Tekst piosenki
[Intro] Aight.. It went down like this A day just like today Just...doing my thing, you know? [Hook X2] Look before you leap, walk before you run Run from anything that threatens peaceful existence Look before you leap, walk before you run Run as far as you can until you reach a safe distance We've been running from day one Never even thought to ask why or what from Only taught to run, only taught to run Only taught to run, only taught to run I learned how to walk at age one And wasn't satified until I learned how to run At age eighteen I didn't want to run But I had to run from the shots fired by a gun Fourty-eight hours, two cycles of the sun I couldn't run from the shock that paralyzed my tongue It made not want to speak a word to anyone Felt like the breath had been stolen from my lungs Who would've told my mother that she lost her youngest son Tears in her eyes standing there feeling stunned To hear that her baby fell victim to a gun Playing basketball outside having fun It's sad but it happens all the time where I'm from So I grew up thinking I'd never reach twenty-one It's sad but it happens all the time where I'm from But I'm still here, cause I learned how to run [Hook X2] My inner city people Put your hands up if you're feeling me I'm not alone running from fear of cops killing me Running from utilities, running from responsibilities Running from flashbacks and memories It's funny how we run into the arms of strong women Run away when its time to talk about committment I've seen women, run away from Mr. Right Then turn around and say that there ain't no good men in sight Even thugs run when the streets turn into hell Some run to the cops cause its safer in a cell Some cats used to run the streets and act fool Got robbed and didn't run but they had to run their jewels Some used to run shit on basketball courts They got kids now running from child support It's sad but it happens all the time where I'm from Sometimes I wish that we never learned how to run [Hook X2]
