Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Tony Grammz get 'em
Haa!
I'm back wit' the Nikes on
Tread-milling swag 'cause I run it like marathon
They never can fight the son
They wanna be lookin' at me like I owe them some'ing
I'm taking shots like I'm Kobe wit' a torn Achilles
Here till we finish this, we in this
Push to start
Ain't no key in this, serious
We are not giving up
They want us to die down so we live it up
There's honestly a lot of things that we taking for granted and miss in these synagogues
Torn spirits from the Lord's gifted
Got your judgmental looks core shifted
With the church looking like it's sole purpose
Is to pimp out all these soul's feelin's
You get up, you get in that temple
You kneel and you bow wit' some words off your mental
Essential to livin' for Jesus
Your heart is in sheets wit' your secret new mistress asleep
I said it
You livin' for God or your Reverend?
I'm here for the people too lost in the sauce they forget the chef in the kitchen's the Potter

(Yeah yeah yeah)
It gets better, I got wiser
Tucking in my pride
Maximizing my meditation
Humbling my vibe
Eliminating all my struggles with my grind
Without true support
Just being a super sport
I added muscle to my drive and I'ma ride uh
Even though the cycles easy to miss
You just stuck on having babies wit' different women
While you leave your wife and your kids
True story bruh
Ain't no runnin' from the man in the mirror
You still runnin' from the liquor
Your liver's a testament
To all sin the forgiver is ready to live wit'
He died for His witnesses
You know we ain't never number two
(Yeah yeah yeah)
Gotta keep that focus on you
(Yeah yeah yeah)
Over here no mediocre
(Yeah yeah yeah)

Keep on runnin'
(Yeah yeah yeah)
Keep on going baby girl
Keep on runnin'
(Yeah yeah yeah)
They gon' think I won a Grammy
They gon' think I won a Grammy
I stand out, I don't blend in
When I'm runnin', they can't stand me
Runnin' pretty fast yeah
Foot up on the gas yeah
Runnin' like I'm on of those
Faces on the cash yeah
Like whoa
Tell 'em what to do
I was in the back tryin'a fit my shoes
Never stopping for a red light
Yeah yeah yeah
Keep on running to your dream like
Yeah yeah yeah
I'm Runnin'
You know the word of God says
Over all these things
You have supernatural power
But on this one thing
I tell you
Run
