(Marc Goone Verse)
Everyday I wake up, take a rip, same sh**, tryin to make a hit
Cause me and Mary Jane go way back
But don't know how long she gonna pay the rent
My friends say they hate the job
Then look at me like I'm crazy dog
I know they thinking if you were gonna make it
Then you would've already made it dog
I swear to god my city is where big dreams can go to die
Cause every one of my friends; I feel they're dropping out like flies
Buying houses and wifeing spouses, working 9 to 5's
And not that I ain't happy for them
Just I don't want that life
(Hook)
I stay running and I chase nothing
A new town everyday, I wake up in
Just say nothing, even though we got something
Still the stage, only place, I make love in
When you never have to work for anything at all
Take a look into the mirror that's hanging on the wall
And see your own worst enemy
(Kyle Lucas Verse)
It's like every day's been the same thing, staring down at this blank page
Say that I need a hit
No sh** b**h I need to change
I was banking on when my bank account
Maybe one day hopefully seeing a raise
Maybe one day having all these bills on time
That I be able to pay
Being underrated, so overrated
Everybody in ya town well they swear ya made it
That's not the case so when you try to explain it
Comes across complaining, comes across ungrateful
Cause they swear that you famous
But they don't really see all the sacrifice's
That I made they ignore all my anguish
sh**, my pen sk**s, they been ill
Doesn't really matter, I'm on mess still
Feels like I'm running on a treadmill
My career right now has been dead still
Can't see clear through the windshield
Treat me cold like the wind chill
Think I'm a joke like Ben Still
But I'm a Man on Fire, more Denzel
And my parents proud, but how the hell can I face em
When I can't even pay rent
Folks keep saying be patient
Feels like my whole world about to cave in
Then I got an email from a girl
Saying a song I wrote saved her life
Put it all on perspective, after I read it, it's gonna be alright (alright)
(Hook)
I stay running and I chase nothing
A new town everyday, I wake up in
Just say nothing, even though we got something
Still the stage, only place, I make love in
When you never have to work for anything at all
Take a look into the mirror that's hanging on the wall
And see your own worst enemy
(Bridge)
Ain't got a pot to piss on, but I'ma write a hit song
And everything that is wrong
Will go and right itself
Ain't got a pot to piss on, but I'ma write a hit song
And everything that is wrong
Will go and right itself
I keep lying to myself, lying to myself, lying to myself
I keep lying to myself
(Hook)
I stay running and I chase nothing
A new town everyday, I wake up in
Just say nothing, even though we got something
Still the stage, only place, I make love in
When you never have to work for anything at all
Take a look into the mirror that's hanging on the wall
And see your own worst enemy
