Runnin' lyrics

[Intro]

Runnin', runnin'

Lookin' for that love I once knew

Runnin', I'm runnin'

Trying to find my way back to you

[Verse 1]

I've 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 mould

Seeking to find a life in invisible hold

Traveling down the path of a difficult road

Runnin' without a clue of being laid astray

Swearing I'm getting closer but really further away

[Chorus 1]

Runnin', runnin'

Lookin' for that love I once knew

Runnin', I'm runnin'

Trying to find my way back to you

[Verse 2]

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

We gonna grab your attention grabbers that keep you from runnin'

[Chorus 2]

Runnin', lookin' for you

Said I'm runnin'

Runnin', lookin' for you

Said I'm runnin'

[Verse 3]

In desolate 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 it's gonna be fine, he's 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

[Chorus 1]

Runnin', runnin'

Lookin' for that love I once knew

Runnin', I'm runnin'

Trying to find my way back to you

[Verse 4]

If dead men tell no tales, how do you account

For the platinum rappers with millions of record sales

Then tell me I ain't 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

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'

[Refrain]

Runnin', my desire's lead me right to

The very thing that has me runnin' back to you

Runnin', runnin'

Runnin', my desires lead me right to

The very thing that has me runnin' back to you

Runnin', runnin'

[Chorus 2]

Runnin', lookin' for you

Said I'm runnin'

Runnin', lookin' for you

Said I'm runnin'

Trying to find my way back to you

[Outro]

Runnin', runnin'

Lookin' for that love I once knew

Runnin', I'm runnin'

Trying to find my way back to you
