[Intro: Inas]
I've been running from myself
Tell me are you running too?
I've been running from myself
You don't know what I've been through
I've been running from myself
Tell me are you running too?
I've been running from myself
You don't know what I've been through (x3)
I've been running from myself
You don't know what I've been through
[Chorus: James Lanning & Inas]
I didn't come one thousand miles
To runaway or wait here
I've been, under fire so long
I'm amazed I made it
I didn't come one thousand miles
To runaway or wait here
I've been, under fire so long
I'm amazed I made it
[Verse 1: James Lanning]
I keep on running
But I don't know where I'm heading man
I think I'll forget it all
Yea I don't know where my heads been man
I think I let it dissolve
Here we are again just you and I
Why lie you're surprised you survived to find
Yourself right here right now
Right here right now
And every now and then I do realize
That it might be inside my head but I deny
That my minds clear right now
I'm right here right now
[Chorus: James Lanning & Inas]
I didn't come one thousand miles
To runaway or wait here
I've been, under fire so long
I'm amazed I made it
I didn't come one thousand miles
To runaway or wait here
I've been, under fire so long
I'm amazed I made it
[Verse 2: James Lanning]
Dead into the middle of the night trying to get it right
Think I'm living life wrong, in a fight
With a python it'll grip tight to my right arm
Right ‘til my life's gone, where have I gone?
f** an icon, f** it I con
I sit tight while the hypes strong
Man I tried to forget it and get the mic on
My mind lit and ignited it like a pipe bomb
Do I fight with a knife or a Nikon?
I can't really decide I'm forever divided
Trying to rekindle the vibe I be feeling while climbing
You'll be living to die while you're digging for diamonds
It's a different environment I ain't used to
They be itching to drive by to shoot you
And they go for prime time, I hold to a fine line
And hope my mind's eye can move you
[Chorus: James Lanning & Inas]
I didn't come one thousand miles
To runaway or wait here
I've been, under fire so long
I'm amazed I made it
I didn't come one thousand miles
To runaway or wait here
I've been, under fire so long
I'm amazed I made it
[Verse 3: James Lanning]
Never back where I left off
I press on getting hit in the chest, now take your vest off
They said to give it a rest they said all bets off
I never listen I'm deaf I didn't get cross
Yea no one had a prayer for me please believe it
Knowing damn well I don't even need it
Man I breathe in deeply while I look at the city and everybody
A couple of hundred feet beneath me
It's a means of treatment and I bleed the sh**
Trying to leave a bleak place that I frequented
I was set to jump in, had my feet in it
If nothing had intervened you'd be reading this
And I remember a time back when I said I'ma rhyme
When everybody said to come as you are like Nevermind
But man nevermind it, I'm forever reminded
When you turned your back you had a strap behind it
