I got M’s in my bank account look at where i’m at (look at where i’m at)
I got shooters on the roof 9 shots with the gat

Had to get the bag like a running back but I run it back
I got M’s in my bank account look at where i’m at (look at where i’m at)
I got shooters on the roof 9 shots with the gat

Get the cash man i had to run it back
I got shooters all around me, you know we pull in with gats
hop up in that new Nascar Lil Beanie did the dash
Yea you know I’m in the bank, you know I’m countin my stash
I’m a big baller
I’m feelin proper got Givenchy up on my fuckin collar

countin up my blessings like Capistrano in Ferragamo pullin up in Nardo Gallardos I’m on a roll, you pussies can’t even catch it,
hop up in a G650 Versace sheets on the mattress
When I’m going through security LV’s upon the baggage

Had to get the bag like a running back but I run it back
I got M’s in my bank account look at where i’m at (look at where i’m at)
I got shooters on the roof 9 shots with the gat
I got all designer on me

Had to get the bag like a running back but I run it back

Rhodes's song "Run" speaks about a sudden and unexpected love that he did not anticipate. The opening line "Where on earth did you come from / Right out of the blue" indicates the surprising nature of this encounter. He thought he had moved on from love or that his heart had given up on it. However, this person appears and changes everything. He is both excited and guarded, as he hadn't "counted on" someone entering his life in such a way.
The chorus highlights his attempt to push away this love despite how the person is making him feel. He thinks to himself: "The more I run away from you / The closer you get." This internal struggle displays his confusion and vulnerability towards love. He's been hurt before and wants to avoid repeating that same mistake. He then asks the question "And what gave you the right / To prove me so wrong" which suggests a sense of resentment towards this person for showing him what he did not believe in anymore.
The final lines reveal that he was not keen on writing another love song because it felt too cliche or perhaps because it was too painful to confront such honest feelings. However, the chorus repeats the more he runs, the closer the person gets, which indicates his dilemma of wanting to be with them and wanting to avoid love altogether.

Adroaldo Lopera
Do you, remember when we used to run?
Sometimes i think alone,
I dream under the sun
And i know, it's a long long time ago now
But i missed, missed so
Hold, hold me down ...
Hold, hold on to your side
Oh why do we run, oh run
So far from each other
Always in love, oh love
So hard to remember
But i'm tired now
Tired of grow
We never did, we never did walk alone
So hold, hold me down ....
Hold, hold on to your side
So far from each other
Always in love, oh love
So hard to remember
In the silence
Where your heart beats in mine
And you thought you might disguese ....
Oh why do we run, oh run
So far from each other
Always in love, oh love
So hard to remember.

Do you
Remember when we used to run?
Sometimes I think alone
I dream under the sun
And I know
It's a long, long time ago now
But I miss it, I miss it so
Hold, hold down the world
Hold, hold on to your sun
Oh why do we run, run, run
So far from each other?
Oh is it love, love, love?
So hard to remember
Well I'm tired now
Tired now I've grown
We never did
We never did walk alone, did we?
So hold, hold down the world
Hold, hold on to your sun
Oh why do we run, run, run
So far from each other?
Oh is it love, love, love?
So hard to remember
And the silence of your heart
It beats in mine
And you thought it might disguise
The parting line
Oh why do we run, run, run
So far from each other?
Oh is it love, love, love?
So hard to remember
Oh why do we run, run, run
So far from each other?
Oh is it love, love, love?
So hard to remember
José Coelho
Do you remember when we used to run
Sometimes I think alone
I dream over the side
And I know, it's a long long time ago now.
And I miss it. Miss it so.
Hold it. Hold down to the word.
Hold on to yourself.
The way we run so far from each other
Why is it love, love. So hard do remember.
And I'm tired now. Tired of growing.
We never did, we never did walk alone anyway.
So hold. Hold down for us.
So hold. Hold down to yourself.
Oh the way that we run. So far from each other.
Oh why is it love, love, love. So hard to remember.
In the silence of your hearth beats your mind.
And you though you might disguise them from mine.
Oh why do we run, run, run. So far from each other.
Oh is it love, so hard to remember.
Agata Samulska
Every time I listen to him I am speechless. His music is exactly what I've always been looking for.
Ella Farner
Your music sounds as if it was created by god himslef, it sets my heart on fire it is so truly beautiful. When I was in London I wanted to go see you on a festival but there were no tickets left. I am hoping, since the day I discovered you for myself, that your going on a tour through Europe and that if you do, you will not miss Switzerland! Otherwise I have to go to England again and see you there because I fell in love with your music. Keep going your doing great. And if you get more famous, the people out there will discover the beauty of your music, same as I did a while ago.
Daniel Bradford
