Runnin' Away Written By J-o-e

Every Time I Get Close To A Goal

It Seems I Can’t Stop Running Away

It Seems My Heart’s Turned To Coal

I…Cant…Keep…Running…Away…

Problems can be escalated in the hope there can be a solution

Like governments running away from the problem of pollution

We all need a change in our lives, one dies while the other survives

And they saying we overweight cause we decide to eat fries?

****’s crazy, I’ve been through the storm, Cats think bout they money

I may come across as a dummy but I don’t find this a bit funny

All of our lives trying to make it out of this long going hustle

Feeling the trouble cause we could never live past the struggle

They could never see thru a thugs eye, who would rather die

Meanwhile the little momma’s cry and police asking questions why?

I don’t have the answer, but I hope that we could live thru this

So as u spin this disc just realise there’s nothing else we could miss

Nobody had to live the way we did, trying to make money everyday

But every single day people ask us why we always run away…huh…

Every Time I Get Close To A Goal

It Seems I Can’t Stop Running Away

It Seems My Heart’s Turned To Coal

I…Cant…Keep…Running…Away…

It’s time to wonder why we never think about funeral before the wake

Like we never believe the things that are real, before we realise they fake

It’s exceptional, every day people wondering why people cry now

Then it ends in bloodshed, I guess everyone has to die now…

I took words from the gospel, from famous brothers preaching

To the sudden exceptions in life, from our own mothers teaching

Telling us that history repeats itself, so forget about Ur wealth

We need to take time out to try and think about our own health

My aim isn’t the same as the game, it’s just not the same anymore

The fame doesn’t come with Ur name, it’s strange when u hit the floor

Gangsters drinking Chris while they flossing up on the haters

But they never take the time out to explain the real money makers

There’s two different people in this world, legit or illicit, who decides

But before we make that final decision, the ones who do dies…huh…

Every Time I Get Close To A Goal

It Seems I Can’t Stop Running Away

It Seems My Heart’s Turned To Coal

I…Cant…Keep…Running…Away…

I’d never thought I’d live through the storm to feel this nice and warm

Nothings better than to perform in front of thousands, then thugs swarm

Take the stage by physical means, but why do our dreams die out?

And when shots fill up the block, why does momma’s just cry out

There’s no point in thinking about the truth, you’ll come across a bastard

Who u wished would be rapped in the plastic but the police radio’s static

Couldn’t I live the way that my own father asked me to lead

But why do all the things I need come from being spiteful and full of greed

Like Nino you’ll cancel that bitch, forget everyone with that snitch

Time to grow up and believe the things that turn out to be bull****

I’ll like to dispose of all unworthy playa’s in this ****ed up system

And the charges go out on me because all the girlies kissed him

I don’t like the fact that the rain don’t stop, we need to pray

But until them my people, I’d be the first to be running away…huh…

Every Time I Get Close To A Goal

It Seems I Can’t Stop Running Away

It Seems My Heart’s Turned To Coal

I…Cant…Keep…Running…Away…
