[Sample]
I-I-I I've Been
I-I-I I've Been
I-I-I I've Been
I've Been Runnin'
[Verse 1]
I got high in the basement
Finding my replacement
Days went by
All that mattered was “evasment.”
Ain't sh**
You can say to change my-
Mind, I got time
You get your's, I'll get mine
I had lines waiting on me
On chicks who didn't know me
Had to give that sh** up
Because that sniff would make my nose bleed
Oh jheez!
Gotta n***a saying, “Oh Please”
Would it speak a thousand words
If the picture don't freeze
How could I -
Fear a n***a if we both bleed
Same color blood
“???” boy, let's just smoke some sticky bud
There ain't no use in fisticuffs
‘Cause one of us gon' get f**ed up
I swear
And I'll do anything if double dared
If it's a physical, Challenge
And this is double dare
Ask your friends if you're in trouble-
I'll pull up, they be like “Yeahhh”
I'm a bad motherf**er
Who's that motherf**er?
Here's a another great track-
Take that motherf**er!
[Hook]
“I've been runnin'
I've been runnin'
Yeahhh
(Affirmative..)
[Verse 2]
I ain't never held a job down
For more than three months
Guess its my fault
‘cause I smoke too many blunts
Never had a problem
Fitting in
‘Cause I been cool as sh**
Since I was a little kid
Around the age of ten
Is when - all my unlces tried to school me
Taught me how to fight
In case these n***as try to bully me
‘Cause I ain't never felt fists
That didn't hurt
Self defense is for b**hes
You should hit that n***a first
You should hit that n***a once
You should hit that n***a last
You should f** him up at lunch
Kick his a** and get to cla**
And if you pa**, then that's cool
If not - Oh well
If your parents got a problem say:
“f** you go to hell!”
f** it - Ya'll know me well
From being lonely as hell
And if you never noticed that
Then only homies can tell
If they never noticed that
Then they didn't know me that well
Look beyond the surface
f** it, I ain't perfect - but it sells
I've been runnin'
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
So when they ask me
If I'm on something
I be like
“Nah, nothing.”
What made you think that?
It couldn't have been this Pink ???
Could it?
I guess it could
My vision isn't good
But I wish a n***a would-
Take a swing!
Now watch the space n***a
Do his thing
I can handle anything
I ain't scared of anything
Grab an alligator by the jugular
And make him sing
Go home and catch a bo*er
f** your moms and be like “Schwing!”
Ladies holla' at me
Lately you can page me
Code 69's
Both fine and amazing
Rhyming hasn't paid me
More than you make daily
So quit trying to play me
Tell me that I'm changing
You think I'm working this hard
To do the same thing?
I was a year ago
Ya'll ain't thinking clearly so-
I'm like “Hell no!”
But I don't think ya'll hear me though
So I figured out the answer
Like to hear it? Hear it go:
I've been runnin!
[Hook]
