The Run Around

"I'd like to introduce myself" - Biz Markie 'One MC, One DJ' [Verse One] I'm wasting time writing poignant rhymes I got a better chance getting paid with an unemployment line I'm hot and unsigned, my blood boils Been shot down so many times, I'm surprised I ain't struck oil Empty promises, pitiful label politics I've suffered ages man, save a vote of confidence I've been polished, go ahead and put the wax on I'm gonna shine man, I'm not gon' be passed on Y'all rapping cats need to sit and listen Ripping me is like a Siamese twins making a split decision My inner vision is 20/20 with no blind spot And flow y'all set a watch to, like the theme of 60 Minutes I'm getting into this to raise the stakes But I'm the type to tip the table if I hate the way the game is played Cause I can walk away with nothing and laugh Before y'all get the satisfaction of fucking with Raks [Hook] {x2} It's the run around I get the run around Y'all can keep your contract, I don't want it now Yeah, these labels man, they giving me the run around It's the run around I get the run around [Verse Two] So I'm reserved And introverted at best Cause I'm trying not to relate like a paternity test And when I'm bustin' it's nothing short of divinity Yeah I flirt with success but yet to take her virginity To put it simply, I'm working hard I've been planting seed for years and I still ain't seen a harvest A starving artist that's an arduous task But yo I bite the hand that feeds and break it's arm right in half I'll rip you off of the dome for dissing me Plus release a written track to add insult to injury Up in this industry to win you gotta break bread And I make enemies a lot quicker than I make friends You want a favor? I'd rather die I wouldn't pull no strings for you if we did a tandem skydive Cause I can walk away with nothing and laugh Before y'all get the satisfaction of fucking with Raks [Hook] {x2} I keep running, running, I keep running {x4} It's the run around, yeah, the run around
