Runnin' Lyrics

I got the new world in my view
On my journey I pursue
I said I'm running, running for the city
I got the new world in my view
I got the new world in my view
On my journey I pursue
Lord said I'm running, running for the city
I got the new world in my view

They ain't got no muscle, no hustle
No backbone, I stand alone
Not tripping, just saying, I'm different
Ain't hanging on the coattails of the next man
Passport in my left hand, thinking that you are next
Heck, hope you ain't holding your breath, man
'Cause I'm out here, I'm hungry, I don't play around, trust me

Ain't hexed my drive since my Honda Civic got rusty
And my girl said she loved me, it's funny
Thinking back, study hard for that 9 to 5
Like I thought that I'd be good with that
I was dreaming, still dreaming, spoiled it on me like Willie Beanie
Sip it for me like cappuccino, we stuck around in tuxedos
With my peoples, we growing up 'stead of seeing others slowing up

Ten squad, we thought we know every time that we showing up
Get it while I'm living
All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, ticking
So I'm 'bout my business
And I'm running, I'm running
I'm running with them, yeah
They don't wanna give it up

We don't make them ask it
Get it while I'm living
All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, ticking
So I'm 'bout my business
And I'm running, I'm running
I'm running with them, yeah

They don't wanna give it up
We don't make them ask it
Beats don't get no greater, feel like I'm on fire
Feel like I'm John Storm, feel like I'm volatile
Explosive, get close enough to notice
Your girl act out a character when she see me approaching
And pouching I'm just saying it's nothing
You punching above your weight, I'm something
She ain't seen no substitute in that A team
That's BA, barracks, that BS, that whackness
Get no play in my axis, make 'em jump like AJ Hackett

Guarantee you in these boots they couldn't walk one mile
I really need to go and hang it up like a drunk god
So behind the times they should probably rock till sun down
Shattering their dreams, I could make big puns small
Music from the soul, don't need them to help me

If they fiending for the flash, they should take another selfie
Said I'm running, I'm running like no pharaoh so deep
The whole world could go against me, it don't matter, man
Get it while I'm living
All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, ticking
So I'm 'bout my business
And I'm running, I'm running
I'm running with them, yeah
They don't wanna give it up

We don't make them ask it
Get it while I'm living
All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, ticking
So I'm 'bout my business

And I'm running, I'm running
I'm running with them, yeah
They don't wanna give it up
We don't make them ask it

The chase
Won't wait another day
All is falling into place

We ain't got much to lose
I wanna taste
Won't wait another day
All is falling into place
We ain't got much to lose
Get it while I'm living
All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, ticking
So I'm 'bout my business
And I'm running, I'm running
I'm running with them, yeah
They don't wanna give it up
We don't make them ask it
Get it while I'm living
All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, ticking
So I'm 'bout my business
And I'm running, I'm running
I'm running with them, yeah
They don't wanna give it up
We don't make them ask it
