Thousand Miles and Runnin

(VERSE1)

GOD BLESS THE CHILD THAT CAN HOLD HIS OWN
WHO KNEW POWERS WHERE POSSESSED IN THE MICROPHONE FREESTYLE SESSIONS QUOTING SCRIPTURES FROM THE BIBLE GROWING UP DRUG DEALERS AND PIMPS WERE OUR IDOLS
POLICE OUR RIVAL, CLASS WAS A DOWN CAST
WORE BAGGY JEANS RECITING OUTKAST
SCHOOL WAS ABOUT FASHION MORE THAN HIGHER LEARNING FELT TEACHERS WAS BORING US WITH 8 HOUR SERMONS HIT SNATCH AND GRABS AT THE STORES JUST FOR THRILLS TEENAGE YEARS BECAME MORE SHOCKING THAN AN EEL SAME NIGGAZ WE GREW UP WITH WE GREW APART DIDN'T REALIZE WE ALL CHASING FALLING STARS REMEMBER LIGHT SKIN RICHARD FOUND HIM DEAD AT THE TRACKS
FOUND HIM WITH HIS POCKETS EMPTY AND EMPTY CAPS NEWS BROKE SOME GRIEVED SOME SEEN IT COMING WHEN YOU LIVING FAST YOU EITHER STOP OR KEEP RUNNIN

(HOOK)

THOUNSAND MILES AND RUNNIN.....RUNNIN.....RUNNIN...NIGAA WHATYOU RUNING FROM THOUSAND MILES AND RUNNIN....RUNNIN...RUNNIN NIGGA WHO YOU RUNNIN FROM

(VERSE2)

WILL HEAVEN OPEN ITS DOORS OR AM I CONFINE TO HELL MANY NIGGAZ I KNOW ARE GOING TO DIE IN JAIL
NO ONE ASK FOR PAIN MISERY IT WAS WRITTEN
THAT ALONE SHOULD GRANT US ADMISSION
A BROKEN HOME PRODUCES A BROKEN SOUL
HAPPINESS SEEMS TO BE OUT OF OUR CONTROL
ITS LIKE, WE DESIGN TO ACCEPT LESS
WHILE OTHERS THRIVE WE CONTENT AN BLESS
A SOFT HEART IS A SIGN OF WEAKNESS
YOU FEEL SOMEWAY PRAY TO ALLAH OR JESUS
EMOTIONS GET THE BEST OF YOU DISASTROUS RECIPE
NOW YOU LEFT CRYING OUT FOR HELP TELEPATHY
MIME TO MY FEELING IGNORING SADDEN THOUGHTS
GET IT HOW YOU LIVE IT IS WHAT WE WAS THOUGHT
SOME SORT OF MYSTERY WHICH WISH IT WAS SIMPLE
LIKE THE BODY THE MIND ALSO A TEMPLE
NO ONE PLANS TO FAIL ONLY FAIL TO PLAN
HARD TO SEE A FUTURE WHEN YOUR PRESENT DAY IS BLAND TO QUESTION GREATER MEANS SEEM TABOOS
THIS SHIT IS NUT I AIN'T TALKING CASHEWS

(HOOK)

THOUNSAND MILES AND RUNNIN.....RUNNIN.....RUNNIN...NIGAA WHAT YOU RUNING FROM THOUSAND MILES AND RUNNIN....RUNNIN...RUNNIN NIGGA WHO YOU RUNNIN FROM

THOUNSAND MILES AND RUNNIN.....RUNNIN.....RUNNIN...NIGAA WHAT YOU RUNING FROM (2X)
