Cal Scruby - Runnin' Lyrics
V1Got dreams of selling out the Fillmore, #1 on BillboardCount 100 thousand on the bed and there’s still moreTell myself I gotta get my mind right and chill moreBut the bills say I gotta kill more, so line em upI’m drinking straight from the bottle, I couldn’t find a cupI watch the second-hand tick until the time is upThe time is now, I ride around with cameras onA nice night, the lights bright, the candles longThe wick burning, I sip bourbon, the whip turningThey tried flipping the script, they only flip burgersThey don’t concern us, to each his ownI’m reaching high, they reaching out, they always leaching onThis here the sermon, yeah I’m preaching onThey yelling “amen, ” and I’m just wishing I could save themDriving down the road, I’m the rose in the pavementHouse in the hills but a house ain’t a home if it’s vacantIt’s vacant, it’s vacantHOOKI know you wanna get away, I know you wanna get awayBut tell me what are you running from? Tell me what are you waiting for?Don’t you know that it’s coming? Don’t you know that it’s coming?V2I go so deep in my mind, I don’t know when I’ll surfaceTake a breath, headfirst into something uncertainSearching for gold; threw this away like I knew this was oldThe temperature perfect, the verses are coldImagine that, came back with something that’s brand newIf you don’t stand up, how they gon’ understand you?Cuz they all brainwashed, this music the shampooI’m head and shoulders above em, I can’t loseMan to be the one chosen is something you can’t chooseYou gotta play the hand that you’re dealtYou gotta start counting your blessings instead of your wealthAnd if you tryna make a change you better start with yourselfAnd stop running, stop runningHOOK
