[Intro]
Gotta keep me, gotta keep me, runnin runnin runnin
Gotta keep me, gotta keep me, runnin runnin runnin

[Verse 1]
I'm Working slavin but I'm making
Gotta make my money money
Gotta make my money money
Gotta make my money money
Life doesn't seem to want, anything else from me
I'm wanting escaping but I'm making
Gotta make my money money
Gotta make my money money
Gotta make my money money
But I can't take no more, I wanna keep runnin runnin

[Chorus]
Gotta keep me runnin runnin runnin
Gotta keep me runnin runnin runnin
Gotta keep me runnin runnin runnin

My nails are black, clawing the earth
Digging my body out of the dirt
I'm a slave,
money's the chains
I'm stepping back, close to the edge
I think I might go jump off this instead
Fight or flight
I gotta be done with this tonight

Gotta keep me runnin runnin runnin (x3)
Gotta keep me runnin

[Verse 2]
Waxing waning I don't feel here
I'm insecure and its insincere
All I see, more and more
Less and less then they slam the door
I feel depressed and it's all a chore
I made a mess bodies on the floor
I drag the sess and escape this time
Winding road up to my mind
Won't somebody play seek and find
Waiting patiently silent
Inside I'm feeling violent
Indeed I hear they wiling
Yet I still be smiling
Cause I know I'll break the chains
Following mighty dollar it's insane
feel me? hollaback my name

[Chorus]
Gotta keep me runnin runnin runnin
Gotta keep me runnin runnin runnin
Gotta keep me runnin runnin runnin
feel me? hollaback my name

My nails are black, clawing the earth
Digging my body out of the dirt
I'm a slave,
money's the chains
I'm stepping back, close to the edge
I think I might go jump off this instead
Fight or flight
I gotta be done with this tonight

Gotta keep me running running running (x3)

[Intro]
Gotta keep me, gotta keep me, runnin runnin runnin
Gotta keep me, gotta keep me, runnin runnin runnin

[Verse 1]
I'm Working slavin but I'm making
Gotta make my money money
Gotta make my money money

Gotta make my money money
Gotta make my money money
But I can't take no more, I wanna keep runnin runnin

[Chorus]
Gotta keep me runnin runnin runnin
Gotta keep me runnin runnin runnin
Gotta keep me runnin runnin runnin

My nails are black, clawing the earth
Digging my body out of the dirt
I'm a slave,

Lyrics provided by LyricsEver.com
Kellee's mother always said, she "was dancing and singing before she could walk and talk". She started singing and writing poetry and songs at a young age to entertain herself and escape reality. Despite incredibly loving parents, Kellee always had a bit of an "alien" mentality as she was one of two people she knew until age 18 that was adopted. To this day she knows almost nothing of her biological family.

Kellee moved to Pittsburgh in her late teens with the dream of changing the world. She learned more about the negative sides of our society through study at the University of Pittsburgh and Hip Hop was solidified as her passion and outlet for activism. She also experienced watching her mother go through a near death bout with cancer and used writing as a means to cope. She began performing in 2000 and has not stopped since. However, a sense of not being able to make any real change, a lack of confidence, and need for financial security pushed her into the workforce and on the spiritual journey, which proved to be a unique opportunity to learn about what would became her inspiration as an artist.

Kellee worked in events and promotions at the Pittsburgh City Paper right after college. After her father passed away Kellee again turned to music as a way to cope. Soon after the tragedy, she started her own female owned and operated, socially conscious company, Nakturnal, in hopes of securing a better income to help her mother in the future and allow for growth in her music career. For over two years now, Nakturnal has been considered the leading guerilla marketing and events organization in the region, that works daily for independent artists, worthy causes and is expanding nationally. While Nakturnal was growing, Kellee found more time to record and perform, and released her first album, Age of Feminine. She is currently working on her second release which highlights her mystical side. She is also launching a website that will act as an artistic statement with the help of a huge female team made up of Nakturnal and other talented Pittsburgh based women.

A deeply spiritual person striving to enjoy and appreciate the present, Kellee now sees activism on a energetic level that starts within. She studies the power of intention, meditation, quantum physics, astrology, tarot and other forms of mysticism. She feels her purpose in life is to make music that sends out good energy and makes people think. She believes massive global change is coming and that it starts with the individual. She asserts that our inner world is a mirror of our outer reality and that we have the power to help positively affect the world by "being the change we wish to see", as Ghandi puts it. She believes we are entering a new stage of evolution in human consciousness and hopes that her music inspires change and awareness in the listener. She believes music and art hold the key to the revolution we need and that we can enjoy this moment while opening hearts and minds.
