Ricky Conaway - Runnin' lyrics

(Keep on, keep running Running and running Keep on, keep running) And these days a mile's like an inch But f** it I'll be runnin til I'm lyin' in a ditch And I been workin cause this sh**'ll all fine when I'll be rich So i rarely have the time for gettin wild as a b**h But it's whatever, though I live and breathe music from the head to toe I don't know an exit door I don't waste a second of a minute on a petty hoe I'm way too focused on bein the best to ever flow For now it's me against the world and it's a rubber match But I got it in the corner so its stuck and trapped I watch my homies stories, see em turnin' up on Snap But I'm at home, I pick a beat then turn it up and snap Unless they fam then i ain't giving anybody dap People are snakes and I kinda don't wanna f** wit dat I steady run it forward just so they can run it back 'til i got a hunnid stacks.. (Keep on, keep running Running and running Keep on, keep running Running and running Keep on, keep running) Keep it real or keep it movin' The more i have around me the harder it is to do it All these people are frauds, I call in seek of the truest Time has helped me develop the art of just seein' thru it Part of me's independent, part of me needs influence Part of me knows it's stupid, part of me's so conclusive Part of me sees the music awful and just a nuisance The cost bein the truest, it all could leave me in ruins but I'm Dreaming overnight, of rockin open mics In the corner bumpin' Eminem and Obie Trice Who you know as nice? hot as hell and cold as ice And to these rappers, though, my flow is like a poltergeist But this the life we chose Of playin nightly shows I'm earning stripes Go Adidas on these Nike hoes To live in paradise and roll inside a pricy rolls Pick a pair of dice and roll.. (Keep on, keep running Running and running Keep on, keep running Running and running Keep on, keep running) I think it's bout time I finally get glimpse of my shine But if I get too much of it I'll probably die blind If there's anything thing I've learned in being in that high sky Eventually you gotta fall from cloud nine And no one seems to get up on a beat without lying Tell me where the hell would Ricky be without Ryan? Not a single rapper that he didn't out rhyme I'll be spittin out lines 'til i fizzle out dyin, don't forget it Progression' up the stairs the way I'm risin' Sit here for a second and the air is kinda silent Used to my depression, so i rarely try to hide it Look at my reflection and I barely recognize it I became the person I said I never would be I know it more than anyone that effort is key But I swear I'll be a failure when I'm resting in peace If I don't make it to the end of this dream So I remember to breathe... (Keep on, keep running Running and running Keep on, keep running Running and running Keep on, keep running Running and running Keep on, keep running Running and running)
