On the Run
Merkules Lyrics

I been ridin' solo
I have been alone and on my own path

Driving down that old road
Traveling on a familiar path

Trying to find a way out I need an escape
Seeking a way to leave behind difficult times

Heavy in the fast lane, I been having bad days
Going full speed despite challenges and setbacks

Driving through the red lights finding my way
Pushing through obstacles to reach my destination

And I don't know if I'm wrong or right
Unsure of the correct path

No matter what I'm still taking my time
Not rushing in my decisions and actions

I been blinded by the hi-beam head lights
Blinded by external forces and distractions

But this road is my only still night
Finding peace in the journey despite the chaos

They don't love me like they used to
People have changed and no longer show the same level of affection

They don't love me like they have
People's love has diminished over time

I been out here sense the full moon
Been on my own and disconnected from society

Watch my world slip through my hands
Things falling apart and out of control

So I'll be back real soon
Determined to return after overcoming obstacles

I still got things to prove
Motivated to prove oneself to others and to oneself

So many times I had to lose
Experienced failure and setbacks numerous times

Now I'm back I ain't playin' by no rules
Returning stronger and more confident, and doing things differently

I been on the run, I've been tryna dodge the fuzz
Trying to avoid trouble and the law

I been working hard, I've been down on my luck
Working tirelessly despite bad fortune

Snakes in my circle that I thought that I could trust
Betrayal by those once considered friends

Stabbed me in the back but it's all fake love
Betrayal by those who pretended to care

I've been tripping and I've been thinking
Reflecting on life and one's choices

I've been drinking and I'm too twisted
Escaping reality through alcohol

I've been feeling like I might lose touch
Fear of losing one's grip on reality

Take another shot but it's still not enough
Continuing to seek a way out through unhealthy means

It's kinda crazy how this life can weigh you down
The heaviness of life's challenges

I'm the king of the ring that's why I might just take the crown
Confidence in one's abilities to succeed

I've been moving in silence not the type to make a sound
Going about one's business quietly and unassumingly

And through the blood sweat and tears I'ma fight through every round
Persevering through challenges and obstacles

I'ma prosper when I have too
Determined to succeed no matter what

There's not much that I can't do
Belief in one's own capabilities

I'm good in every hood there's not a block that I ain't ran through
Respected and accepted in all types of communities

Scars on my face with a body full of tattoos
Physical evidence of one's struggles and experiences

And all I get is dubs so I promise you I can't lose
Consistent success and determination to keep winning

Been through the mud I got dirt on my boots
Experienced difficult times and overcame them

I swam with the love that's the word on the truth
Navigated challenging situations with love and honesty

From the curb to the stoop from the burbs to the booth
Moved from different areas of life and still found success

Make 'em search for the clues 'til they burning the fuze
Challenging others to find the answer by pushing their limits

Yeah, I'm still driving 'til my goes go empty
Continuing to push through challenges until there's nothing left

I know I coulda sold out but the fans won't let me
Not giving up one's authenticity despite the opportunity to sell out

I'm tryna move forward but my past won't let me
Struggling to push past past experiences and memories

All my goals right in front of me and that's my destiny
Belief that one's goals are within reach and meant to be achieved
