Runnin [Pharcyde]

Can't keep runnin' away.....

(Fat Lip)

I must admit on some occasions I went out like a punk

and a chump or a sucka or something to that effect

Respect I used to never get it when all I got was upset

when niggas used to be like "What's up fool!" and tried

to sweat a nigga like the Lip for no reason at all I can

recall crip niggas throwin' "c" in my face down the hall

I'm kickin' it in the back of the school eatin' chicken at

three wonderin' why is everybody always pickin' on me

I tried to talk and tell them chill I did nothing to deserve

this But when it didn't work I wasn't scared just real

nervous and unprepared to deal with scrappin' no doubt

cuz my pappy never told me how to knock a nigga out

But now in 95 I must survive as a man on my own Fuck

around with Fat Lip yes ya get blown I'm not tryin' to show

no macho is shown but when it's on, if it's on, then it's on!

Can't keep runnin' away.....

(Slim Kid3)

There comes a time in every man's life when he's gotta

handle shit up on his own Can't depend on friends to

help you in a squeeze, please they got problems of their

own Down for the count on seven chicken shits don't

get to heaven til they faced these fears in these fear

zones Used to get jacked back in high school I played

it cool just so some real shit won't get full blown Being

where I'm from they let the smoke come quicker than an

evil red-neck could lynch a helpless colored figure And

as a victim I invented low-key til the keyhole itself got

lower than me So I stood up and let my free form form

free Said I'm gonna get some before their knockin' out

me I don't sweat it I let the bullshit blow in the breeze

In other words just freeze

Can't keep runnin' away.....

(Knumbskull #1)

It's 1995 now that I'm older stress weighs on my shoulders

heavy as boulders but I told y'all til the day that I die I

still will be a soldier and that's all I told ya and that's all

I showed ya and all this calamity is rippin my sanity Can

it be I'm a celebrity whose on the brink of insanity Now

don't be wishin' of switchin' any positions with me cuz

when you in my position, it ain't never easy to do any

type of maintaining cuz all this gaming and famin' from

entertainin' is hella straining to the brain and.. But I can't

keep runnin I just gotta keep keen and cunnin'

Can't keep runnin' away.....

Ya can't keep runnin' away.....
