Runnin’ / Runnin’ (DJ Green Lantern Edit) [Mixed] lyrics
by The Game
[Intro: Dion Jenkins]
Hahaha (Green Lantern)
I'm runnin'
Got to live for today 'cause tomorrow ain't promised to me
Don't just want a piece, I want my whole destiny
(If you've got it) I'm gon' take it
(If you're in it) You're coming with me
(Bench warmers) Get no playing time
(No sleeping) 'Til I cross the line, I'm—
I'm runnin'
One-two, one-two, one-two, one-two, one-two
Check this out, check this out, check this out, yeah
One-two, one-two, one-two, one-two, one-two
Check this out
[Chorus: Pharcyde & Dion Jenkins]
Can't keep running away (I'm runnin')
Can't keep running away (I'm runnin')
Can't keep running away (I'm runnin')
Can't keep running away (I'm runnin')
[Verse 1: Fatlip]
I must admit on some occasions, I went out like a punk and a chump
Or a sucka or something to that effect
Respеct I used to never gеt, 'cause all I got was upset
When n*ggas used to be like ("What's up, fool? n*gga, what's up?)
And tried to sweat a n*gga like the Lip
For no reason at all, I can recall Crip n*ggas rollin' Cs in my face
Down the hall, I'm kickin' it in the back of the school eating chicken at three
Wondering, "Why is everybody always pickin' on me?"
I tried to talk and tell them, "Chill, I did nothin' to deserve this"
But when it didn't work, I wasn't scared, just real nervous and unprepared
To deal with scrappin', no doubt
My pappy never told me how to knock a n*gga out
But now in '95, I must survive as a man on my own
f*ck around with Fatlip, yes, ya get blown
I'm not tryin' to show, no macho is shown
But when it's on, when it's on, then it's on
[Chorus: Pharcyde & Dion Jenkins]
Can't keep running away (I'm runnin')
Can't keep running away (I'm runnin')
Can't keep running away (I'm runnin')
Can't keep running away (I'm runnin')
[Outro: Pharcyde & Dion Jenkins]
Can't keep running away (I'm runnin'), yo
