Running Lyrics - G-eazy

Keep on keep running 

Running and running 

Keep on keep running 

And listen up, I'm from that Bay 

Where slang originates, don't even know what cats say 

'06 I remember back in that day 

A rubber band around a broken CD player slapping Mac Dre 

And back then it was Girbauds wearing bigger clothes 

The bay was popping, Keak da Sneak had different flows 

And when '07 came, the hyphy movement's window closed 

Hearts broke but fuck it, what the way this business goes 

But Uncle 40 Water kept it going 

25 years in the game and he's still making choices 

Then I moved to New Orleans where they shucking oysters 

Everybody speak in southern voices 

Home sick, I felt like this was pointless 

Culture shock, like what's going on 

Had me feeling like I don't belong 

My bro said "Look, this music's all that you should focus on" 

They'll understand you soon, it won't be long

Nobody's perfect, yeah we act a fool 

Imma keep on running, nothing's new 

Guess I'll keep doing what I naturally do 

I'll always keep on running back to you 

Yeah, they say, the more things change, the more they stay the same 

So Imma always play the game 

Yeah, so if I lose today, then I'm not ashamed 

Cause times are gonna change 

Skipping school, blowing blunts in the parking lot 

Back in those days, used to spark a lot 

Far fetched dreams we would talk about 

Making it in rap, tryna start a plot 

Tryna crack the code, how a star gets hot 

But from where we standing, that's the farthest spot 

Ash the blunt and mob cause the cops love to bark a lot 

Always fun in trouble, it don't matter if its dark or not 

Scrapping after school cause they love to test you 

Just to see if you're a mark or not 

And I remember what did move me 

Is I was in juvie, never giving fucks, acting unruly 

Being away from making music, I understood it then truly 

And what it did to me 

Ankle monitor for 6 months 

I couldn't go outside, this shit sucks 

Independent study, went to school just once a week 

And spent every single other day home making beats 

That's how it happened 

Nobody's perfect, yeah we act a fool 

Imma keep on running, nothing's new 

Guess I'll keep doing what I naturally do 

I'll always keep on running back to you 

Yeah, they say, the more things change, the more they stay the same 

So Imma always play the game 

Yeah, so if I lose today, then I'm not ashamed 

Cause times are gonna change 

Since curfews and cartoons, its been the same team 

Just a few youngsters growing up who had the same dream 

Moved away when I was 18 

But Marty though, he had the car, he had the girls 

So he just stayed put in the same scene 

And I was jealous, in my eyes he had it 

Living solo, had his hustle, spent his free time rapping 

He said this shit ain't all that nice and that's what you forgetting 

Promised if either of us makes it I'll come back and get them 

Finally got a pop so hes coming on the road 

And while we're touring everything is gold 

When its finished then its back to work to grill food 

I know you hate that 9 to 5, I know it kills you 

Just know I feel you 

I'm trying to fix shit up 

I'm trying to make it so we all can chill and live it up 

I'm throwing parties and my day ones right here in the cut 

Yeah, that's the least bro you've been in my corner since the jump 

Nobody's perfect, yeah we act a fool 

Imma keep on running, nothing's new 

Guess I'll keep doing what I naturally do 

I'll always keep on running back to you 

Yeah, they say, the more things change, the more they stay the same 

So Imma always play the game 

Yeah, so if I lose today, then I'm not ashamed 

Cause times are gonna change
