Nowhere to Run - Rittz

I want to run away

Because I know there’s got to be a better place

Sometimes I really want to run away

But the more I try the more I can’t escape

Because there ain’t no where to run

Instead I’m drunk, praying to the Lord

Saying «here I come»

Sitting on my bed with a loaded gun

Pointed at my head

And then my girlfriend screams put the gun away

I told her «love just saved the day

Let’s pack our stuff and run away

From all this bullshit»

Man, I hate my life, my job

I feel like my days is all

Working nine to five

And give her five to eleven

Limping in my front door looking tired and sweating

Last thing I feel like doing is going and writing a record

My fuckin' socks are soaking wet, my girl gotta go to bed

These opposite schedules getting harder to manage

Working in a kitchen with a bunch of Mexicans

And I swear motherfuckers talk about me in Spanish

My only plan is to make it rapping

After so long you start thinking if this shit was meant to be, it’d happen

If it wasn’t for my homie Yelawolf believin' in me

I’d still probably be feeling like my dream was shattered

Cause my team is scattered, but now I got a second chance

It’s time to get the fire back

At a young age, I done developed so many bad habits

I feel like I’mma have to snort a line to even try to write a rap

On top of that, I can’t afford the power bill

Rappin' ain’t payin', makin' nine dollars an hour still

Can’t afford to have a kid, can’t afford to put my girl on the pill

Plus I hate the way a condom feel

How does your family feel about your music, about your numbers?

They said it was dumb and never gave a shit

I be smilin' now, when they tell me they proud

But then the climate turn around and say some racist shit

So it’s strainin' my relationship

I told my girl, I need her, I’d never leave her if I made it big

One day I want to marry you, and raise a kid

Gone all night long, but I ain’t chasin' chicks

I’m trying to write, but always feeling like I can’t commit

Can’t come wit' the shit I want to say to vent

Instead I’m steadily drowning am I wastin' it

Sometimes I wish I could escape from this

I want to run away

Because I know there’s got to be a better place

Sometimes I really want to run away

But the more I try the more I can’t escape

Because there ain’t no where to run

Instead I’m drunk, praying to the Lord

Saying here I come

Sitting on my bed with a loaded gun

Pointed at my head

And then my girlfriend screams put the gun away

I told her love just saved the day

Let’s pack our stuff and run away

From all this bullshit

I just missed another show cuz I gotta work

If I try to request any more days off

Then my boss gonna fire me

He said he’s tired of me tryin' him

I wanna tell him to go fuck himself

But I know ain’t nobody hirin', besides I’m

Twenty-nine, my future’s on the line

And my girlfriend rely on me to try to iron these

Problems we created down entirely

A year ago, this time, we was in a bind, in a dire need

To find a place to live, we was about to lose the crib

Had to get a job, that’s exactly what I did

All for me is set and now this rapper shit is dead

Last Christmas, we ain’t have the cash to get a gift

For each other, man, I’m sick of the struggle

Doing drugs made it easy to accept that

Then I settle getting used to having nada

My doctor said I got a bleedin' ulcer in my tummy

But still continue to shoot rot-gut liquor in my stomach, trying to numb it

Can’t afford Crown, so I’m sippin' on McCormick’s

Tryin' to write a rap, but I can’t think of a chorus

I bet I snort some meth and things will hit em in opposal

And 'Wolf said, record exec’s checkin' for us

So you better step it up, they’re scanning the performance

Snap back in the music industry

I’m missing at least sick of kissing ass

I question my endurance

So I pour another shot, trying to calm me some

Alcohol really can’t resolve it none

Still pissed off, thinking everyone is dumb

Because I don’t give a fuck what team LeBron is on

Whoever follows on Twitter the comments on

My Facebook wall tellin' y’all what all I’m doin

I’m a ray of sunshine, yeah, ball of fun

But they can look up and I’ll be gone

I want to run away

Because I know there’s got to be a better place

Sometimes I really want to run away

But the more I try the more I can’t escape

Because there ain’t no where to run

Instead I’m drunk, praying to the Lord

Saying here I come

Sitting on my bed with a loaded gun

Pointed at my head

And then my girlfriend screams put the gun away

I told her love just saved the day

Let’s pack our stuff and run away
