Gut by Jimmy The Human, Hannah Harleen Lyrics
[Verse 1: Jimmy the Human]
Onward, upward, only one direction
So why's it so hard for me to stay on track?
A good friend told me I should only follow my gut
But it's difficult when everyone around you relaxed
Everyone around is fallin' outta touch with their heart
And according to the numbers on the single you're whack
Got your ego tellin' you to quit the gimmick you suck
But your heart is screaming that you're only living for rap
And your head is trying to figure out who's tellin' the truth
And do it without havin' another mental collapse
And your friends are askin' why you're never hitting 'em back
And the truth is that you love 'em and you missin' em bad
But your gut is tellin' you they tend to get in the way
So you push em to the side if they ain't pushin' ya tracks
By the time you wanna kick it everyone'll be gone
All because your gut is telling you to follow a path
[Chorus 1: Jimmy the Human]
Come back and I run away
Come back and I run away
Don't know how I've gone astray
Don't know why I've gone astray
Feel the pain of longer days
I can feel the longer days
I know that I wanna stay
Tell myself I oughta stay
Nonetheless I run away
Come back and I run away
Don't know how I've gone astray
Don't know why I've gone astray
Feel the pain of longer days
I can feel the longer days
I know that I wanna stay
Tell myself I oughta stay
Nonetheless I run away
[Verse 2: Jimmy the Human]
Read The Alchemist
Said I'm down for this
Never knew it was so lonely and so mountainous
Know my destiny
Now I'm doubtin' it
Never would've thought that I would be around for this
Get the alcohol
Get the 'phetamines
I don't wanna feel a thing if I'm about to quit
And just then I got a call from my best friend
Sayin' that my song saved his life, and he's proud as shit
"You gotta trust me
This is what you live for
This is what you must be"
Then I put the phone down
I was gonna come clean
Tell him that I'm quitting but now its bigger than just me
Now if I ever stop, i got blood up on my hands
All because I decided to follow one dream
And I wouldn't have it any other way
Listen closer to the message that the feeling in ya gut brings
[Chorus 2: Jimmy the Human and Hannah Harleen]
Come back and I run away
Come back and I run away
Don't know how I've gone astray
Don't know why I've gone astray
Feel the pain of longer days
I can feel the longer days
I know that I wanna stay
Tell myself I oughta stay
Nonetheless I run away
Come back and I run away
Don't know how I've gone astray
Don't know why I've gone astray
Feel the pain of longer days
I can feel the longer days
I know that I wanna stay
Tell myself I oughta stay
Nonetheless I run away
[Verse 3: Hannah Harleen]
Your heart is screaming out loud
Telling you what you already know
Don't get lost in the crowd
What lies within you is glitter and gold
Glitter and gold, glitter and gold
(Scatting outro)
Onward, upward, only one direction
So why's it so hard for me to stay on track?
A good friend told me I should only follow my gut
But it's difficult when everyone around you relaxed
Everyone around is fallin' outta touch with their heart
And according to the numbers on the single you're whack

Come back and I run away
Come back and I run away
Don't know how I've gone astray
Don't know why I've gone astray

I know that I wanna stay
Tell myself I oughta stay
Nonetheless I run away
Come back and I run away
Don't know how I've gone astray
Don't know why I've gone astray
Feel the pain of longer days
I can feel the longer days
