Lightyear

Boy don't run, don't run, don't run Boy don't run, don't run, don't run Boy don't run, don't Black star Black eyes All black everything Reppin for my district F*ck 12, Katniss Everdeen Why aren't you in school Rather peel like a tangerine Plus I'm not a hero Let's keep it one hundred I know way too many zeros Rep that set life like Deniro MJ said it first, if you wanna see it clearer Just take one look in the mirror Mine's distorted and I fear the image looking back at me Attacking me, and backing me down into this corner of my room Am I doomed to die alone cause my mind is like a tomb No matter how much space I leave I can never keep it shut I see faces in the leaves and hear voices in the breeze Am I living too fast is my past catching up to me Did I free my inner child or is my inner child holding custody Haunting me, answers to these questions that I do not know Although I hate to prolong, this is just the prologue Stick around to the end of the show See how it go, does he make it out Or does he stay in too long I need to be free Before I say so long Help me right my wrongs, Peace. Running to the finish gotta get me some money Call me day dream even though I'm not sunny I'm just running for my life yeah, my life yeah Looking like a slight year another light year ahead Another light year ahead Another light year ahead Another light year ahead I play with a darker matter like the negro leagues I came up from out the mud like Jesus did I feel like I can give heaven to a heathen Be a reverend to a thief And a beacon to a few at least I've been living on borrowed time Buried a few friends of mine OG keep a loaded nine Held it to my head sometimes This is not the story that they telling you on Fox News and CNN This a first person view I'm letting you see me in This is my depression, my connection with the streets in fact This is my obsession, my profession is perfectionist I buried two friends as a teenager I witnessed the murder of my next door neighbor I moved to the suburbs hoping it be safer The police pulled me over and harassed me I just glad he didn't search my bags in the backseat I had an edible and some codeine I got too many fears and anxieties I'm going in Head under water but a towel I ain't throwing in Cash keep on rolling in, Circle keeps on closing in Rap used to be the world, now my bars feel like the pen. They say the word rapper the new "n*gger" So if you grab a mic you squeeze the trigger That's why so many capping 'bout their figures But Dream will split a cap 'bout his figures Running to the finish gotta get me some money Call me day dream even though I'm not sunny I'm just running for my life yeah, my life yeah Looking like a slight year another light year ahead Another light year ahead Another light year ahead Another light year ahead Don't run, don't run, don't run Boy don't run, don't run, don't run Don't run, don't run, don't run Don't run, don't run
