W-w-w-w-weeks since I been to sleep before a quarter to 4 o’clock

But still manage to be the kid that they call fresh more than not

Once again from the city when and where February cries

Weeps freeze and the homeless go to sleep prepared to die

Where exes send friend requests just to take’em back within a week

Getting’ off on makin’ a return just to make a retreat

4am phone calls blowin’ up my dirt cheap LG

A good friend tellin’ me she’s gonna end it this time, she weeps

She wants someone to care the same as anybody else

But surely it ain’t the time to tell’er it’s bigger than herself

Don’t start me how hard it is to smile when you feel cursed

My mother spent her lifetime as a clinical cancer nurse

I flirt between the dirt and church with a murderous smirk

And’ll be the first to tell ya “Trust me, this won’t hurt...

Much”. Whether or not ya live shouldn’t be your worry

There’s things in life worse than death, ma. So what’s your hurry?

Pre Chorus

Same pants, different shirt, old ride, new gas

You can hear them sayin’ “Who dat, but hold up homie, who that?”

Set the record lookin’ too cool and too lax

Rolled through mid semester and brought the back-to-school back

-

Chorus

Run, Run

Screamin’ through the night, pacin’ with bullets against time

Run, Run

They’ll never catch’em, but he’ll lead’em on just enough to

Run, Run

You shoulda known better

Run, Run

They say he’s something else

-

I was born upon the border where they shoot the missiles over

The golden city, a gulf and a hurricane couldn’t corner

I’m well supported beneath the floor of the basement quarters

Tryin’ to uproot me is like tryin’ to catch a mortar

Shell. We go well along with bad decisions

And liquor to gap the difference and make up for lack of livin’

I’m givin’ it what I’m given: piss, vinegar, venom

And swag like mufucka. So many ways to get it

Pre Chorus

Chorus

He’s somethin’ else

That man ain’t got nothin’ to lose

Oh, he’s somethin’ else

Mama didn’t raise no tool

Pre Chorus
