running away from my problems.
