Chorus
Am
What are you runnin' from, boy ask yourself
Where are you runnin' to
G
In which direction is your heart leaning
G
Sometimes you're runnin' this way
Sometimes you're runnin their way
Am
It's gonna catch up with you fall down
Over things that lead you astray
Verse
Am
I been runnin' since understandin confiscated my globe
G
Stuttering since expression stole the key to my soul
G
Struggling since victory presumed control
Am
Battling since the truth infiltrated my mold
Seeking to find a life in invisible hold
G
Traveling down a path of a difficult road
G
Running without a clue of being led astray
Am
Swearing I'm getting closer but really further away
Chorus
Verse
Am
Don't you sometimes sit back and look at yourself
G
Examine things in life you hate
But you've become get sick of yourself
G
The very images you claim lack worth
Am
Then with uncontrolled labor pains them very images you gave birth
This topic got me ceiling walkin
G
I'm so beside myself I'm lookin at me like I'm someone else
G
And I don't feel I'm talkin
I'm tryin to spit it best I can atcha
Am
Regain your focus and recapture attention grabbers
That keep you from runnin
Chorus
Verse
Am
In desolate times I wrestle at times
G
Feeling so neglected at times rejected at times
G
Hard to try to get out my mind hold to the soul
Am
Believing that its gonna be fine He's in control
Letting go the walk in the know forgetting the how
G
Strong enough to wait for the when to weaken the now
G
Put aside the question of why, this is allowed
Am
Running to the back of the line, looking for mine
Chorus
Verse
Am G
If dead men tell no tales how do you account
For the platinum rappers with millions of record sales
Am
Then tell me I ain't good cause my record fails
G
With a standard that's set to first-quarter sales
The truth shall prevail
Am
If I let you dictate it life would be stale
G
But I follow my lord who's been proven with the scars and nails
Am
Everybody busy funnin number one stunnin'
G
What else you get from yo mama
Nothin but heartache from all the runnin'
Verse
