Nowhere To Run
(专辑: White Jesus: Revival - 2012)
I
want to run away Because I
know there's got to be a
better place Sometimes I
really want to run away But the
more I
try the
more I
can't escape Because there ain't no where to run Instead I'm drunk, praying to the
Lord Saying "here I
come" Sitting on my bed with a
loaded gun Pointed at my head And then my girlfriend screams put the
gun away I
told her "love just saved the
day Let's pack our stuff and run away From all this bullshit" Man, I
hate my life, my job I
feel like my days is all Working nine to five And give her five to eleven Limping in my front door looking tired and sweating Last thing I
feel like doing is going and writing a
record My fucking socks are soaking wet, my girl gotta go to bed These opposite schedules getting harder to manage Working in a
kitchen with a
bunch of Mexicans And I
swear motherfuckers talk about me in Spanish My only plan is to make it rapping After so long you start thinking if this shit was meant to be, it'd happen If it wasn't for my homie Yelawolf believing in me I'd still probably be feeling like my dream was shattered Cause my team is scattered, but now I
got a
second chance It's time to get the
fire back At a
young age, I
done developed so many bad habits I
feel like I'mma have to snort a
line to even try to write a
rap On top of that, I
can't afford the
power bill Rapping ain't paying, making nine dollars an hour still Can't afford to have a
kid, can't afford to put my girl on the
pill Plus I
hate the
way a
condom feel How does your family feel about your music, about your numbers? They said it was dumb and never gave a
shit I
be smiling now, when they tell me they proud But then the
climate turn around and say some racist shit So it's straining my relationship I
told my girl, I
need her, I'd never leave her if I
made it big One day I
want to marry you, and raise a
kid Gone all night long, but I
ain't chasing chicks I'm trying to write, but always feeling like I
can't commit Can't come wit' the
shit I
want to say to vent Instead I'm steadily drowning am I
wasting it Sometimes I
wish I
could escape from this I
want to run away Because I
know there's got to be a
better place Sometimes I
really want to run away But the
more I
try the
more I
can't escape Because there ain't no where to run Instead I'm drunk, praying to the
Lord Saying here I
come Sitting on my bed with a
loaded gun Pointed at my head And then my girlfriend screams put the
gun away I
told her love just saved the
day Let's pack our stuff and run away From all this bullshit I
just missed another show cuz I
gotta work If I
try to request any more days off Then my boss gonna fire me He said he's tired of me trying him I
wanna tell him to go fuck himself But I
know ain't nobody hiring, besides I'm Twenty-nine, my future's on the
line And my girlfriend rely on me to try to iron these Problems we created down entirely A
year ago, this time, we was in a
bind, in a
dire need To find a
place to live, we was about to lose the
crib Had to get a
job, that's exactly what I
did All for me is set and now this rapper shit is dead Last Christmas, we ain't have the
cash to get a
gift For each other, man, I'm sick of the
struggle Doing drugs made it easy to accept that Then I
settle getting used to having nada My doctor said I
got a
bleeding ulcer in my tummy But still continue to shoot rot-gut liquor in my stomach, trying to numb it Can't afford Crown, so I'm sipping on McCormick's Trying to write a
rap, but I
can't think of a
chorus I
bet I
snort some meth and things will hit em in opposal And 'Wolf said, record exec's checking for us So you better step it up, they're scanning the
performance Snap back in the
music industry I'm missing at least sick of kissing ass I
question my endurance So I
pour another shot, trying to calm me some Alcohol really can't resolve it none Still pissed off, thinking everyone is dumb Because I
don't give a
fuck what team LeBron is on Whoever follows on Twitter the
comments on My Facebook wall telling y'all what all I'm doin I'm a
ray of sunshine, yeah, ball of fun But they can look up and I'll be gone I
want to run away Because I
know there's got to be a
better place Sometimes I
really want to run away But the
more I
try the
more I
can't escape Because there ain't no where to run Instead I'm drunk, praying to the
Lord Saying here I
come Sitting on my bed with a
loaded gun Pointed at my head And then my girlfriend screams put the
gun away I
told her love just saved the
day Let's pack our stuff and run away From all this bullshit
