One foot behind me, one on the line,
So many problems I keep running all the time.
Sometimes you gotta face 'em though you come from behind,
But don't chase the whole pack, catch 'em one at a time.
Yo you gotta keep runnin' once you hear the gun and,
It produces fear when they hear you coming.
Just stay in your lane though and fight through the pain,
Cause pain is like a thing, it bites through your brain.
So much you overcame don't worry about the rain,
Just remember Ali on the day you light the flame.
Until then you keep runnin' cause victory is summoned,
It don't matter, man, if you a man or woman.
The ones who win that's who you see prevail,
The ones who lose refuse to bleed or frail.
So close to the edge yall I can see the rail,
The ones who gave up hit their knees and fell.
And have you ever noticed all the ones who've seen hell,
Will make it to the finish line heave and flail?
You may see this as a story, yo, even a tale,
It might sound crazy but I can't even tell.
See some things basic, pain you gotta face it,
Most minds are chained they remain like a bracelet.
So near to the finish line,yo, I can taste it,
I don't run from change motherfucker I embrace it.
Everything negative within you erase it,
Some hit the wall, others deface it.
They say to know your place,
I say you replace it.
You gotta know the pace,
You gotta be patient.
Watch how you breathe, yo, watch your form,
You're running out of time like a watch deformed.
Some choose to fail, that is not the norm,
You gotta open all the windows up and watch the storm.
Anticipate the rain, train for the pour,
Til every ounce of your frame is game for war.
Somebody once told me that, I wasn't so sure,
Now I'm telling you I seek the same rapport.
I was told everything is lost in time,
No matter what you win when you cross the line.
And that's a win/win though it's all sublime,
It's just a couple of things that had crossed my mind.
I'm still out here running.
You gotta keep running.
You gotta keep running
You gotta keep running.
But you can't keep running.
