Shanell Ft. Lil Wayne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The loser microphone abuser
Feet hurtin' I just walked from Jerusalem
So you should get on the side with the movement
I'm the proofs and I'll die just to prove it
Whatcha wanna know? Anything whatever.
I can show ya better
Me and my gun, we took an oath together
Said I will never die, if we both together
Yeah, this is my testification
I'm Wayne on their hands like precipitation
And in hell you, you need justification
But, but for me it was just a vacation
Somebody tell me when's it gonna end
Where's it gonna end up
Runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin'
Run it all
When's it gonna end
Where's it gonna end up
Runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin'
Run it all
I lost all my money
I lost half my mind
Can't find my direction
Where's the finish line
Could I be far away from it all
How far to go
If I can stay for it all
Then I shouldn't fall.
But if I fall I fall up
And let the clouds hug me
And if I fall down
I bet I hit the ground runnin'
Bet you search and found nothing
Looking for the finish line
Stop short cuttin'
You f***ing up your finish time
S***, but every twice in a while
It feels like I'm runnin'
And life is the miles
Yeah, but until the lights dimmin' down
I'll be runnin' 'round
Runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin'
(Oh, will you tell)
Somebody tell me when's it gonna end
Where's it gonna end up
Runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin'
Run it all
When's it gonna end
Where's it gonna end up
Runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin'
Run it all
Counting all my pennies but it doesn't add up
At the mercy but somehow it ain't enough
Reading all the red lights trying not to give up
But I don't know how long it's gonna last all
It's almost over now
I say it's almost over now
The end is gettin' closer now
Better do what you suppose to cause
The world is all so short
Somebody tell me when's it gonna end
Where's it gonna end up
Runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin'
Run it all
When's it gonna end
Where's it gonna end up
Runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin'
Run it all
When's it gonna end
Where's it gonna end
Runnin'
Run it all
Yeah I'm runnin' outta time
I'm runnin' out of space
Fell like I'm runnin' round
But I'm runnin' in place
We all in the race
I'm just another sprinter
If there's no finish line
Then who's the real winner?
In "Runninβ" by Shanell featuring Lil Wayne, the artists express the difficulties theyβve encountered in their lives and careers. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, where Lil Wayne declares that he's the one who provides proof of his abilities and will not give up. He speaks about the struggle he goes through and his commitment to his art, exemplified by his relationship with his gun, which he describes as an inseparable duo.
Shanell goes on to speak about the whole process of running, explaining that she may lose her mind, and how she's trying hard to stay focused to find the finish line.

Wayne's rebirth album was so underrated. It generally received negative feedback from critcs. I would have personally given wayne an A+ for this album, he introduced a lot of sentiment in it, and also managed to combine hip hop and rock flawlessly
@blaccxxsnorlax8004
Wayne changed my life I swear no one understand how much his music affected me no matter from suicide and caring what people thought of me Wayne was him and when he's gone people really gonna see how rare Wayne is

Wayne has done what other rappers haven't done before especially dropping a rock album.. People should stop comparing Young Thug to this legend for real..
