"On The Run" lyrics
Shoulda went to trade school, in hindsight, I probably would've saved some money
Now I'm stressed, 40K in debt, counting up regrets like a fucking dummy
I know my mom, she just wanted the best, "Get a good job," looking out for her flesh
I was never really good at taking a test, how come they don't teach a nigga how to invest?
I can't buy house 'cause you gotta be rich, government tax me on all of my shit
Got my own back, no one's watching my six
I might call up the plug 'cause I might need a brick
Even your savings gets screwed with inflation
They want you behaving, they want you to chase it
I'm moving back home if there's room in the basement
Confused in the Matrix, I'm so sick of takin'
Bad advice, I was right, but it all was too late
Out of mind, out of sight, leave it all up fate
Don't you look at the time, just be patient
The more that you chase it, the more it's abrasive
On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run
On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run
On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run
On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run
I was making a TikTok, like, "One of these gonna go viral"
And then one did right before I quit, but the next one didn't, so I started to spiral
I went on Youtube to find a guru, they promised new views and comments, woohoo
How to make a post, how to time it, who knew?
And then I went ghost out of pride and screws loose
Everyone's telling me optimization's the way to be famous, you ought to embrace it
But what is the point of the art
That we're making if tech companies can decide who gets gated?
I won't say I hate it, but maybe it's flawed, from corporate greed and outdated laws
A whole industry that's been dug in with claws
While we're the ones buying and selling it all, crazy
Bad advice, I was right, but it all was too late
Out of mind, out of sight, leave it all up fate
Don't you look at the time, just be patient
The more that you chase it, the more it's abrasive
On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run
On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run
On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run
On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run
Today I went shopping for a miracle
They told me to act like I have been here before
Running out of options, almost hit a pole
Everybody's stopping in their vehicles
On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run
On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run
On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run
On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run
Now I'm stressed, 40K in debt, counting up regrets like a fucking dummy
I know my mom, she just wanted the best, "Get a good job," looking out for her flesh
I was never really good at taking a test, how come they don't teach a nigga how to invest?
I can't buy house 'cause you gotta be rich, government tax me on all of my shit
Got my own back, no one's watching my six
I might call up the plug 'cause I might need a brick
Even your savings gets screwed with inflation
They want you behaving, they want you to chase it
I'm moving back home if there's room in the basement
Confused in the Matrix, I'm so sick of takin'
Bad advice, I was right, but it all was too late
Out of mind, out of sight, leave it all up fate
Don't you look at the time, just be patient
The more that you chase it, the more it's abrasive
On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run
On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run
On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run
On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run
I was making a TikTok, like, "One of these gonna go viral"
And then one did right before I quit, but the next one didn't, so I started to spiral

On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run
On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run
On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run
Today I went shopping for a miracle

On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run
On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run
On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run
On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run
