RUNNING

Verse 1:
DEARLY BELOVED
WHERE YOU RUNNING
SEE YOU BOLTIN
YOU SEEM LOST WITH NO CONTROL AND
WHAT YOU CHASING?
WHERE YOU GOING?
YOU STAY WITH RUNNING SHOES
ALWAYS ONTO SOMETHING NEW
I WONDER WHAT IS FUN FOR YOU
THE CHASE OR SOMEONE CHASING YOU
COMMITMENT ISSUES
WITH ANYTHING THAT’S OFFICIAL
BUT YET YOU STILL CONTINUE
PLAYING ROULLETTE WITH YOUR PISTOLS
SOME FEAR THE SPEED
BUT YOU NEED
THE WIND UP IN YOUR FACE
YOU NEED AN OPEN ROAD
THE ONLY ROAD THAT GIVES YOU SPACE
SO THEN YOU WALK ALONE
BUT HATE IT, THERE’S NO ONE TO RACE
IT’S A CYCLE YOU RECYCLE
FIND, BIND, THEN REPLACE
CAUSE SLOWING DOWN
HOLDS YOU DOWN OR SO YOU THINK
CAUSE YOU’RE AFRAID TO STOP, AFRAID TO DROP
AFRAID TO SINK
BUT KEEP ON RUNNIN
YOU WILL RUN INTO SOMETHING
SOMETHING THAT PULLS YOU IN
SOMETHING YOU CANNOT RUN FROM
YOU CANNOT FIX THIS, NO
YOU CANNOT RID THIS, NO
YOU NEED HIS BLOOD
YOU NEED HIS CROSS
TO BE YOUR RIDDEX THOUGH

CHORUS:
NAKEYA’S POETRY

VERSE 2:

DEARLY BELOVED
WHERE YOU RUNNIN
WHERE YOU HEADED
COOL YOUR JETS
BEFORE YOU TAKE OFF & YOU CRASH THEN YOU REGRET IT
YOU’RE CHASING SKIES
CHASING CLOUDS & CHASING HIGHS
THROUGH THESE NEEDLES
THROUGH THESE LIGHTERS, THROUGH THE SMOKE, AND THROUGH THESE PIPES
IT ALL STARTED
IN YOUR ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT
WHEN YOUR FRIEND GAVE YOU SOME POWDER
FOR YOUR NOSE TO BE THE TARGET
YOU SNIFFED IT THEN INHALED IT
LOVED IT WHEN YOU FELT IT
BUT IT DIED
AND NOW YOU TRY TO QUIT BUT YOURE ADDICTED AND CANT HELP IT
THEY BLAME AND CURSE YOU CAUSE
THEY TRIED TO NURSE YOU BUT
YOU STOLE THEIR JOY, YOU STOLE THEIR HOPE, AND MONEY OUR THEIR PURSES
YOURE BURNING BRIDGES
WHILE YOURE TRYNA MEND YOUR STITCHES
BUT YOU CANNOT DO IT SO JUST QUIT IT
GIVE IT
TO JESUS, HE’LL RIP IT
JUST CALL HIS NAME OUT, YEAH
JUST CALL HIS NAME OUT, YEAH
HE’LL TAKE THE PAIN, HE’LL TAKE THE PAIN
THE SHAME AND THE DOUBT
YOU CANNOT FIX THIS, NO
YOU CANNOT RID THIS, NO
YOU NEED HIS BLOOD
YOU NEED CROSS
TO BE YOUR RIDDEX THOUGH

Nakeyas poetry

Verse 3:

DEARLY BELOVED
WHERE YOU RUNNING
WHERE YOU FLYING
YOU’VE BEEN IN THIS DANCE FOR TOO LONG
GRINDING WITH TOO MANY GUYS
WHO YA THINK YOUR FOOLIN
USING SEX FOR ALL YOUR TOOLS
TYING SOULS
WITH NO CONTROL
YOU ROCK AND ROLL IN ALL YOUR RUIN
IT STARTED AT THE AGE OF 7
WHEN YOUR OLDER COUSIN DEVON
CAME INTO YOUR ROOM AND USED HIS TOOL-
AS A WEAPON
SO NOW YOU’RE IN THESE STREETS
SELLING GOODIES
TO THESE WOODIES
BUT YOU HATE IT
WANNA LEAVE IT BUT DEBATE IT
SO YOU STAY IN
ITS HARD TO FACE THE TRUTH
EMBRACE YOUR ROOTS
LETS FACE IT, YOU’RE A MESS THAT’S LOOSE
AND NO ONE HIRES
NOONE HIRES PROSTITUTES
BUT YOU ARE WRONG HONEY
YEAH, YOURE WRONG HONEY
I KNOW SOMEONE WHO CAN ERASE ALL OF THAT WRONG HONEY
CAUSE IF YOU CHASE HIM
HE’LL REPLACE THEM WITH HIS GRACE
AND THEN HE’LL LOVE YOU WITH HIS PATIENCE
IM JUST SAYIN, GOD’S AMAZING
YOU CANNOT FIX THIS, NO
YOU CANNOT RID THIS, NO
YOU NEED HIS BLOOD
YOU NEED CROSS
TO BE YOUR RIDDEX THOUGH

BRIDGE:
ALL WE WANNA DO IS TAKE CHAINS OFF
ALL WE WANA DO IS BE FREE (2X)

CHORUS
