[Verse 1 : Stefan Barone)
I am
Superman but I was trapped in a planet
Running the hamster wheel when I should've been running the track and
I cracked an MCAT just being procrastinate
I went from research and data to tracks to datpiff
When I think back to the essence of my chicken scratch
I wonder why the match didn't strike or the light didn't click
Probably fighting to deny my right to this god given gift
Seeing peers, with wives, white picket fences and kids
But i've been, righting them wrongs
Since me and Jaybee signed those papers- writing them songs
No longer judge myself by societal norms
Popped when we came in like a wrecking ball
But i want RapRadar dissecting my bars
You gon' throw some respect on my art
Different definitions to happiness Go get it
Might take a little longer but we got the golden ticket
Imma be the best me there ever was
Run with it, stop running from what you're capable of
Now run
[Hook 1 : Denzel Clarke]
I've been running and searching
All my life
Trying to figure out what to sacrifice
I need your protection
Deep dreams and reflections
Keep me in perspective
Can't run
No, no, no, no, no more
[Verse 2 : VR]
I need success on my plate
I just want to get a taste
Cause lately I've been feeling
Like a complete waste of space, a stray
See this look up on my face is blank
As i search for some type of purpose
To add to my page, in my notes
I hope, I can truly make a change
If i don't, well godamn wouldn't that be a shame
See i'm going nowhere fast
I need to run slow
How long can i last
Man i really don't know
There's some love in my pocket
That's hard for me to show
Deep down it's getting deeper
No telling how low it goes
All that depression pays a toll
I know, I got to let it go
Can't go back to the bathroom floor
Just to see what i've become
Was just a boy that only knew how to run
Insecure, unsure
Of what I wanted
Looking for where my heart went
Something close to abandoned
I was feeling unbalanced
Unaware that i'm a magnet
All it took was a practice, away from attachments
Find your way
Accept the fact
Can't always be a runaway
[Hook 2 : Denzel Clarke]
I've been running and searching
All my life
Trying to figure out what to sacrifice
I need your protection
Deep dreams and reflections
Keep me in perspective
Can't run
No, no, no, no, no more
[Outro : VR]
We're all unique in our own way
I believe all life is precious
As we, we searching for something
We searching for this feeling
Some kind of purpose
Something to believe in
Some kind of reason for why we're on this earth and
And I know sometimes it gets hard
It gets real hard, and you feel alone
Like nobody relates
Once you realize what's in front of you
In front of your face
You can search deep inside
That we're all here to create
It's that power
That we all, we all hold
It's a source you got to tap into
And instead of running from it
From all issues, from all problems
We should embrace it
There's a cycle that comes around
Back around, on and on and on and
And it don't stop, it will never stop
But each time it comes back around
It's only for us to have a deeper understanding
Of what it is
That we're supposed to figure out
Just got to focus, need to focus
Keep working
Start from somewhere
The hardest part is starting
And once you've started it
Put your heart in it
Then realize that you
It's all in it, Everything
Man just don't run from it
And, accept it
Accept yourself, love yourself
Know your wealth
Understand yourself
There's so much more to life
I know it don't seem that way
But trust me
I've been there, i've done that
I've dealt with depression
I ain't even want to be here anymore
But now that i'm still here
I know it's for a reason
Everything is for a reason
Trust me, trust me
There's a beauty in every ugly man
