Grits - Runnin' lyrics

runnin runnin

lookin for that love i once knew

runnin runnin

trying to find my way back to you

i been runnin since understandin confiscated my globe

stuttering since expression stole the key to my soul

struggling since victory presumed control

battling since the truth infiltrated my mold

seeking to find a life in invisible hold

traveling down a path of a difficult road

running without a clue of being left astray

swearing im getting closer but really further away

runnin

don't you sometimes sit back and look at yourself

examine things in life you hate but you've become get sick of yourself

the very images you claim lack worth

then with uncontrolled labor pains them very images you gave birth

this topic got me ceiling walkin

i'm so beside myself i'm lookin at me like i'm someone else and i don't feel i'm talkin

i'm tryin to spit it best i can atcha

(your life you really need to rid it of) attention grabbers that keep you from runnin

runnin

my desires lead me right to you

the very thing that has me runnin

back to you

in desilate times i wrestle at times

feeling so neglected at times rejected at times

hard to try to get out my mind hold to the soul

believing that its gonna be fine hes in control

letting go the walk in the know forgetting the how

strong enough to wait for the when to weaken the now

put aside the question of why, this is allowed (?)

running to the back of the line

looking for mine, looking for mine, lookin for mine...

if dead men tell no tales

(yo) how do you account for the platinum rappers with millions of record sales

then tell me i aint good cuz my record fails

with a standard that's set to first-quarter sales the truth shall prevail

if i let you dictate it life would be stale (whoo)

but i follow my lord who's been proven with the scars and nails

everybody busy funnin number one stunnin

what else you get from yo mama

nothin but heartache from all the runnin
