Run - Soul Position[00:00:00]
Aight[00:00:04]
It went down like this[00:00:08]
A day just like today[00:00:11]
Just doing my thing you know [00:00:16]
Look before you leap walk before you run[00:00:21]
Run from anything that threatens peaceful existence[00:00:24]
Look before you leap walk before you run[00:00:26]
Run as far as you can until you reach a safe distance[00:00:29]
We've been running from day one[00:00:32]
Never even thought to ask why or what from[00:00:34]
Only taught to run only taught to run[00:00:37]
Only taught to run only taught to run[00:00:40]
Look before you leap walk before you run[00:00:43]
Run from anything that threatens peaceful existence[00:00:45]
Look before you leap walk before you run[00:00:48]
Run as far as you can until you reach a safe distance[00:00:50]
We've been running from day one[00:00:53]
Never even thought to ask why or what from[00:00:56]
Only taught to run only taught to run[00:00:59]
Only taught to run only taught to run[00:01:01]
I learned how to walk at age one[00:01:04]
And wasn't satified until I learned how to run[00:01:06]
At age eighteen I didn't want to run[00:01:09]
But I had to run from the shots fired by a gun[00:01:12]
Fourty-eight hours two cycles of the sun[00:01:14]
I couldn't run from the shock that paralyzed my tongue[00:01:17]
It made not want to speak a word to anyone[00:01:20]
Felt like the breath had been stolen from my lungs[00:01:22]
Who would've told my mother that she lost her youngest son[00:01:25]
Tears in her eyes standing there feeling stunned[00:01:28]
To hear that her baby fell victim to a gun[00:01:30]
Playing basketball outside having fun[00:01:33]
It's sad but it happens all the time where I'm from[00:01:36]
So I grew up thinking I'd never reach twenty-one[00:01:38]
It's sad but it happens all the time where I'm from[00:01:41]
But I'm still here cause I learned how to run[00:01:44]
Look before you leap walk before you run[00:01:46]
Run from anything that threatens peaceful existence[00:01:49]
Look before you leap walk before you run[00:01:52]
Run as far as you can until you reach a safe distance[00:01:54]
We've been running from day one[00:01:57]
Never even thought to ask why or what from[00:02:00]
Only taught to run only taught to run[00:02:02]
Only taught to run only taught to run[00:02:05]
Look before you leap walk before you run[00:02:08]
Run from anything that threatens peaceful existence[00:02:10]
Look before you leap walk before you run[00:02:13]
Run as far as you can until you reach a safe distance[00:02:15]
We've been running from day one[00:02:18]
Never even thought to ask why or what from[00:02:21]
Only taught to run only taught to run[00:02:24]
Only taught to run only taught to run[00:02:26]
My inner city people[00:02:28]
Put your hands up if you're feeling me[00:02:29]
I'm not alone running from fear of cops killing me[00:02:32]
Running from utilities running from responsibilities[00:02:34]
Running from flashbacks and memories[00:02:38]
It's funny how we run into the arms of strong women[00:02:40]
Run away when its time to talk about committment[00:02:43]
I've seen women run away from Mr Right[00:02:45]
Then turn around and say that[00:02:48]
There ain't no good men in sight[00:02:49]
Even thugs run when the streets turn into hell[00:02:50]
Some run to the cops cause its safer in a cell[00:02:53]
Some cats used to run the streets and act fool[00:02:56]
Got robbed and didn't run[00:02:58]
But they had to run their jewels[00:03:00]
Some used to run sh*t on basketball courts[00:03:01]
They got kids now running from child support[00:03:03]
It's sad but it happens all the time where I'm from[00:03:06]
Sometimes I wish that we never learned how to run[00:03:09]
Look before you leap walk before you run[00:03:12]
Run from anything that threatens peaceful existence[00:03:14]
Look before you leap walk before you run[00:03:17]
Run as far as you can until you reach a safe distance[00:03:19]
We've been running from day one[00:03:22]
Never even thought to ask why or what from[00:03:25]
Only taught to run only taught to run[00:03:28]
Only taught to run only taught to run[00:03:30]
Look before you leap walk before you run[00:03:33]
Run from anything that threatens peaceful existence[00:03:36]
Look before you leap walk before you run[00:03:38]
Run as far as you can until you reach a safe distance[00:03:41]
We've been running from day one[00:03:44]
Never even thought to ask why or what from[00:03:46]
Only taught to run only taught to run[00:03:49]
Only taught to run only taught to run[00:03:52]
