I remember the days on the back streets Playing hide and seek in the evening heat Discussing our dreams and aspirations Living with the anger and frustration Escaping the ghetto was our only goal And for that Richard you sold your soul Living on the edge and on the run You even got to own yourself a gun But no matter how far you may try to run boy CHORUS You cant run nor hide You cant run nor hide You cant run nor hide You cant run nor hide, from your shadow son You survive the d**, the deals, and the pain Your conscience is clear it bears no stains The mask you wear it oh so well Not even your closes friends can tell The spark was lit and now the fire rage Playing your role upon the biggest stage Go ahead enjoy it while it last Cause I know the secrets of your past And no matter how far you may try to run boy CHORUS
