Runaway - J. Cole (J. 科尔)[00:00:00]
Married men act totally different when they're by themselves, don't they?[00:00:00]
You see them with their wife, like, "what's up Tony[00:00:04]
" Hey man, how's everything going brother?"[00:00:06]
"Just taking it easy, hanging out with the lady"[00:00:07]
"Alright, take it easy now, God bless you"[00:00:10]
You be like that ni**a ain't like that[00:00:15]
You see him by himself, "What's up Tony?"[00:00:20]
"Hey, yo, where's the b**ches at, ni**a?"[00:00:22]
Yeah, give me my space[00:00:27]
Lord ain't enough time to chase all these dreams[00:00:29]
I mean I got no time to wait[00:00:31]
Love my girl but told her straight up "don't wait up"[00:00:33]
Stumble home late, I'm drunk, we f**ked the maid up[00:00:36]
Used to live free as a bird, now I'm laid up[00:00:38]
Feeling like a ni**a got handcuffs on[00:00:41]
How the f**k did my life become a damn love song?[00:00:43]
She ride for a ni**a and she stand up for him[00:00:46]
But a ni**a wanna be a ni**a, be a ni**a[00:00:48]
Ride through the streets with freaks and real niggas[00:00:51]
She never understand what it's like to be a man[00:00:53]
Knowing when you look inside yourself you see a ni**a[00:00:56]
And you don't wanna let her down but you too young for the settle down[00:00:59]
And maybe you can thug it out, learn what is love about[00:01:03]
When you can't live with it and live without[00:01:06]
Oh sh*t, goddamn, I think the devil got his hands on me[00:01:08]
Stripper saying: "Baby, why don't you throw these bands on me?"[00:01:12]
And I came to spend, she pop a molly let the motherf**king games begin[00:01:15]
I'm running...[00:01:19]
Runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway[00:01:20]
I'm holding on desperately[00:01:26]
Runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway[00:01:30]
I'm holding on[00:01:35]
When it's all said and done everybody dies[00:01:37]
In this life ain't no happy endings[00:01:39]
Only pure beginnings followed by years of sinning and fake repentance[00:01:41]
The preacher says we were made in image of law[00:01:44]
To which I replied: "Are you sure?[00:01:47]
Even the murderer? Even the whore?[00:01:49]
Even the ni**a running through b**ches on tour?"[00:01:52]
With a good girl at home folding clothes and sh*t[00:01:54]
She losing faith in him and he knows and sh*t[00:01:56]
Like what the f**k is a break, don't know how much I can take no more[00:01:59]
I give you all I got till it ain't no more[00:02:02]
No more tears it's been ten long years, damn near[00:02:05]
I don't know if I can wait no more, and who can blame her[00:02:08]
You complaining 'bout every time you out, you come back she paow[00:02:11]
Sleeping back to back, this is wack[00:02:15]
We 'bout to go platinum in a minute, crib acting out[00:02:17]
My childhood fantasies of wife and home[00:02:20]
But it's a whole lot of actresses I'd like to bone[00:02:22]
And despite the rumors you hold out on account the guilt[00:02:25]
She's has got to spend her nights alone[00:02:28]
And she ride or die like Eve and 'em[00:02:30]
Make home cooked meals every evening[00:02:33]
And even then your lowest days your lowest days[00:02:35]
When you no Superman at least you got your Lois Lane[00:02:39]
But you...[00:02:40]
Runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway[00:02:41]
I'm holding on desperately[00:02:47]
Runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway[00:02:52]
I'm holding on[00:02:58]
Yeah, unbelievable seen evil that not even Knievel know[00:03:00]
At age 3 I knew this world was three below[00:03:04]
Listen, even know my ego low achieved the unachievable[00:03:06]
Imagine if my confidence was halfway decent, yo[00:03:09]
This just in, f**ked more b**ches than Bieber though[00:03:11]
Still I keep it low, got my niggas on the need to know[00:03:14]
Basis, my manager back in the day was racist[00:03:17]
I was a young boy, passing skate and tucking laces[00:03:19]
Old perverted white man who told me: "Jermaine, It's all pink on the inside[00:03:21]
F**k what color their face is." wise words from an indecent man[00:03:25]
Made me reflect on the times when we was three fifths of them[00:03:29]
And change empower less, brave souls reduce the cowardness[00:03:31]
Slaving in the baking sun for hours[00:03:33]
Just to see the master creep into the shack where your lady at[00:03:37]
Nine months later got a baby that not quite what you excepted[00:03:40]
But you refuse to neglect it cause you know your wifey love you[00:03:44]
Does you refuse to accept it?[00:03:48]
That's that type sh*t tell why my granny light skin[00:03:50]
Rich white man rule the nation still, only difference is we all slaves know[00:03:52]
The change concealed in our thoughts[00:03:56]
If I follow my heart to save myself[00:03:58]
Could I run away from 50 mill like Dave Chappell?[00:04:00]
Runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway[00:04:03]
I'm holding on desperately[00:04:09]
Runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway[00:04:11]
I'm holding on[00:04:18]
