Runnin'
P.Mo Lyrics

Started running to the other siiiidddeeee
Running away from my current situation.

The grass is greener when it ain't around me
Things always seem better somewhere else.

Ugh
An expression of frustration.

Tried to tell me I could never flllyyyyyy
People doubting my abilities.

I'm up so high that ain't shit around me
Achieving success, but feeling isolated.

So get your money lil nigga
Focus on making money.

Pockets stay swole
Keeping my pockets full from my work.

Know this hoodie still fit cha
Despite changing, I still have roots in my community.

Couldn't get far cuz the hood is still witcha
My past will always be part of me and will hold me back.

Run if you can
If you have the chance, leave the hood behind.

Know the hood'll still getcha
You can't fully escape the influence of your upbringing.

This a tragedy yo
The struggles that people face in life.

You see I couldn't get my masters so I mastered these flows
Despite not having a formal education, I excel in music.

Couldn't work a 9 to 5 so I just had to get dough
Music is my only option for making money.

Can't take no more
I'm fed up with my situation.

Go for broke till police tap on my door
I'll take risks to succeed in music, even if it leads to trouble.

Lord knows
An expression of desperation.

Coke dealers
Drug dealers who are willing to kill for their business.

Living life by the trigger
The dangerous lifestyle of being involved in drugs and violence.

In the streets you by yourself, ain't no one fighting for your interests
No one will help you succeed, you're on your own.

They fighting for your business,
They only care about their own profits.

They don't care if I don't get rich
They're willing to hurt anyone to make money.

I'm just another hoodie left bloody so fuck these niggas
A sentiment of anger and frustration with the system.

This is God given music
My talent is a gift from God.

Trust me, I know you went through it
I understand other people's struggles.

You work so hard to get up out but then yo kids do it
The cycle of struggle continues through generations.

And now they out pushing packs by the ounce
The kids have turned to selling drugs to make money.

Learned it all from in yo house
The negative influence comes from within the family and community.

Feel the beat
The music inspires and fuels me.

Fuckin bounce
An expression of excitement and energy.

This is God given
My music is a talent bestowed upon me by God.

Hard living
The struggles and hardships of life.

Mixed down with hard liquor
Alcohol as a way to cope with life's difficulties.

My nigga, that weight you pushing got your heart skipping
The lifestyle of selling drugs is dangerous and stressful.

And now the nigga from the set done got a gun
The violence and danger of the community.

Said the hoodie you been slanging in's now mine
The stealing of property and resources from others.

You better fucking run
An expression of danger and threat.

I been running from my own demons
Struggling with personal issues and emotions.

Losing patience boy i gotta blow
Feeling frustrated and needing to take action.

I been running for my own reasons
My personal motivation for pursuing music.

Got me drinking thinkng nigga but I gotta know
The stress and anxiety of chasing success.

I gotta know, in 94
Reflecting on a pivotal moment in the past.

Grand papi died on the couch seeing breathing slow
The pain and loss of a family member.

I remember that momma cried sitting on the floor
The emotional impact on the family.

They was looking for my daddy police banging at the door
The added stress and trauma of having a parent involved with the law.

Tell me what you know about the whole setup when you want your own cheddar
The struggle of trying to make it on your own.

When you want them bad bitches but your bitch can do you better
The temptation and risk of infidelity in relationships.

When you wanna be a king n you got yourself Coretta
The struggles of balancing personal relationships with personal ambitions.

And she offer you the world what you scared of, Uh, look in the mirror, uh
Self-reflection on personal fears and insecurities.

And Tell a nigga what you see right
Confronting and accepting personal flaws.

Wanna fly but its better if I never do
Acknowledging the risks and consequences of success.

Then she told me you don't know if you don't never try
Encouragement to take risks and pursue dreams.

Yea, That I could fly if I wanted to
Acknowledging the possibility of success.

Was 22, I was in the loop my nigga
Reflecting on a past time of personal growth.

I was chasing dreams running from myself my nigga
The personal motivation behind pursuing music.

I was running from my problems what to do i figured
Using music as a way to escape personal struggles.

That I run the game better than the PS nigga
Confidence in personal success and talent.

This is heaven sent, plan on flying higher than I ever been
The belief that music is a calling from a higher power, and the desire to achieve greater success.

Crabs in the bucket this is Maryland
The competitive nature and struggles of the music industry.

Know that type of thinking in this region is imperative
The importance of staying true to oneself in a competitive industry.

And if you know of it then them niggas try to run yo shyt, why you been
The constant threat of competition and theft in the music industry.
