Songtext The running man Vince Staples

The running man

'Bout time for a revolution
Dark times for the melanated
One-time done hit the block, like clockwork
Time for an execution

Run, run, run, run, run
Let's go
Run, run, run, run, run
Let's go

Light at the end of the tunnel
I know the reaper is coming
I can't pretend I don't love you, life is a bad bitch
Embrace her bursting your bubble, don't be a savage
Another death in the jungle, you'd better— (Run, run, run, run, run)
Silly nigga, get a gun (Gun, gun, gun, gun, gun)
Pull the trigger
There's a war going on outside that no man is safe from

Can't hide, can't run (Run, run, run, run, run)
Let's go
Let's go
Let's go
Lost in translation
Can't find my religion, is God on vacation?
I just punched my ticket at Grand Minstrel Station
I left all my baggage, had nothing worth taking
I'm rushing, not chasing, I'm tired
Controlled by my worldly desires
I miss when I used to aspire
My feet to the fire, stumbled into Hell again

Can't hide, can't run (Run, run, run, run, run)
Can't hide, can't run (Let's go)
Run, run, run, run, run
Can't hide, can't run (Let's go)
Run, run, run, run, run
Can't hide, can't run (Let's go)
Run, run, run, run, run
Can't hide, can't run (Let's go)

I can't catch my breath
Heart-shaped hole inside my chest
Lost my hope and happiness
Can't retrace my steps
Far away from where I left
Nothing's there's for me but death
Blessing after blessing, had to give 'fore I received them
Passing down the lessons learned from stepping on the cement
Graves from minor grievances, I still ain't finished grieving
Never talked to therapists and rarely called on Jesus
Don't pick up my phone a lot, I like to be alone in thought
"Stolen Youth" and "Broken Hearts", I know you think I changed
Music is a nightmare, I feel like Dana Dane
All I have is pain

Can't hide, can't run (Run, run, run, run, run)
Can't hide, can't run (Let's go)
Run, run, run, run, run
Can't hide, can't run (Let's go)
Run, run, run, run, run
Can't hide, can't run (Let's go)
Run, run, run, run, run
Can't hide, can't run
