I don't always get the accommodations I would need to get the job done. But I get the job done. And nothing stops me from getting what I want.
lyrics
VERSE 1:
By way of a monster, lost is not specific
Losing not an option when my COLOR is my business
Little pieces here and there
Not a lot of details
I can tell you're tired
A hoverboard don't need wheels
Far beyond the finish line
To stop's a cruel intention
There's always a lot of love, relationship's what's missing
BLUE's my only guide
The only thing I ever work off
And I still got what got me here in case the bottom falls off
To me it's only yesterday
Life is but a dream and
I stop living years ago
BLUE is all I see
And I'm walking with an angry stick
Beating at the ground
And the words I never got to say
Dance over the sounds
CHORUS:
I'm always on the run
(On the run)
So I just leave my shoes on
(I just leave me shoes on)
When I'm tryna touch the sky
(touch the sky)
I just take the roof off
(I just take the roof off)
I'm always on the run
(On the run)
So I just leave my shoes on
(I just leave me shoes on)
When I'm tryna touch the sky
(touch the sky)
I just take the roof off
(I just take the roof off)
VERSE 2:
Bigger house
Bigger squad
Bigger rims on the car
Some eat to survive without hunger you starve
In the streets cause we lost
Forgotten by the gods
Both hands in the air when we reach for the stars
We grip for the sky cause nothing down here for us
Or at least our piece of the world is all garbage
And no one gives porridge
Cold or hot
We eat everyday and for that gold we lock,
load, aim, and steady
Shooting for the top
You got yours already
But you aint tryna stop
Its not about the problems those we got plenty
Its about the hours
15 for pennies
Working is silly cause we just getting by
Stressed out cause rent's due and we a few hundred shy
All we need is one week they won't give us no time
And it's a crowded ass room, we at the end of the line
But you at home chilling
Plasma screening it out
Got cha basement remodeled theatre in the house
They got your office up front and they got us in the back
You got the weekends off, we aint never heard of that
CHORUS:
I'm always on the run
(On the run)
So I just leave my shoes on
(I just leave me shoes on)
When I'm tryna touch the sky
(touch the sky)
I just take the roof off
(I just take the roof off)
I'm always on the run
(On the run)
So I just leave my shoes on
(I just leave me shoes on)
When I'm tryna touch the sky
(touch the sky)
I just take the roof off
(I just take the roof off)
