Pharcyde - Runnin Lyrics
Cant keep runnin away.....Verse one: fat lipI must admit on some occasions I went out like a punkAnd a chump or a sucka or something to that effectRespect I usedto never get when all I got was upsetWhen niggas use to be like whats up fool! and triedTo seat a nigga like the lip for no reason at all I canRecall crip niggas throwin c in my face down the hallIm kickin it in the back of the school eatin chicken atThree, wonderin why is everybody always pickin on meI tried to talk and tell tham chill I did nothing to deserveThis but when it didnt work I wasnt scared just realNervous and unprepared to deal with scrappin no doubtCuz my pappy never told me how to knock a nigga outBut now in 95 I must survive as a man on my own *****Around with fatlip yes ya get blown Im not tryin to showNo macho is shown but when its on, if its on, then its on!Verse two: slim kid treThere comes a time in every mans life when hes gottaHandle up on his own cant depend on friends toHelp you in a sqeeze, please they got problems of theirOwn down for the count on seven chickens shits dontGet to heaven til they faced these fears in these fearZones used to get jacked back in high school I playedIt cool just so some real shit wont get full blown beingWhere Im from they let the smoke come quicker than anEvil red-neck could lynch a helpless colored figure andAs a victim I invented low-key til the keyhole itself gotLower than me so I stood up and let my free form formFree. said Im gonna get some before they knockin out me.I dont sweat it I let the bullshit blow in the breezeIn other words just freezeVerse three: knumbskull #1Its 1995 now that Im older stress weighs on my shouldersHeavy as boulders but I told yaTill the day that I die I still will be a soldier and thats all I toldYa and thats all I showed yaAnd all this calamity is rippin my sanityCan it be Im a celebrityWhose on the brink of insanityNow dont be wishins of switchin any positions with meCuz when you in my position, it aint never easyTo do any type of maintaining cuz all this gaming and famin fromEntertainin is hella straining to the brain and...But I cant keep runnin I just gotta keep keen and cunnin...
