J Dilla - Runnin' (Feat. Stefan Barone & Denzel Clarke) lyrics

[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 V
