"Running In Place" lyrics
I know how you feel
Palace, what you're cooking?
We're still in the struggle. So, I'm tryna make a way
You ever feel stuck and kind of lost your faith?
You ever woke up and felt like running away?
My people say they're straight, but I see their pain
Grew up to my mama always working like a slave
Grew up with no dad, but I'm a man. No bitch ways
I dropped out. I ain't get to graduate
I dropped out. Look: now, I'm on stage
Look, mama: everybody know my name
Like the nigga I became
I don't want the love that I ain't get before the fame
That I ain't get when I was arraigned
It's like you suffer, lose a lot but you gain
I'm happily married with the game
When I ain't have it, it was looking at your plate
You want it right now, but, now, it's too late
I don't think your love was for me
You say you love me, you ain't show me
Fuck it 'cause I know how to ride by my lonely
I used to care but that's the old me
Late at night, I be praying for the whole team
Shorty wanna fuck me on the low-key
Yeah. She a THOT, but she won't fuck, if you got no cheese
She for you, she for me, she for the homies
Shit. Low-key fucked up where I'm from
Little homie just got robbed
So now, he wanna get a gun
Everybody geeked all this shit like this shit fun
In your city: that shit rare
In my city: that shit none
Free my nigga Polo
Say he barely see the sun
Free my nigga Mustard
Said he wanna see his son
Don't get caught up in the mix, nigga. Run
Don't be playing with your life, with your love
All them broke nights I remember
Dropped out for my teacher in that lecture
You don't wanna meet me in my temper
Keep it on me. Block, be hot in December
A nigga like me. I want respect
Keep it on my waist
Just in case
Shit go left
Tell me that you love me right now
Not when I'm dead
Tell me that you love me right now
Not when I'm dead
Look, mama: everybody know my name
Like the nigga I became
I don't want the love that I ain't get before the fame
That I ain't get when I was arraigned
It's like you suffer, lose a lot but you gain
I'm happily married with the game
When I ain't have it, it was looking at your plate
You want it right now, but, now, it's too late
Now, it's too late
Everybody know my name
Palace, what you're cooking?
We're still in the struggle. So, I'm tryna make a way
You ever feel stuck and kind of lost your faith?
You ever woke up and felt like running away?
My people say they're straight, but I see their pain
Grew up to my mama always working like a slave
Grew up with no dad, but I'm a man. No bitch ways
I dropped out. I ain't get to graduate
I dropped out. Look: now, I'm on stage
Look, mama: everybody know my name

I don't want the love that I ain't get before the fame
That I ain't get when I was arraigned
It's like you suffer, lose a lot but you gain
