Daveed Diggs - Running Down lyrics

[HOOK] Ya see me running Ya see me running, running, running on Down, down, down, down (Ya) down, down, down Ya see me running Ya see me running, running, running on Down, down, down, down (Ya) down, down, down, down, down [VERSE 1] If I'm tumbling down Could I count on you To tell me that I can easily Find an answer That I'm bound to But I just wanna be fly Shouldn't I have other cares? Lookin' at you in the sky You give me nothing to run with So I go down And after a while, I love it Others have died for you Understand that I have tried for you Prayed every day And I ride for you While other sons of yours lie to you But to try to wear the crown's The only love I've ever known So I keep on chasing frowns I'm running down on my own, yeah [HOOK] Ya see me running Ya see me running, running, running on Down, down, down, down (Ya) down, down, down Ya see me running Ya see me running, running, running on Down, down, down, down (Ya) down, down, down, down, down [VERSE 2] I'm up in the sky Punkin' the clouds Hunting for the one who brought me around The ground I left Had to be y'all Cause people down there Still pa**in' their doubts So run like I wanted to share ‘em with something They scared of becoming someone out the norm So they don't like to see me Not care and perform There I'm war between the base and narrow the storm The rain comes down like a metronome When I'm left alone Don't fault my lines Sometimes they creak when I get trombone Get it? Blown Get me a stone Got quite a Goliath to triumph Then I got a shot with the records I sling I could be king But once a giant What if I'm too high and lose sight of things? [HOOK] Ya see me running Ya see me running, running, running on Down, down, down, down (Ya) down, down, down Ya see me running Ya see me running, running, running on Down, down, down, down (Ya) down, down, down, down, down [VERSE 3: Daveed Diggs] Metaphorically speakin' The nine is co*ked Watching my life Like the years of a clock I've seen it all before This footage is stock Like chickens, we flip ‘em The grandfather clock Claws, paws The pendulum's stuck Just right of the center My rhetoric's f**ed So I can say nothing That isn't considered legitimate Listen, my n*gga, I'm just A rapper, not Jesus Why must I be this Politically conservative beast No h*mo, no love Begging, blowin'-dro drug With no reading, no reason No pleasin' nobody I'm tired Race like a demon ‘a speed I be needing to take Just to keep up Me? I needing a break The big one is coming They tell me I wait (It's too late; we already) [HOOK] Ya see me running Ya see me running, running, running on Down, down, down, down (Ya) down, down, down Ya see me running Ya see me running, running, running on Down, down, down, down (Ya) down, down, down, down, down
