Runnin by Ricky Conaway Lyrics
(Keep on, keep running
Running and running
Keep on, keep running)
And these days a mile's like an inch
But fuck it I'll be runnin til I'm lyin' in a ditch
And I been workin cause this shit'll all fine when I'll be rich
So i rarely have the time for gettin wild as a bitch
But it's whatever, though
I live and breathe music from the head to toe
I don't know an exit door
I don't waste a second of a minute on a petty hoe
I'm way too focused on bein the best to ever flow
For now it's me against the world and it's a rubber match
But I got it in the corner so its stuck and trapped
I watch my homies stories, see em turnin' up on Snap
But I'm at home, I pick a beat then turn it up and snap
Unless they fam then i ain't giving anybody dap
People are snakes and I kinda don't wanna fuck wit dat
I steady run it forward just so they can run it back
'til i got a hunnid stacks..
(Keep on, keep running
Running and running
Keep on, keep running
Running and running
Keep on, keep running)
Keep it real or keep it movin'
The more i have around me the harder it is to do it
All these people are frauds, I call in seek of the truest
Time has helped me develop the art of just seein' thru it
Part of me's independent, part of me needs influence
Part of me knows it's stupid, part of me's so conclusive
Part of me sees the music awful and just a nuisance
The cost bein the truest, it all could leave me in ruins but I'm
Dreaming overnight, of rockin open mics
In the corner bumpin' Eminem and Obie Trice
Who you know as nice? hot as hell and cold as ice
And to these rappers, though, my flow is like a poltergeist
But this the life we chose
Of playin nightly shows
I'm earning stripes
Go Adidas on these Nike hoes
To live in paradise and roll inside a pricy rolls
Pick a pair of dice and roll..
(Keep on, keep running
Running and running
Keep on, keep running
Running and running
Keep on, keep running)
I think it's bout time
I finally get glimpse of my shine
But if I get too much of it I'll probably die blind
If there's anything thing I've learned in being in that high sky
Eventually you gotta fall from cloud nine
And no one seems to get up on a beat without lying
Tell me where the hell would Ricky be without Ryan?
Not a single rapper that he didn't out rhyme
I'll be spittin out lines
'til i fizzle out dyin, don't forget it
Progression' up the stairs the way I'm risin'
Sit here for a second and the air is kinda silent
Used to my depression, so i rarely try to hide it
Look at my reflection and I barely recognize it
I became the person I said I never would be
I know it more than anyone that effort is key
But I swear I’ll be a failure when I’m resting in peace
If I don't make it to the end of this dream
So I remember to breathe...
(Keep on, keep running
Running and running
Keep on, keep running
Running and running
Keep on, keep running
Running and running
Keep on, keep running
Running and running)
Running and running
Keep on, keep running)
And these days a mile's like an inch
