Another Day

Run run runaway
Come again another day
I was doing good
Then you showed up
Now it's pouring rain

Run run runaway
I don't wanna see your face
Everybody knows that when I leave
I'm leaving not a trace

I was running
Jogging with my puppy
I could feel it
Winters coming

My melanin ain't built for that
Yeah I ain't changing colors
I Blew my effin engine
So there's no more burning rubber

Used to wonder why it was so hard to love each other
The only time we feel it's
When we wrestle undercover
I'm friendly but I love my time and peace
I love my lover

I told me from the jump if this ain't it
Then I won't blubber
The other night I found myself a mess
She cleaned my water

And now I wonder why I feel like
No life
Sorry if you catch me on my Drake
I need more life

Long nights
Working for third
Singing frank nights

Hate fights
Everydays a show
Where my smoke pipe?

So now I'm running
Everybody need you
Give us all your energy
But we ain't gonna please You

We just gonna squeeze you
We just gonna bleed you
Always say I call it like I see it
Don't believe you
(Believe me)

Run run runaway
Come again another day
I was doing good
Then you showed up
Now it's pouring rain

Run run runaway
I don't wanna see your face
Everybody knows that when I leave
I'm leaving not a trace

Run run runaway
Come again another day
I was doing good
Then you showed up
Now it's pouring rain

Run run runaway
I don't wanna see your face
Everybody knows that when I leave
I'm leaving not a trace

Now I'm running
Won't pick up the phone
You don't need me
It ain't personal
But if you know me
You'd see
You don't

And I ain't driving slow
No I'm speeding
With fingers crossed
The piggies with the poles never see me

Running
I'm honest
I been feeling a way
My insecurities is juvenile
Having field day
And I was
Hoping I could get out the way
Cause everywhere I go they saying I'm too bright for the space

Back like I got something to prove
All soul rhythm and blues
Heart was under their shoes
Y'all slow pick up the cues
I'm steady dropping the clues
My focus was on the views
in debt from paying my dues

I brush it off
For bigger checks I put the green in me
Investing my time and money on building blocks for my dreams
A battle swimming upstream
I'm rapping to blow off steam
The day is young
Night is mean
Around the clock
I'm a fiend

These feelings catch up to me
Like I'm running laps
Been more concerned
With running in the physical
Metaphor
For how I wanna run from everything
With my little boy
I let him off the leash to let him know he ain't prisoner
Been prisoner before
Starts in the mind 'fore it hit the world
And suddenly your rides a little bumpy
Like hitting curbs
In hoods I'm driving fast
But I slow down when I'm in the burbs
I'm saucy with these words
Like I got mixed with the spice and the herbs

Now I'm back to singing
Another day to find my pot to pee in
Everything ain't black and white
But greys the only thing I'm seeing

What's the reason?
I struggle everyday to find my meaning
They say life ain't bout the money
But I'm slaving to believe it

Fighting demons
For months I've just been on the attack
Was losing touch with all my reasons
Blame the rona for that

Was losing youth stuck in a season
Bring the winter flow back
I cut my wings living for everyone
But not for myself

It's just another day
Being broke
Being young
Feeling old
Living life for a goal
With the hope I could soar

It's way too often that I think
I swear there's got to be more
I guess I'll never find my happy
If I'm stuck mining coal

This is corporation
And every single person is a piece in this machine
They're forcing your cooperation.
This ain't just a contemplation

But I know many don't care
Cause if the money buys me heaven then I wanna be there

Don't want the life that I'm connected to connected to hell
But if I rap bout something stupid then I'm sure it'll sell
Won't let em try me
Change my name to Scotty P
It's me vs the world

But every time I'm left alone
I'm left alone with these words
They'll soon forget what they heard
Cause they weren't listening

We'll never close the distance
Cause existence is so dissonant
It was never bout the message but was always bout who's spittin it
They threw us to the world with zero guidance and the internet
I'm gone

I'm never answering my phone
It's just another day

The Sage is back
The flame is back
I told you I'm a Phoenix
So I rise from ash
Yeah
