I was sad and I was silent
In shadow of my soul
Ever seeking the horizon
For promises untold.
I dream of silent oceans
And I sing of waters blue
With the crossing of angels
Brought forth to guide me through
To a distant shore so welcoming
where I was free to roam
In a land of ancient mystery
That I could call my own
This is me and you
And we are running
To change the world
Where hope is shining through
Gaia's green and blue
And we are running
To save the world
That we're about to lose
We'll be running
Watch it coming
Green is shining through
Love is rising
Worlds colliding
Green is shining through
Can you hear the distant beating
Of passion born of old
Reaching out to far horizons
Of prophecy untold
I will wander through the desert
I will seek you in my hand
In the silence of shadows
In palaces of sand
Then a voice called from the wilderness
Whose spirit held the key
To a world and soul united
[Royce Da 5'9" (Cha Cha)]
(Stick up, stick up) Gangs 'til we play brains
We pick up (pick up) when them thangs spray
This how it goes down in the hood that you can't stay
I'll invite a nigga over then make him leave in the same day
Can you meet her?
I'm talkin bout a chick wit a Coke bottle figure but never the 2-liter
Whatever you choose, especially you
Definitely I rhyme better than who rhymes better than you!
Cause this is your sire, I spit in the fire
Thinkin that I'm fittin to retire? ("BITCH, you a liar!")
Ah-hah! The home of the willest, I'm only the illest
I only'll steal it, phony-est niggaz'll feel it, c'mon widdit
But when the battle is through
It's all-out "Jerry Springer" every arena, I'm on the panel, too
Spit shit for my peeps, shit for the Jeeps
(Stick up, stick up) Strange pick-ups, brains hittin your feet
Stained in ya mayn, listen, change in dissin
(And recognize) You MC's, nothin; you leave with nothin
(And recognize) Fuck it, hold on – I hear somebody comin
("Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, what is his name?") 5-9!
[Chorus]
Can't keep comin around me baby
Make my girls say (OHHHH!)
Can't keep running awayyyy
Give it to me now (RUN)
[Interlude: Cha Cha]
You can't leave, you can't breathe, you can't sleep
Hearts beat's goin - bu-bu-b-b-BUMP!
(It's like) Precious comin, can't turn your back from it
And your heart keeps drummin - bu-bu-b-b-BUMP!
See deep, see the world from beneath
And all you hear is that beat - bu-bu-b-b-BUMP!
(YO!) Evictions (YO!) enrichment (YO!)
Contentment - bu-bu-b-b-BUMP! (YO! YO!)

Cause I bring tracks to life while I kill, cracks
Ladies say (Royce I wanna get with, you!)
And it's cool cause I got a whole (get with) crew
And I hit, writers, right where it hurts
Don't call me no hit, writer; I am a fighter, first

[Chorus]
[Outro: Royce Da 5'9"]
A round of applause for the brand new Mrs. Montgomery
My lil' sister Cha Cha, Rush!
Of course my name is Royce 5'9"
When you think of my name
Think of a fresh new sound
A fresh new face, let's go
Here in the world
feel it flowing
river of life
on a human journey
dont be afraid
of becoming the sea
don't worry yourself
many stories will
be left untold
but understand
everything must go
Slow slow lover
rub you down
we don't want no one
hurting don't make a sound
oh livin' is a journey
walking believing running
for shelter now
slow slow lover
rub you down
we don't want no one
hurting don't make a sound
oh living is a journey
walking believing running
What's that you do
you're running around
there's people that need you
and you're letting down
and when it's time to care
you always leave town
don't hurry yourself
there's some wildness
there and mercy
it's the emptiness we
love touching
Chorus
Give thanks and praise
for good things you found
humble people
not ashames nor proud
and always try to keep
your feet on the ground
and love yourself
Getting off my ass
Getting on my feet
Gotta get going, I'm ready to compete
Keeping the pace
Gonna win the race
I'm running, I'm running, running for my life
I'm running, I'm running, running for my life
Off with a quickstart
Fast as I can go
Make it to the finish line is all I wanna know
Don't wanna be lame
Fonna win the game
I'm running, I'm running, running for my life
Living for the dream
Victory supreme
Winning is all that I like
I'm running, I'm running, running for my life
Running for my life
Living for the dream
Victory's supreme
Run, running all the time
Running to the future
With you right by my side
Me, I'm the one you chose
Out of all the people
You wanted me the most
And I'm so sorry that I've fallen
Help me up, lets keep on running
Don't let me fall out of love
Running, running, as fast as we can
(As fast as we can)
Do you think you'll make it?
(Do you think we'll make it?)
We're running, keep holding my hand
It's so we don't get separated
Be, be the one I need
Be the one I trust most
Don't stop inspiring me
Sometimes it's hard to keep on running
We work so much to keep it going
Don't make me want to give up
Running, running, as fast as we can
(As fast as we can)
I really hope you'll make it
(Do you think we'll make it?)
We're running, keep holding my hand
It's so we don't get separated
Running, as fast as we can
(As fast as we can)
I really hope you'll make it
(Do you think we'll make it?)
We're running, keep holding my hand
It's so we don't get separated
And the future
Running, running, as fast as we can
(As fast as we can)
Do you think you'll make it?
(Do you think we'll make it?)
We're running, keep holding my hand
It's so we don't get separated
Running, as fast as we can
(As fast as we can)
I really hope you'll make it
(Do you think we'll make it?)
We're running, running keep holding my hand
Ready at the line looking out
Looking out to all that's ahead
When every heart
Confesses Your Name
We're pressing on towards that Day
We're never gonna stop
We're never gonna stop
Letting of every mistake
Throwing off the chains of resistant
All that will remain
A passion for Your Name
Burning as we run this race
We're never gonna stop
We're never gonna stop
We're never gonna stop
We're never gonna stop
We are running
Chasing after all that You are
We are running
'Cause all that You are
Is all that we want Lord
Every stride is taken in faith
Every step compelled by Your grace
We're taking up our cross
No matter what the cost
We give it all to go Your way
We're never gonna stop
We're never gonna stop
Onwards we draw towards Your light
Desperate we seek to know You more and more
Further to look beyond ourselves
To Your love
I'm running running from heartbreak
I haven't been running long still it seems like year
One night very soon I know heartbreak will catch me sleeping and so
When I wake up my pillow will be wet with tears
I'm running running from memories
Memories so sweet I must leave them all behind
One day very soon I'm sure I remember more than I can endure
Just thinking of you will drive me right out of my mind
Running running to parties running from girl to girl
Running long as you're running love's a merry word
(Running) uh huh (running and laughing) uh huh
As long as I'm in a crowd I can play the clown
But later when the crowd's all gone when I find myself all alone
I'll run out of places to run and it gets me down
Running to catch up again jumping higher
And flying more often than not
Your trampoline has got holes in it
But I can still see the top
Let me climb aboard and sample some of next years fashion
I'll wear the coat if you can put the hat on
I will wear the coat, just let me clear my throat
So I can say what's been delayed away
Let me crawl into your lap
And just lay here for awhile
Satisfied by your seduction
Like a handshake would do the job
Never know how long I have waited
Anticipated your smile to be pressed against mine
Well, I feel it
(Oh, boy)
And I'm gonna settle tight
She could pour me over this sugar hill or mountain
Until I get hat cool breeze, tight squeeze, I'd do it over again
And I drink from her ever flowing fountain
And then I wake up I comb my hair and I hurry it up
But I arrive late I pack my things and I pick it up
Well, I put down a good amount
Of deodorant this morning
And I found that I could drown
A little bit of peace of mind
'Cause it's no secret that to some degree
They're gonna have to see you sweat
Strong enough for a man just do what you can
To keep me soft and dry, I stink awhile
I don't know anything about those things
I almost don't wanna know anything about those things
And I don't care anything about those things
'Cause if I did you know I'd share myself on those things
And I feel it
And I'll be here all night, I'll pick up the pieces
And I put them back together now
They may not be the right way but that's okay
As long as they're all the same
I wish you well that you'd get better
And I know you'll find that it's a wild world
And if you had noticed
Well, would you have thrown the towel in?
Before I missed out on all this love
And watch me roll away again
Watch me disappear under my skin
I don't believe it that things could get
Any worse than they did that time
You must have seen it, I mean
How could we get lost running in a straight line?
Your cries of why's and why not's
May it all get back to you
And trickle and dance upon your headaches
Years of biting cheeks are through
Words keep
Fallin' out of my pocket
Running late
Missed the train
Everything is dropping
Holding on, to my heart, in a rush I
Almost forgot it
I must admit it, I'm tired
But I'm coming to you
Don't know how far I've got
But I don't care, I'm not gonna
Stop runnin'
'Cause without you
I've got nothin'
I know you're somewhere runnin' straight to me
Don't stop runnin'
Don't stop
Keep on runnin'
Don't stop
Keep on runnin'...
Let's keep
Giving out
Breaking down
I'm falling
Head keeps telling me, this can't be worth all of this
Holding on to my heart, feel the rush
I'm ready to run forever
I'm holding it together
'Cause I'm coming to you
I don't know how far I've got but I don't care
I'm not gonna
Stop runnin'
'Cause without you
I've got nothin'
I know you're somewhere runnin' straight to me
Don't stop runnin'
Don't stop
I got my good shoes
I got my winning, girl, I'm focused
And I'm 'bout to navigate straight to you
And nothing's gonna stop me, girl
To keep me from comin'
'Cause I got to have every part of you forever
I'm runnin', runnin'
Keep runnin', runnin'
Keep runnin'
Keep runnin'
Stop runnin'
'Cause without you
I've got nothing
I know you're somewhere running straight to me
Don't stop runnin'
Don't stop runnin'
'Cause without you
I've got nothin'
I know you're somewhere runnin' straight to me
Don't stop runnin'
Livin' in the city of struggle and strife.
Walking with the dead thinking you're alive.
Screamin' in your head it's time to get away.
Pressure's building up inside your head.
Everywhere you're looking you're seeing red.
One false move and someone's gonna be dead.
RUNNING...You can't hide.
RUNNING...Just to stay alive.
RUNNING...As fast as you can.
Walking in the jungle to the beat of the drums.
While natives be stalkin' you so hide your head.
Creeps be creepin' up on you son.
Better take some money and get a gun.
Then they'll be the ones who better run.
RUNNING... You can't hide.
RUNNING... Just to stay alive.
RUNNING... As fast as you can.
RUNNING... Better keep on running.
This ain't the way it's supposed to be.
You out for you, me out for me.
Livin' in the world of misery.
Why can't there be some unity.
Because I always feel like running
Not away, because there is no such place
Because, if there was I would have found it by now
Because it's easier to run,
Easier than staying and finding out you're the only one...who didn't run
Because running will be the way your life and mine will be described
As in "the long run"
Or as in having given someone a "run for his money"
Or as in "running out of time"
Because running makes me look like everyone else, though I hope there will ever be cause for that
Because I will be running in the other direction, not running for cover
Because if I knew where cover was, I would stay there and never have to run for it
Not running for my life, because I have to be running for something of more value to be running and not in fear
Because the thing I fear cannot be escaped, eluded, avoided, hidden from, protected from, gotten away from,
Not without showing the fear as I see it now
Because closer, clearer, no sir, nearer
Because of you and because of that nice
That you quietly, quickly be causing
And because you're going to see me run soon and because you're going to know why I'm running then
You'll know then
Running used to be the way I passed my time
All over town and just to see what I could find
Every now and then I'd find some company
But every kiss temporary
I tried to tell myself that it was just a game
I'd run again to try and ease that, lonely pain
No matter where I travelled there I'd be
Stuck in those walls of skin called me
And I was just running to find something true
And I'd just be running with nothing to prove
And I kept on running and had nothing to show
Love saw me running and said there he goes
Yeah, you caught my eye one day while I was on a run
Somehow you made me feel my life, had just begun
I'd seen the last of all my roaming days
'Cause I knew from you I'd never run away
Now you've got me running, to get home to you
And my heart keeps running, when I think of things you do
And I won't be running, to no one no more
And I'll see me running and say that's love for sure
I'm not hesitating, as soon as work is done
As fast as my legs can carry me
Mmmmh yeah, life ain't complicated
Oh, no you got only one heart, one joy, one place to be
Now I'm watching people running all around
Chasing after things that'll just, run them down
Life is so much better if they change their ways
I wish I could tell them, but you know I can't stay
'Cause I gotta get running, and get home to you
And my heart keeps running, and I think of things you do
And I won't be running to no one else, no one, no more
Love seen me running and say that's love for sure
And I just keep running, to get home to you
And my heart keeps running ,when I think of things you do
And I won't be running to no one no more
Love see me running and say that's love for sure
Love see me running and say that's love for sure
Hot steamy night alone, I wait for you
Cold brittle morning alone and I cry for you
And when you finally call
You cloak your moves in the shadows
Those days and nights, I was good to you
They must not have meant very much to you
The night I needed you the most
My cries fell on deaf ears
And I'm running so hard to find it
And I'm running so fast
And I'm telling you now to leave me
Our romance cannot last
And if someday I need to see you
I'll come back from the past
I'll come back and find you
I'll never leave you now
Those days and nights, I was good to you
They must not have meant very much to you
The night I needed you the most
My cries fell on deaf ears
Now I don't want to play games with you
But I don't know what to say to you
The digits change so slowly now
I'm going it alone
And I'm running so hard to find it
And I'm running so fast
And I'm telling you now to leave me
Our romance cannot last
And if someday I need to see you
I'll come back from the past
I'll come back and find you
I only wanted the truth, looking into
No more feelings of doubt
Then someone showed me the root of all evil
When all the lights were out
Shallow sleep, just leaning
Am I leaving the game?
I must be dreamin' lots of undercover
Dreams are always the same
When the nights close in
When the nights close
Well it's another night
I waste at the opera
With a permanent friend
I should have taken
Direction much sooner
Another night in the air
If the lights came on
If the lights came on
I'd switch myself
With someone else
Then I'd shake myself
Things start to happen when I
Things start to happen when
Things start
Oh, I can see myself running
But I'm standing still
And I can hear myself screaming
But there's no sound
Oh, when I wake up crying
Life brings me down
But it's not worth losing, until' it's found
Oh, I can see my way home, home
I close my eyes and I'm back by the ocean
My hair feels wet
I'm on the brink of a lifelong ambition
Whatever dream comes next
I'm the seat of a hearse and guess who's driving
I'm with you all the way
I hear the step of a fool, who's coming?
All night, never day
Then the lights come on
The the lights come on
I switch myself
With someone else
Then I shake myself
Things start to happen when I
Things start to happen when
Things start
I can see myself running
But I'm standing still
I can hear myself screaming
But there's no sound
When I wake up crying
Life brings me down
No it's not worth losing, until' it's found
Oh, I can see my way home
I'm at a house, all the windows are broken
It's where I once used to live
I must be losing, all my undercover
Dreaming always the same
I can see myself running
Still
See myself running
I switch myself
Running
I switch myself
Running
I switch myself
Running
I switch myself
Running
I switch myself
Running
Verse 1
Granted I've been a fool before
But I've never felt
So completely insane
I know I've been here before
But I never saw this
For what it really was and
Pre chorus:
I hope that I can get my point across
I hope that I don't lie dormant in the shadows now
I know that I am running as fast as I can
But I know that that's not very fast at all
Chorus:
I am trying so hard to be something
That I just end up being nothing at all
So watch me as I stumble now
Watch me smile as I hit the ground
Verse 2
Every time that I knew the truth
I would just pretend
That I wasn't hiding
I'd tell myself that it's alright
I know myself
I think that's all that matters and
Pre-Chorus:
I hope that I can get my point across
I hope that I don't lie dormant in the shadows now
I know that I am running as fast as I can
And I know that that's not very fast at all
Chorus:
I am trying so hard to be something
That I just end up being nothing at all
So watch me as I stumble now
Watch me smile as I hit the ground
Bridge:
I always expect this
I always see it coming
I love it when it's faltering
I love it when it's failing
I know that there is
Most likely something wrong with that
But it's a part of who I am
At least I think that it might be, anyway...
I'm trying so hard to be something
That I just end up being nothing at all
So watch me as I stumble now
Watch me smile as I hit the ground
I'm trying so hard to be something
That I just end up being nothing at all
So watch me as I stumble now
Watch me smile as I hit the ground...
As I hit the ground...
Words keep falling out of my pocket
Running late, missed the train
Everything is dropping
Holding on to my heart
In a rush, I almost forgot it
I must admit it, I'm tired
But I'm coming to you
Don't know how far I've got
But I know girl I'm not gonna...
Stop running
Cause without you I got nothing
I know you're somewhere running straight to me
Don't stop running no (stop)
Just keep on running (don't stop)
Keep on running
Legs keep giving out
Breaking down, I'm falling
Head keeps telling me
This can't be worth all of this
Holding on to my heart
Feel a rush out, ready to run forever
I'm holding it together
Cause I'm coming to you
Don't know how far I've got
But I don't care I'm not gonna...
Stop running
Cause without you I got nothing
I know you're somewhere running straight to me
Don't stop running no
I got my good shoes,
I got my [? ] girl I'm falling
And I'm about to navigate straight to you (yeah)
Ain't nothing gonna stop me
Girl keep me from running
Cause I got to have every part of you forever
I'm running (running)
Keep running (running)
Keep running, keep running
Stop running
Cause without you I got nothing
I know you're somewhere running straight to me
Don't stop running no
Stop running
Cause without you I got nothing
I know you're somewhere running straight to me
Don't stop running no
When you fall you're fallin' hard
And you won't know what it's gonna be
Next time you end up face down
With you head slightly under your feet
Where will you go when the door finally slumps you out
When you're feelin' a little down
And out
Runnin' from it all
Don't you get a little thought
Lookin' back over your shoulder
Baby soon you'll realize
That it's all in your head but oh no no
Does your kickin' up ever fade away
Someone will pick you up and say
That it's okay
But you're runnin' from it all
I know you think you've got me down
Maybe you just lost yourself and don't know how
It's sometimes all taken out
Won't you take it catch your breath and you'll find out
That you're runnin' from yourself
Runnin' from yourself
Runnin' from yourself
Someday you will open up
Until that day I won't give up
Until you're done
Runnin' from it all
Yeah
Oh oh
My home town is filled with broken dreams
Folks back there are running from life it seems
I left as a young man running from a memory
I'm still running, I'll always be running
My father died a broken man by his own hand
One of life's casualities lost in the sand
He showed us a way to love a way to understand
He's finally stopped running, oh he's finally stopped
running
I can still see the fire in his eyes when he held my
mom tight
The love in his heart when he made it all right
Race in his mind that was never won
So if you're gonna run, what you running from
The years flew by like a runaway train
I never caught up I never got used to change
'Cause change is the only thing that I've ever known
I'm still running, yeah, and I'm still running
I can still see the fire in his eyes when he held my
mom tight
The love in his heart when he made it all right
Race in his mind that was never won
So if you're gonna run, what you running from
With my face to the wind I stand all alone
Scattered memories taking all I own
A families love can help you along
But I'll always be running,
Yeah, I'll always be running
I can still see the fire in his eyes when he held my
mom tight
The love in his heart when he made it all right
Race in his mind that was never won
So if you're gonna run, what you running from
The fire in his eyes when he held my mom tight
The love in his heart when he made it all right
Race in his mind that was never won
Running........(running)......alone.
Waiting........(waiting).....for you to come home
When you're ariving down in my head you are running
I look into the sky and I see you smiling.
I've got thoughts in my head and shivers in my body
I get a feeling that happens to mine
I gotta go where the hell is frozen like my heart...
I'm going back in time.....I'm running for you tonight
Sometimes I feel like I will never lose this tension,
You are my everything, I'm lost without direction
Your love is gone I'm loosing you with all faith away ....
everyday
Running......(running)......alone.
Waiting.......(waiting) .....for you to come home
Crying.........(crying), smiling...........(smiling) ..alone
Waiting........(waiting) ....for you to come home
Running,............(running)......alone.
Waiting.............(waiting) .....for you to come home
Crying.........(crying),smiling .............(smiling) ..alone
Waiting(waiting) for you to come home
Running,............(running)......alone.
Waiting.............(waiting) .....for you to come home
Crying.........(crying),smiling .............(smiling) ..alone
(Hudson/Selover)
Will I ever love again?
IfI do I don't know when
So I'll just pretend you still love me
All my friends will say
The pain will go away
But, that's the price you'll pay for leaving
I want to come running, running
Straight into your arms where I belong
Running, running
Straight into your arms where I belong
And i you ever want me
I'll come running
Everybody knows
That love can come and go
I never thought I'd throw it all away
Every single night
When I turn out all the lights
I make believe that I'm beside you
I want to come running, running
Straight into your arms where I belong
Running, running
Straight into your arms where I belong
And i you ever want me
I'll come running
I know I don't have the right
But, I keep wondering where you are
Ad I, I want you to know
That you're always inside me
Running, running
Straight into your arms where I belong
Running, running
Straight into your arms where I belong
And i you ever want me
you sing for me my friend, brave and confident
and there is comfort between your breaths
a naive sense to help
but when the days beneath me scream into my present
i must always run the race on my own
your warmth is in my bed, your voice above the stairs
when the touching becomes regret
becomes my mercy chair
even when the sun is burning, saving graces
i must always run the race on my own
the sinking and decent of every sailing word
and the destruction of all invention
and all corrupted thought
dig their nails into my optimistic shell

Cause you're from concentrate
You don't know how to keep it straight
When you're around me, around me
So I'mma concentrate on keeping sure
You don't try to come back for more
Running me, running me in circles
Yeah you're doing it, doing it again
Why would you, why would you deny
That we were never friends
We were never friends
We were never friends
Running me, running me in circles
Yeah you're doing it, doing it again
But I can see that obviously in the end
We were never friends
Your eyes hide lies
Lies you'll never tell
You tried keeping me under your spell
Cause you're from concentrate

Too many words, too many lies
I can't quite see the truth
When I look into your eyes
I feel I could
And I know I should
Step away, turn around
Let my feet hit the ground
Running
Running
Running
Running
You don't need a broken heart
To know a heart can be broken
You just need to open your eyes
We don't need to be decieved
To know a lie can be spoken
We don't have to learn everything twice
I don't know, I really don't know
If this castle in the sand
Is strong enough to stand
Clouds come down
Clouds come down
I feel I could
And I know I should
Step away, turn around
Let my feet hit the ground
Running
Running
Running
Running
You don't need a broken heart
To know a heart can be broken
You just need to open your eyes
We don't need to be decieved
To know a lie can be spoken
We don't have to learn everything twice
Cos I know how it feels
All the pain is so real
Cos you sink and you drown
'Till your feet hit the ground
Running
Running
Running
Running
Cos you don't need a broken heart
To know a heart can be broken
You just need to open your eyes
And we don't need a TV show
To show us which way to go
We just need to do what we know
Shouldn't have to cry for you to make me smile
Hey, talking down to me, like i'm your child, ohhh
Shouldn't have to beg ya, ohhh to hear me out, nooo
Shouldn't need another reason, for me to shut you out?
But my heart and my mind are in battle
Chorus:
Loving you is like running, running on the line
It's like I'm chasing down the love, and there's no finish line in sight
I just keep on running, running on the line
and you wonder why I'm so damn tired all the time!
I keep on running,
Feels like I'm running, running on the line
I keep on running,
And you wonder why I'm so damn tired all the time.
What's a little laughter, oh, when it comes with so much pain?
Oh, I'll be here forever, if I wait for you to change, oh.
Oh, oh, I don't know if I can do it, cause I'm running low on fluid.
Can't believe you brought me to this and rip my heart and straight abuse it
What's it gonna take for me to break away?
I really don't know, hey!
Cause my heart and my mind are in battle
Chorus:
Loving you is like running, running on the line
It's like I'm chasing down the love and there's no finish line in sight
I just keep on running, running on the line
And you wonder why I'm so damn tired all the time!
I keep on running,
Feels like I'm running, running on the line
I keep on running,
And you wonder why I'm so damn tired all the time.
Yeah, yeah, we got that color purple love
Running and waving
Saying nothing can keep us from it
That's my woman, but you might fall in love with the youngster
Hipster, someone taller, baller, richer, and locked down
Maybe someone of a different ethinic background, terrific
I wish you the white gown, the garter, white veil, rings and roses
Tiara in your hair like a queen, I toast ya.
told you, lately I'm bingin' on Mercedes Benzes
Lot of my lady friend is getting older
Looking for somebody to cuff them
Rush them to a husband, don't even truly love them.
At their best friend's bridal ceremony, jealous and they lonely, cryin, but they phony
Yo, Fiona, you know me
Yo, We still got time to find real L O V E
Like them lyrics in the real love songs, da oldies, so keep runnin for me
If you're out there listening, Sir Nas don't need a trophy, I need a misses
Trying to get with that wife and kids business
not just arm candy, my dream is to have a family.
All I ever wanted was a love on top.
All I ever needed was a love that's mine
Did you ever really love me or is love so blind
uh, here I go I'm bout to cross the line
Chorus:
running, running on the line, heyyy
It's like I'm chasing down the love and there's no finish line in sight
I just keep on running, running on the line
and you wonder why I'm so damn tired all the time!
I keep on running,
Feels like I'm running, running on the line
I can't keep running,
it's safe to say i'm walking a lot
it's safe to say i'm thinner
it's safe to say if we don't find food soon
we won't make it through winter
i'm walking, i'm running, i'm picking up steam
i'm threatening to explode
i'm going to make it, we're going to make it
before the cows come through
before the cows come through
before the cows come through
it's safe to say i'm walking a lot
it's safe to say i'm thinner
it's safe to say if we don't find food soon
we won't make it through winter
Sing, silent sparrow of the morning
Drown, out the weeping sound of morning
Morning comes
In waves of sorrow
Somber as the day that follows
Still morning comes
Wake, though the heavy feeling lingers
Catch, and release it in your fingers
Then let go
Morning comes
In waves of sorrow
Somber as the day that follows
Still morning comes
And I'll never forget you dear
When the sun appears
You'll be my light
And though it wasn't said my dear
Every moment here
You'll be my life
Morning comes
In waves of sorrow
Somber as the day that follows
Still morning comes
Poison arrows press and pierce my skin,
when Autumn comes,
I lose my faith again,
You know I'm on the run,
Come with me you just might have some fun,
Follow me from St. Paul to Scottsdale,
down to Mexico, Running,
All The Way from St. Paul to Scottsdale,
down to Mexico, Running,
I traveled far and shed so many tears,
and nothing really scares me more than fear,
You know I'm on the run,
Come with me youst might have some fun,
Follow me from St. Paul to Scottsdale,
down to Mexico, Running,
All The Way from St. Paul to Scottsdale,
down to Mexico, Running,
And when I get away,
You know I'm gone,
and when I finally escape,
I'm running on.
Follow me from St. Paul to Scottsdale,
down to Mexico, Running,
All The Way from St. Paul to Scottsdale,
down to Mexico, Running,
[x2]
down to Mexico, Running.
Yeah, yeah, come on.
Woah-oh, woah-oh, oh!
See, sometimes you gotta
Fight for the one you love.
Some people don't let you know.
This is gonna let you know.
[Verse 1:]
I'm not patiently waiting.
Fellas tryna get in my way.
I'm so anxious.
Tryna figure out how I'm gonna get to you.
See, girl, I'm tellin' you there's no other dude,
That can do what I do, oh, girl...

Now, you know what I'm talkin' about.
Already a better me, a better love.
But, about you and me? A better us.

Tryna get the keys to your door.
Whatever you need, girl, I'm a be.
Just to get you right next to me...
[Chorus:]

I can't breathe.
I think that I should let you know.

Runnin' [x4] back to you, girl.
Runnin' [x4] back to you, girl.
Runnin' [x4] back to you, girl.
I think that I should let you know.
[Verse 2:]
Baby, I know that I can't get right.
What if I met you in another life?
We could be together.
There can be no other.
What if it's all about me and you?
Now, think about it. Aye, aye.
Now, be about it.
I've searched my whole life for the perfect move.
Baby, what should I do?
[Hook:]
I ain't tryna play the sidelines no more.
Tryna get the keys to your door.
Whatever you need, girl, I'm a be.
Just to get you right next to me...
[Chorus:]
I can't stop.

Girl, I just gotta let you know.

Just to get close to you?
Now, tell me, girl. [x4]
Now, tell me what should I do
To get back with you?
Now, tell me, girl. [x4]
Woah-ohh, oh yeah.
[Chorus:]

AFRAID OF, THIS IS YOUR BIG DAY, LOVE
YA FINALLY MADE THE GRADE
THE INNER CIRCLE HAS CHANGED
THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED
READY TO BE HITTING THE HIGH
THE SWEAT WILL BE STINGING YOUR EYES
I CAN TELL YOUR WASTING MY TIME
YOU GOT ME RUNNING LIKE
OUR FATHERS DID LOSING THEIR MINDS
YOUR HEART IS PUMPING EVEN HARDER
LIKE TWO SOULS ENTWINED
YOU GOT ME RUNNING
FROM THE SUFFERING, LEAVE IT BEHIND
THE TYPE OF RUNNING THAT WILL ONLY SETTLE
WHEN WE CAN FIND
WHOS YOUR ALIBI
HAVE YOU CHANGED LOVE
WITH FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME LOVE
IS IT POSSIBLE TO STAGE
NOT KNOWING ANYONES NAME
YOU FAKED THE WAY THIS TIME
KILLED TO HAVE THIS NEEDED
READY TO BE HITTING THAT HIGH
ILL CAPTURE YOUR DISGUISE
CHORUS
YOU GOT ME RUNNING X4
You always smile, But there?s a frown, inside.
Travel a mile, to capture a crown, Only to hide.
What are you running, running from?
What is it you escape?
What are you running, running from?
You could be so great.
Running again, must feel like sin.
For the wear on your soul, Has taken a toll.
[Chorus]
Splacka splacka, splacka splacka, splacka splacka
Shot him anyway, motherfucker I don't play
They in the woods with clubs and candles understand G
They in the woods with clubs and candles understand G
I gotta move baby, baby gotta get the hell on
I gotta move baby, baby gotta get the hell on
Point it at the crowd and commence to splacking
Point it at the crowd and commence to splacking
I got a mission to six to hook up with some tricks
Them hoes wanna help out a nigga on his spliff
So I pull up at the hotel room with no guilt
Thinking if I'm gone get away or if I'm gone get kilt
But fuck it, I gotta do it, my pockets kind of brown
So I kick in the door and lay the motherfucker down
Don't budge, don't breathe, don't even make the slightest noise
If you do motherfucker, I'm putting a six to your boys
Splacka splacka, splacka splacka, splacka splacka
Shot him anyway, motherfucker I don't play yeah
Tied up the motherfucker onto the chair
Then have thoughts of killing him, just leaving him right there
Some more niggas came in, I said fuck it, lets fiend him
Pop the nigga in the chair and then I ran with the caprice
Now I'm on the run, straight up I gotta go
Through the window and then I fell with the hoes
[Chorus]
Now I'm riding with these two hoes thinkin that I'm stuck
Then they pull to the side and they ask for they cut
Now ain't this a bitch, what the fuck I'm gone do
I got the gat from the back and I bust them hoes too
Took them out in the field, headed to my niggas house
I got blood into the seat, dippin to the south
And I hope I don't run into College Park or East Point
Couldn't pick up no wealth, but I got papers for a joint
Then I ride east and made a right on Washington Road
I caught a wicked ass thought and a light in my nose
I'm thinking of these motherfuckers that used to be down with me
They in the woods with clubs and candles understand G
So I crept on in, and caught the niggas sleeping good
What the fuck, East Point controlling the hood
I gotta get the hell on and make my escape
But then leave the motherfuckers, got caught by the gate
[x8]
They in the woods with clubs and candles understand G
At the apartments, I'm headed for the highway
I got plenty faith in this shit, it's going my way
I was laid back, cooling, like I went to Missourch??
Outside were the boys of the niggas that I jacked there first
I made a left, the hell on with a joint in my mouth
I'm rolling fast as fuck, towards 85 South
Policed the other motherfuckers, then other motherfuckers
Trying to take me down, but I refuse to hit the ground
I gotta move baby, baby gotta get the hell on
Before these motherfuckers try to take me up in the zone
I got herbs and curbs everywhere, I should be bendin
I got a feeling it's gonna be a fucked up ending
I got a flat, my chins broke with all these foes behind me
Only thought in my mind was to get the nine G
I got up out the car with the gat but have my back
Point it at the crowd and commence to splackin
[repeat until fade]
Point it at the crowd and commence to splackin [x4]
I gotta move baby, baby gotta get the hell on [x2]
Your words alone, could drive me to
A thousand tears,
All the same words, that kept me here
For all the years
I'm lost again, it's happening
When you're around I just go away
All I wanna know, is it mutual
Then I never want to leave
Then I'm ready to run, ready to fall
Think I'm ready to loose it all
Then I'm ready to run, ready to fall
Think I'm ready to loose it all
Keep me running, you keep me running
Keep me running, you keep me running
Keep me running, you keep me running
Keep me running, you keep me running, you
Whoa, would you hold my hand like the air it's so gently here
Never give up, never give up
Whoa, would you pull me closer and nobody knows we're there
No one can find us
I'm lost again, it's happening
When you're around I just go away
All I wanna know, is it mutual
Then I never want to leave
Then I'm ready to run, ready to fall
Think I'm ready to loose it all
Then I'm ready to run, ready to fall
Think I'm ready to loose it all
Keep me running, you keep me running
Keep me running, you keep me running
Keep me running, you keep me running
Keep me running, you keep me running, you
You keep me, keep me running, me running
And I'm lost again, it's happening
When you're around I just go away
All I wanna know, is it mutual
Then I never want to leave
Then I'm ready to run, ready to fall
Think I'm ready to loose it all
Then I'm ready to run, ready to fall
Think I'm ready to loose it all
Keep me running, you keep me running
Keep me running, you keep me running
Keep me running, you keep me running
Keep me running, you keep me running,
We belong to each other
And we are the people
Sharing all different races
'Cause we are all equal
Can't forget there's a fight now
We don't need a sequel
We just gotta keep moving
Supporting is crucial
So get ready I'm running
Yes I'm running for the right now
Can't stop me 'cause I'm running (Running)
Yes I'm running for the fight now
Won't stop me 'cause I'm running (I'm running)
Hey, hey, hey...
Can't stop me 'cause I'm running (Running)
Hey, hey, hey...
Won't stop me 'cause I'm running
Our liberty and our freedom
Is what we should stand for
The situation is hostile
And people need answer
Seconds away from rebellion
We gotta do something
Everyone knows you can change this
But you keep on hiding and denying
'Cause I'm running
Yes I'm running for the right now
Can't stop me 'cause I'm running (Running)
Yes I'm running for the fight now
Won't stop me 'cause I'm running (I'm running)
Hey, hey, hey...
Can't stop me 'cause I'm running (Running)
Hey, hey, hey...
Won't stop me 'cause I'm running
Running for the right for revolution
Running 'cause it's time for evolution
Running running for our heart
Running running time to start
You and I we're gonna be (?) now
Me and you we're running for the dream now
Running running for out heart
Running running for our love
'Cause I'm running
Yes I'm running for the right now
Can't stop me 'cause I'm running (Running)
Yes I'm running for the fight now
Won't stop me 'cause I'm running (I'm running)
Hey, hey, hey...
Can't stop me 'cause I'm running (Running)
Hey, hey, hey...
Throw the paper away,
Leave a note where you last layed down.
The garden bleeds through the morning,
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Ooh, ooh.
Without love, I'm still running to you.
I stop breathing when you started letting go,
In my mind I hear you calling it out,
Without love, I'm still running to you.
Scan the eyes over dark skies,
Flowers bloom over foreign fields.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Ooh, ooh.
Without love, I'm still running to you.
I stop breathing when you started letting go,
In my mind I hear you calling it out,
Without love, I'm still running to you.
I think I will sit and wait for a while.
You know I've tried (x2)
Without love, I'm still running to you.
I stop breathing when you started letting go,
In my mind I hear you calling it out,
Without love, I'm still running to you.
In the dark, I'm still running to you
I stop breathing when you started letting go,
In my mind I hear you calling it out,
Running in the steets...
Running just for you...
Running in the streets just to find you

Running for faith
you come around say ‘i need you'
you come around say ‘i need you' would you
come be with me would you want to?
come be with me would you want to?
would you?
up in the morning and the rain keeps falling.
home in the evening and you're still not calling.
we try to move, but we keep on falling down,
down...
and, all these things that we don't say
and, all these things that we don't say, won't say
when will we see it's the wrong way?
when will we see it's the wrong way?
there's way
too many reasons to ignore this surely.
i'm bound to tell you how i feel so poorly.
but i'm over running with this same old story now.
and i've been running with my sights on you
and i'll keep running ‘til this day gets through
i got no money on me, yes that's true
we just keep running
we get up in the morning and we walk outside
this world we're living in is just no run, no hide
they never would believe me if i say we tried
I fall into pieces don't wanna stand another round
Not getting used to that money makes the world go around
I can't believe it there's no other way, money makes the world go around
Running I'm running far away and there is no one to stop me 'cause I don't care
I do believe there's s nothing money can't break down
And I am getting used to that money makes the world go around
Running I am running far and there is no one to stop me 'cause I don't care
I got my own way my own direction I can feel it every single day
Don't want to stay there what am I waiting no one cares about me anyway
Hard work is killing me, I ain’t got no time for a family
I’m running under stress, on a road to madness,
Running destroys my health (what are you running after?)
Running destroys my wealth (what are you running after?)
Running destroys my life (so why are you running after it?)
I wake up at 7 in the morning, I go to bed at 1 am at night
Everyday is the same routine, every night is the same night
Running destroys my health (what are you running after?)
Running destroys my wealth (what are you running after?)
Running destroys my life (so why are you running after it?)
It’s not alright, it’s not alright,
It’s not alright, it’s not alright,
It’s not alright, it’s not alright,
Running destroys my health (what are you running after?)
Running destroys my wealth (what are you running after?)
Days feel like minutes
A lifetime is rushing by
You are moving in circles
It seems you're going nowhere
Keep moving, keep moving
At night you can't find sleep
And your headaches don't go away
Always giving your best
Knowing it won't be near enough
Keep moving, keep moving
Always keep moving
Or be removed
So what is that mission we're on
And when did I sign in
Is there anything in it for me at all
Still lies the ocean wide
And I hear it's calling me
To a place beyond wrong and right
Where the sky meets the sea
There's a deadline approaching
Your tax statement's overdue
An invoice unsettled
And too many bills to be paid
Keep pushing, keep pushing
There's a loan from the bank
A sales-target out of reach
A project waiting in the pipeline
And another one unfinished still
Keep pushing, keep pushing
Always keep pushing
Or be pushed around
So what is that mission we're on
And when did I sign in
Is there anything in it for me at all
Still lies the ocean wide
And I hear it's calling me
To a place beyond wrong and right
Where the sky meets the sea
Still lies the ocean deep
Such grace never met the eye
A whole world in peaceful sleep
Under a star covered sky
It's a rat race we're in
And this game that we play
Has no winner, just losers
Or total refusers that just break away
All your friends feel neglected
And your wife says that you don't care
And they all have a point
But there is a job to be done
Keep running, keep running
Always keep running
Until your time has run out
So what is that mission we're on
And when did I sign in
Is there anything in it for me at all
Still lies the ocean wide
And I hear it's calling me
To a place beyond wrong and right
Where the sky meets the sea
Still lies the ocean deep
Such grace never met the eye
A whole world in peaceful sleep
