Getaway (Runnin') - Sterling

Sittin on the balcony

It’s hella late at night

Breeze feels so good

But damn these mosquito bites

Listen to the crickets chirp.

This is what the life is like

Can I just get away some body pass me a light

And imma spark me up a jet and Imma jet

Congested cranium I got a lot on my mind

Struggling with demons like a heathen that’s beaten on my deep ends but on the

outside I be seemin' just fine

Don’t see the reason to whine although I’m tryna get cheese

Just continue to grind, or live ya life down on your knees

Negus please

Royalty runs in my veins so in life I expect the same

Hustle is the name of the game That’s why I’m playin'

Cuz too many other people made it tell me what’s another one?

Boy I’m grand like ya own momma’s momma’s momma’s son

Said I’m grand like reverse triple zero comma one

It’s a party on my trail like the Donners cuz

Blazin' a way to better days with more sun and some shade

Cold world, I’m stuck on changing its ways

Silver haze got me optimistic my dreams we could live it

But The come down comes now I see the dream finished

Feeling pitted

See grapes of wrath so I take dab

Why do I long so for something that we could never have?

But to spark a revolution is the resolution

Gassed up politicians fill the world up with pollution

Cops kill another kid, the protests turn to lootin'

Maybe when the hands are up we should stop the shootin'

See the institution is there just to hold the youth in

Set you up to fail seems like magic when you do win

Chuck D had solution gotta fight the power

Gotta light the tower

Alert the world gotta right the sour

In this hour

Can’t devour any more of the shit they try to pass off as substance

Gauging out my eyes when I’m listening to the pundits

Talking heads more like talking dead points redundant

Understand that all we want now is some abundance

So when I’m crusin' bumpin' tunes and coolin' don’t gotta worry

About the blue reds hatin' that I’m ballin' like a jersey

Pull me to the side hoping I just stay alive

Funny how protection got you prayin' you survive

Pull my out the whip and they tell me spread em wide

Askin if I got any drugs, guns or knives?

Say nothing wise to these guys that I despise

Thinkin' bout the charts like pieI wanna rise

Realize it’s suicide for me to say what’s on my mind

So I take a deep breath and close my eyes and remember when I.

Sittin on the balcony

It’s hella late at night

Breeze feels so good

But damn these mosquito bites

Listen to the crickets chirp.

This is what the life is like

Fuck that I gotta pound in the back nah my nigga I’m

(Runnin, runnin, runnin)

I ain’t never lookin back, that’s a fact I’m

(Runnin, runnin, runnin)

Said I’m on my j gatlin, when its comes to my passion I’m

(Runnin, runnin, runnin)

Cuz ain’t a damn thing change, hope the race rearrange I’m

(Runnin, runnin, runnin)

And Imma get it regardless

Cuz that’s the power I harness

I’m the good doc in the tardis

Assist the cause like I’m Jarvis

That’s why I’m goin' my hardest

I’m just trying to arrive before I’m dearly departed

Cuz you can pass in July and they’ll forget you by August

That’s why I gotta get started

Makin' moves to spread the truth

No accolades that I garnish

Will make this dude end pursuit

Cuz the only lasting impression are ones that cause obsession

Cuz the lessons that you reppin' hit like tekken

Beacon for a world of open eyes and a world of open minds

Lookin' for the fix well I’m serivin' coke n dimes

Pipin' through the underground may start to choke in mines

What I wrote this time are spoken rhymes of broken times

The only bind would be woken lines screaming «we not gonna take it»

like twisted sister

Mister Don’t miss the mister

My hits are grippers

Pulling at you innerds to get workin' like pistons

Cuz every time you listen, you wanna fight like Mr. Liston

Life ain’t always sunny but if the good outweighs then I won’t complain

But when injustice occur silent I cannot remain

Don’t give a damn bout losin' fans, just wanna share some common sense

Give it to you I’m on my Robin Thicke

No commas prick

Cuz I’m tryna get my run on

Understand that I can’t go and change the world with only one song

But Imma still go and write a Imma get it done song

I better get a stretch cuz the runs long homie I’m

(Runnin, Runnin, Runnin)

(Repeat till end)
