Irv Da Phenom - Running lyrics

[Verse 1: SwizZz] Yeah, yo I'll always be a crush to my homies that need me, B I'll always spill my heart on the beats that you feed me This job ain't easy but I learned how to cope Searchin' within for answers, blowin' out the pain when I smoke Hear I go, every rapper a testament to my path I put in work for years, hours spent perfecting my craft Pulling all-nighters in the basement, reppin' that [?] with [?] Battle rapping at high school parties, ciphering after cla** Annoying my dad, banging beats on FL Studio studio Computer speakers blasting while he tryna watch his favorite show I cannot contain it though, bouncin' while clickin' notes That laid the foundation now this music sh** is all I know I got too many ways to switch the flow up You're working harder I'm working smarter, little homie hold up Had to battle a couple demons, I was forced to slow up But I'm only returnin' stronger, we can never fold up Say wa**up [Hook] Sometimes you gotta think before you talk again Sometimes you gotta crawl before you walk again And I've come too far to ever call it quits Swore that if I fall again I'm gon' Hit the ground running, running, yeah Hit the ground running, running, yeah Hit the ground running, running, yeah Hit the ground running, running, yeah [Verse 2: SwizZz] Look No graduation, no compiling letters of record, no dissertation Undecidedness got us skipping cla** and gettin' wasted Waitin' last minute to finish papers, procrastination Went to seven confirmation Roamin' the campus with my books and my bags Without a major loss, feelin' I needed a mic in my hands My mom was undergoing surgery, I just couldn't stand So I connected Hop and Dame and I devised a new plan I begged B to keep sendin' me beats I'm committed, chasin' a vision only I can see Convinced Dame in Vegas that this was the right path for me Or the right path for us 'cause me and Hopsin we had something that couldn't be touched I started recording, we started preforming Sellin' tickets to shows, prayin' that my homies support us and help us out Started with only friends in the crowd to city tours, meet and greets, and fans screamin' out loud It's like [Hook] Sometimes you gotta think before you talk again Sometimes you gotta crawl before you walk again And I've come too far to ever call it quits Swore that if I fall again I'm gon' Hit the ground running, running, yeah Hit the ground running, running, yeah Hit the ground running, running, yeah Hit the ground running, running, yeah [Verse 3: Irv Da PHENOM!] Hopin' up outta that Malibu ready to get it in again Been drivin' a thousand miles and now my destination is here That's LA mane, that's where I plan to stay We lettin' the drama from back home follow me out here Gotta maintain ain't no friends or family out here Just my ex from the city She said she sick and tired of that small town I let her tag along with me, really I was cool with just crashin' on Dame's couch He took initiative to hit LA and get us a house Now, here I go, back livin' with my ex again Swore that although we broke up we still remain the best of friends Started havin' s** again, here go the jealous texts again I'm in the lab workin' late while she stressin' me and s**in' them jealousy [?] This sh** got through You couldn't get me, but to get me back wouldn't believe how low you would stoop While I was California dreamin' I ain't never think that I was movin' out there with a demon [Hook] Sometimes you gotta think before you talk again Sometimes you gotta crawl before you walk again And I've come too far to ever call it quits Swore that if I fall again I'm gon' Hit the ground running, running, yeah Hit the ground running, running, yeah Hit the ground running, running, yeah Hit the ground running, running, yeah
