Running In Place lyrics

[Intro]
I know how you feel, lil' n*gga
Keep at it though, just keep goin'
Ayy, shout out Blurry, n*gga, ayy, free my n*gga
(Palaze, what you cookin'?)
Be straight, ayy, free Mustard

[Verse 1]
We still in the struggle, so I'm tryna make a way
You ever felt stuck and kind of lost your faith?
You ever woke up and felt like runnin' away?
My people say they straight but I see their pain
Grew up to my mama, always workin' like a slave
Grew up with no dad, but I'm a man, no b*tch ways (Nah)
I dropped out, I ain't get to graduate (Yeah)
I dropped out, look, now I'm on stage (Ayy, ayy)

[Chorus]
Look, mama, everybody know my name, like the n*gga I became (Yeah, ayy, ayy)
I don't want the love that I ain't get before the famе, that I ain't get when I was arraigned (Nah, for rеal)
It's like you suffer, lose a lot but you gain (But you gain)
I'm happily married with the game (Ah)
When I ain't have it, it was lookin' at your plate
You want it right now, but now it's too late

[Verse 2]
I don't think your love was for me
You say you love me, you ain't show me
f*ck it, 'cause I know how to ride by my lonely (Yeah)
I used to care, but, prrt, that's the old me (Yeah)
Late at night, I be prayin' for the whole team (For the whole team)
Shorty wanna f*ck me on the lowkey (On the lowkey)
Yeah, she a thot, but she won't f*ck if you got no cheese (Ha)
She for you, she for me, she for the homies
sh*t lowkey f*cked up where I'm from
Lil' homie just got robbed (Ah), so now he wanna get a gun (Ayy, ayy)
Everybody geeked, all this sh*t like this sh*t fun (n*gga)
In your city, that sh*t rare, in my city, that sh*t none
Free my n*gga Polo, say he barely see the sun
Free my n*gga Mustard, said he wanna see his son (Free my n*gga)
Don't get caught up in the mix, n*gga, run
Don't be playin' with your life, with your love
All them broke nights I remember
Dropped out for my teacher in that lecture (Facts)
You don't wanna meet me in my temper (Nah, n*gga)
Keep it on me, block be hot in December (Blaow, n*gga)
A n*gga like me, I want respect (I want respect)
Keep it on my waist just in case sh*t go left
Tell me that you love me right now, not when I'm dead (Not when I'm dead)
Tell me that you love me right now, not when I'm dead
[Chorus]
Look, mama, everybody know my name, like the n*gga I became (Yeah, ayy, ayy)
I don't want the love that I ain't get before the fame, that I ain't get when I was arraigned (Nah, for real)
It's like you suffer, lose a lot but you gain (But you gain)
I'm happily married with the game (Ah)
When I ain't have it, it was lookin' at your plate
You want it right now, but now it's too late

[Outro]
Now it's too late, it's like play with the same
Ayy, sh*t, I know I ain't personal, I be sh*ttin'
Like the n*gga I became, everybody know my name
Ayy, it's too late, yeah, don't play with your life
