Pryde - Runnin' lyrics

[Verse 1] Uh, it's a phase that you're going through That's what they always used to tell me when I go to school I perform for talent shows and get no crowd reaction I pa** my mixtape out and all the kids were laughing Called me wack because they thought I wasn't hot or crazy I guess it's cause I'm from a city where nobody made it They say: "Russell, check the color what your skin is" You ain't even black and trying too hard to fit in And I used to get bullied cause they thought I had a weak sound They saw me on the street, beat me up and knocked my teeth out Within my eyes I told myself gotta keep my job And keep running cause they hate to see you reach the top Just so you know instead of saying that you think you could The more you do bigger, the smaller all your haters look Now I'm in this big position and I'm running So remember that I told you one thing [Hook] First they tell you that they love you Then they say they hate you You gotta keep going they ain't never gonna race you Just keep running (yeah), running (yeah), running (yeah) Keep on running (yeah), running (yeah), running (yeah) They start talking smack, I ain't know about that Just reach to the top, then you bring it right back Just keep running (yeah), running (yeah), running (yeah) Keep on running (yeah), running (yeah), running (yeah) [Verse 2] Yeah, had my reputation flat no pancake A ball player running late and for his fast break I was a quiet Asian kid in every studio that no one ever tried to acknowledge or offered handshakes Forget them, I'mma climbing back And forget the small hate, I ain't got time for that This is for every rapper saying that my rhymes wack I pa**ed your expectations and defied your facts The bills get higher, my family's rest I'm working no matter how hard this rapping thing gets For rappers who are just hating on my tracks and think less I don't give a sh** you can never reach that And rappers who be saying that I changed don't know me I've been the same dude, there's no such thing as an old me So we the one to tell that you're nothing Just remember that I told you one thing [Hook] First they tell you that they love you Then they say they hate you You gotta keep going they ain't never gonna race you Just keep running (yeah), running (yeah), running (yeah) Keep on running (yeah), running (yeah), running (yeah) They start talking smack, I ain't know about that Just reach to the top, then you bring it right back Just keep running (yeah), running (yeah), running (yeah) Keep on running (yeah), running (yeah), running (yeah) First they tell you that they love you Then they say they hate you You gotta keep going they ain't never gonna race you Just keep running (yeah), running (yeah), running (yeah) Keep on running (yeah), running (yeah), running (yeah) They start talking smack, I ain't know about that Just reach to the top, then you bring it right back Just keep running (yeah), running (yeah), running (yeah) Keep on running (yeah), running (yeah), running (yeah, yeah)
