THE RUN

Yeah

Stuck to the plan and I kept this shit in motion
Self-preservation over self-promotion, ultra-focus
Still in my element, the boy is golden
Took long enough for some of y'all to notice
Took advantage of the important moments
Just to prove that I'm more than a famous poet
Now they call me "Chief Executive Owner"
T'wasn't overnight, I had to stay devoted

Been had this vision already on the agenda way before I met with niggas that would mix the soda
Back when I had to go to Citi's spot to pick my clothes up
Before Christ and I would share a sofa, working on music, creating album folders
I just knew that it was far from over, and I'm only getting closer even if I could, I wouldn't do it over

Now I got the crown on my head and the city on my shoulders
Heavy-duty, although I hate to sound cliché
I lived the kinda life they gotta write about and make a movie
Build a stature, make a hologram
Even curriculums in school would just have to include me
And I'm looking past my opps, they just an illusion

Out here causing confusion
I know the motive is to get between me and the music (yeah)
Before tryna capture the wave, they would just slumber away
Now that you're finally awake, you should just number your days
This not a drill or a phase, we're really runnin' the game

I've been, yeah, yeah
Running this, feel like I've been running this shit, nah for real, yeah
I've been running this, feel like I've been running this shit, nah
And it ain't been the same
Yeah, I came for everything but never wanted fame
Counting on the money, hoping it will make the pain go
But I make umbrellas out of money when it rains though

Running (yeah)
Running this, feel like I've been running this shit, nah for real (now for real)
I've been (run)
I've been running this, feel like I've been running this shit, dawg
And it ain't been the same
Yeah, I came for everything but never wanted fame
Counting on the money, hoping it will make the pain go
But I make the money... (did you hear that?)

I've been, yeah
Running this, feel like I've been running this shit, nah for real (now for real) yeah
I've been running this, feel like I've been running this shit, nah
And it ain't been the same
Yeah, I came for everything but never wanted fame
Counting on the money, hoping it will make the pain go
But I make umbrellas out of money when it rains though

Running (yeah)
Running this, feel like I've been running this shit, nah for real (nah for real)
I've been (run)
I've been running this, feel like I've been running this shit, dawg
And it ain't been the same
Yeah, I came for everything but never wanted fame
Counting on the money, hoping it will make the pain go
But I make the money

Yeah, I think we got it (got it)
