Runaway by M2i Lyrics
[Runaway]
Runaway runaway runaway fast
Some past you have
What is my aftermath
I don't know
Look at my eyes and
Tell me what you see
Surrounded by animosity
Making my soul bleed
Spreading peace as generosity
Getting left by cold feet
Look at these humans with
Their hearts a hundred below freeze
Dropping chemical bombs on babies
Like they won't get judged for those things
You can never make an excuse for
Oppression woe to the oppressors
Oh please
Allow me to open my mind that way
You know me
For what is there to feel but pain and grief
Since my Lord knows when a leaf leaves its tree
Most surely He knows what's inside of me
What I hide in me
Whenever I fake a smile but theres a cry in me
For dry eyes are worse than
Those that cry and weap
Its like in trying to be strong but it's like
My you're weak
Alot of people have said when I die I'll sleep
But in the past I was dead but I was wide awake
When I die I'll be wide awake
A lot of people gamble their lives
Their life is in shambles
They watch it break
Just because I'm not in their inner circle
Doesn't mean I'm out of shape
If I told you the purpose of life
Would you believe me
If I told you how to attain happiness
Would you think of me weakly
Even though I haven't been strong
In the past 7 days
I made my heart a glass house
So you can see me
At any moment this fragile once
Melted sand can shatter and break
I pray to the Most High
This son of Adam makes the most of my matter
My soul is at stake
Can't let my desires eat me
I have to leash this barking dogs
I have to take control of these Rottweilers
This rope has a name
It's called fear
If you don't drain your emotions
You'll clog your thoughts
Actions are judged by their intentions
I pray this knowledge never leaves me
For knowledge you have to be greedy
Deeply contemplating life completely
Pondering our specie
Briefly concentrate on why
Very cheeky how us humans
Wander easy
Very naively how we toxicate when
We populate
Congregate to propagate
The truth is scarce around here
Who do we nominate
It's not that easy to compensate when you hurt someone
Living in a way that we profligate
Too scared to even change
Future generations won't understand
The expression love tastes like honey
If there's no bees to polinate
At about age 18 I felt like I was drowning
In H20 the same as its atomic weight
Human sinner your hope growing thinner
Devil distracting you delaying repentance
Shine losing its shimmer
Better yet don't be flattered by glitter
Remember those days when laughter lingered
But I don't recognize that man in the mirror no more
Heart feels different whenever we sin
Our face losing its glow
Insignificant is how I treat my self
Perfection of my inner core to excell
Trying to search where I'll dwell
Heart broken by pride
They just fell through its cracks
I have to rewrite my will
Today could be my last
Human being that gets tempted
Into acting wretched
Verily Satan flows through the blood of man
Must be genetics
Say a supplication just to keep him gated
Beware of being persuaded
These cowards attacks you from the unseen.
I know where I'm headed by I don't know where I'm headed if you know I what I mean
I should start writing my dreams
Roger you were rising like a propella
You could've don't a show at Coachella
You could've done a show a SXSW
With so much money to flex
Roger I don't mean to mean to be rude
But you could've done a show In Paris
Man Im trying to sacrifice for afterlife
So I could show triple the size of Paris
In Paradise just to let things be clarified now
They could chase this life
I have to chase the next
They forgot Allah thus forgot themselves
No wonder they're feeling the effects of
Feeling depressed
Roger but you could’ve been famous
But you have know idea what fame is
How do I answer Allah
About everybody praising me
When he's the only one worthy of praise
How do I answer for those days
If I was surrounded by the women
The drugs committing transgressions
He forbade when He gives oxygen for my lungs
Ego becoming ravenous
Why would I want to live extravagant
What is money when your life is calimatius
Ten rooms in a house but can't call it a home
Roger you could've had the baddest chicks man
But how would I settle for a spouse
In that state I'd probably end up cheating
And being alone
You know this man we men
What's the point of a beautiful wife if
We're still looking at tens
I used to want to be a rapper
But I couldn't break free
God made them a sign for us
But we still don't see
Figuratively signs are light
The irony that God willed it
That literally signs have light
You think money makes you free
When I die how do I expect Paradise coming to God with such things
Since my heart became so sick
We should be terrified
Man what would I have done
Would've been thrown in the fire and shunned
These are things your homies don't speak
About man tell me is that really love
An old homies looks like he's on the brink
Of popping off I want to tell him this knowledge but how do you convince
Someone when this is everything he ever wanted
Even for me leaving it was difficult
I nurtured a craft for several years becoming
Lyrical venting as if medicinal
Hiding how I felt in my bars but few saw them as cripticial
Knowing I didn't want to become statistical
I remember saying such bars a couple years layers hearing so an so say the same bars
Thinking what if I was his same age
Would I be ahead of the lane like Usain bolt
I was feeling like you
Leaving thinking how would I be liveable
But man there's so much more than meets the eye why would I lie
Paradise is so much more enticing
Realizing the afterlife is so much more gratifying
Old homie I know you want the best
But even the best are alone in their Graves
No matter how much we runaway
We can never escape that day
Are we just wandering while sondering
As if there is no purpose
You mean to look around and tell me all this is worthless
We gotta be real and stop
No longer want a moment of tangecy
Humbled by gravity
Old homie this what I wrote
I'm just a warner here to relay you a message
Do you get my expression
I don't need your money
I just pray you pay me attention
I say this because I love these humans
Who else will tell you like I tell you
(2x)
Tell me what are we living for we
Feel regression steady stressing
Drowning in depression
They sippin more
They feel sicker a light flickers
They start to realize that liquor is not what they need nor is it the answer
It's causing more grief and eating your cells like a cancer
You're trying to find purpose aren't you
You scratch the surface of a certain knowledge
Insides burning like a furnace
Disturbing
Humans aren't worthless yet there's
Little girls twerking before learning multiplication
And there's kids getting locked up for merkin
Two ways we're losing our youth
There are people locked behind the bars of a pen
I'm locked behind the bars of a pen too
But I'm blessed with freedom
It's me vs me I'm competing with Roger
You 10-4 like the day I was born
See I could die today that weight stays
Heavy on my heart
I ponder about matters people don't really contemplate I have a lot on my plate
It's getting difficult for me to stomach it
It feels like I have plummet
Darkness is such an absence
But look how light can cover it
We have to take care of our mothers
Before we're motherless
Old homies hit me up to party but
I don't like to dance with the devil
Roger why are speaking like this
I have to keep myself humble
But be confident when speaking
The truth
I used to be a chicken keeping my emotions couped
This is what it feels like when you're falling
20 something years of being demolished
You can't act like when it rains
And the water gives life to the earth after it has died that it's not symbolic
We know with each day that passes by the world is getting darker
Even though new lights become installed
I'm referring to our hearts becoming harder
An old homie hit he wants me back to rappin
Offered me a show and I turned it down
Type of show others would say man whyd you turn it down
I told him I'm entirely inactive
I had a thought the moment I uttered a bar
On stage no matter how young my age
That would be the last page on my book as my soul get ripped out the burning now
Stomach churning now
Thinking about it now leaves me shook
They said I could of had it all
They would be with me while I rise
I blessed to be wise knowing
They won't be with me when I fall
All they see is success
Tell their souls to the lowest buyer
Until their washed up like before a dryer
Seems like every time someone makes
A reference to "that's lit"
It's action that leads you to the fire
I guess I'm just speaking my mind moments
I tend to keep to myself
Isn't it such a wonder how one Book
Can have more knowledge than every book
On your shelf
Thinking back when I was twelve
But let us just not speak about that now
It's oblique living such a life thinking that it's normal
They sneak it lies yet present it as formal
Sometimes you feel like the odd one out
Should I talk about those back in Stockton now
Memories that I pray were blotted out
Things people do they're so non chalant about
Few may understanding but all have never felt it
Success is having a hot coal in your hand and dying knowing that you held it
Their definition of success is mediocre
My definition of success is having Paradise
When it's over
All they see is this world
They do not understand that we shall perish
It became a disease that they cherish this world so much so that they forgot their Lord
They see this world more beloved than the
Beloved
They see fame drugs and sex
They see wealth family as success
With such a vision they didn't know they became blind
But the thing about this blindness
Is that they are unaware of their lack of seeing
Until death and them meet
And their souls are removed
Their hearing becomes sharpening
Their touch becomes heightened
And their sight?
Brighter than the clearest day
You lose your heart
You lose you soul and then you disappear
I wander through this black hole
Knowing death could be near
We have a date with the unseen
Then that vision will be clear
A bigger problem with humanity is how much
We've lost fear
What will do when our Lord tells us what
We've done
Success is only measured if Paradise is one
A Lotta people want the answer to the
Purpose why we're made
But once you tell the truth
A Lotta people turn away
That answer to that question
Is to worship our One Lord
Do not ascribe any partners
And submit our will before
Our soul gets torn from our
Body come to learn what's in store
To those who make this life
A paradise don't expect a share of paradise
In the life that comes forward
If you worship your desires
Your soul is living in its horror
Drugs clubs women and men
In fact is only temporary satisfactio
While your heart is growing black
I urge us to to turn back
Ask God for guidance on a path
Thats straightness is constant
And invokes neither strayness or wrath
Return back to our Creator before the time is too late
Because when two angels question us in our graves those answers are means of determining our fate
You were an old homie
Your face is cold homies
Your eyes are looking up they were
Staring at your soul homie
Now you’re on the other side
Like where did my life go
If only I wouldn’t known
They said you lived like a king
Now you died like a peasant
You ate away your times now you
Pray you had seconds
Your life was a test but you were failing all those lessons
They told you about Allah but you wouldn’t hear the message
I just wanna runaway from all of this
I just wanna runaway from all of this
Run
Run
Run
Runaway runaway runaway fast
Some past you have
What is my aftermath
I don't know
Look at my eyes and
Tell me what you see
Surrounded by animosity
Making my soul bleed
Spreading peace as generosity
Getting left by cold feet
Look at these humans with
Their hearts a hundred below freeze
Dropping chemical bombs on babies
Like they won't get judged for those things
You can never make an excuse for
Oppression woe to the oppressors

I have to leash this barking dogs
I have to take control of these Rottweilers
This rope has a name
It's called fear
If you don't drain your emotions
You'll clog your thoughts
Actions are judged by their intentions
I pray this knowledge never leaves me
For knowledge you have to be greedy
Deeply contemplating life completely
Pondering our specie
Briefly concentrate on why
Very cheeky how us humans
Wander easy
Very naively how we toxicate when
We populate
Congregate to propagate
The truth is scarce around here
Who do we nominate
It's not that easy to compensate when you hurt someone
Living in a way that we profligate
Too scared to even change

Remember those days when laughter lingered
But I don't recognize that man in the mirror no more

Our face losing its glow
Insignificant is how I treat my self
Perfection of my inner core to excell
Trying to search where I'll dwell
Heart broken by pride
They just fell through its cracks
I have to rewrite my will
Today could be my last
Human being that gets tempted
Into acting wretched
Verily Satan flows through the blood of man
Must be genetics
Say a supplication just to keep him gated
Beware of being persuaded
These cowards attacks you from the unseen.
