Cordae — Running Away

[Verse] First off just take a breather Never fall into the make believers Tryna build empire like Jason Jeter Go gorilla on the track, great ape Vegeta You get what I'm saiyan (saying) No Bape Adidas Tryna run up the numbers till I break the meter Til' you face the heater, and you fake a seizure Dog I gotta blow cuz my patience leaving Two steps for the one time Make them right hooks, and them punchlines This is sorta like my NFL combine When we wake up tomorrow pray for sunshine It's a brighter day for tomorrow In the trenches they living in sorrow Fresh gear 'member days we would borrow Damn this shit changing they shooting out Largo 'Member days was dreaming of Bentleys Gucci, Prada shit I'll even wear Fendi Fuck up a check when I cop my Balenci's Broke and proud now I'm down to my pennies Nigga been through a lot through the past year On the road the riches on my last gear Sick of dumb ass jobs was a cashier Mixtapes get thrown in the trash here Ironically they recycling bars Me and Toonsz spending nights in garage Hit up Parris he live right next to Nas Use to trap in towers now I'm Eiffel to y'all Money growing, getting taller Jeans tight, pockets smaller Thank mama the way I was brought up Living life but I never got caught up [Hook] When you coming up you evolving Member days we was balling Starry night, the sky's falling But everybody has a calling I'm still searching for mine too Plain sight from the sky view Soul searching they'll find you But got nowhere to hide too And so I'm running away, I'm running away Always running away, I'm running away Gotta stop running away, I'm running away Can't keep running away, running away [Verse] Been through it all but I'm too involved Copped my team goldlinks now my crew can floss And them niggas hating bad what I do to y'all And don't even worry bout what my shoes will costs So u might afford it but my life distorted I fight the horror with he mic recording Bro stay with 45s like he Michael Jordan You gotta have drive I'm the type to floor it So I'm speeding down life's highway Tryna cop a benz in my driveway I ain't been alseep in bout 5 days And I'm gettin top from my side bae Sometimes I hate the life that I'm living Gramma whipping pies in that kitchen Uncle be pushing weight, think I'm kidding Rap niggas lie, I lie to my women. Aye! Walk in Barney's just to fuck up a check Dead broke now you stuck up in debt Take a flick, double cuff just to flex Upgrade my life from the shuttle to jets Go from noodles to steak, I got food on my plate Pave my own way you just do what they say Y'all follow wave stay true my way Ain't no waiting tomorrow I do it today [Hook] When you coming up you evolving Member days we was balling Starry night, the sky's falling But everybody has a calling I'm still searching for mine too Plain sight from the sky view Soul searching they'll find you But got nowhere to hide too And so I'm running away, I'm running away Always running away, I'm running away Gotta stop running away, I'm running away Can't keep running away, running away
