The Race

Ten toes down, so I'm runnin' down a dream, Wide 13s got me livin' out a theme Two sides, the gemini, I'm one man, many names, many fames, through these lands Somethin' like Luigi Pirandello, some think I'm mellow, others think I bellow I can't keep straight, what you may make, let me get it narrow, royal blue like a Pharaoh Set free to be me, release the heat - chips back on my back, I'm not beat Run the one-man gauntlet among my beings, don't give many greetings, cause of my many feelings For the simple minds? Go head, forget about me! When I pass on, go head & sing about me All this time, I ain't never set a pace, I'm no rat, I can't, run your race Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race I was flying in limbo, they can’t knock my shoes, I’m rockin’ the Timbos Wait, those Emilios – hit ‘em with the bam bam! Flintstone, hit ‘em with the homegrown Full Circle, baby! Catch me with the Speed of Sound, all around town with the ladies Please don’t mess with the ladies, don’t mess with the vibes, we ain’t really tryin’a catch you outside If I see you and don’t speak? We ain’t on that level for you to see me breathe Catch your breath like you catch these lefts, catch these rights like faded nights That’s black & blue like it’s gone corrupt, that’s enforcement with zero fucks Did I get too real? Did I get too political? Wake up, y’all – it ain’t so simple Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race Keep it movin', from the forward to the sky, we all flourish, get a piece of the pie Even The Rock can't smell what I'm cookin'! The future? Looks so reassuring Like Tropicana, I got all the juice! Chains off, time to let the dog loose When it's time, I gather all my troops, take the losses, begin to recoup The homie said, "Small Wins Over Time", try to balance it out with some overtime The rest say, "Work smarter, not harder", try to maintain focus, never stray & wander Wanting wishes like Cosmo and Wanda, when the day go by, huh - I sit and wonder Bout the sky, deluxe apartment, how I can get it, with the fancy garments Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race
