This track addresses the daily struggle for money. Obongjayar expresses how constant and cut-throat the hunt for money can be, and how it’s a struggle “for my life”.
In the mighty name of the coin
I wake up every morning and I run
I run, run for my life
Everything is burning, look around you
You better run, run for your life
I wake up every morning and I run
I run, run for my life
Everything is burning, look around you
You better run, run for your life
Nine-to-five, five-to-nine
Two-four-seven, three-six-five
I wake up and I shame the devil
I wake up and I get this cash
I don't kick back, I never settle
There's no excuses for empty hands
This green is ruthless, it don't respect you
Your creed or colour; get what you can
If you don't run, you're in my way
If you don't run, I'll take your place
Everything is changing at lightning speed
And it's all for the taking, it's not for free
I wake up every morning and I run
I run, run for my life
Everything is burning, look around you
You better run, run for your life
I wake up every morning and I run
I run, run for my life
Everything is burning, look around you
You better run, run for your life
Twenty-first century paranoia
Iron walls, barbed wire
Passports, crossfires
Get yours right now
There's not enough to go around
Everything is possible
Dream on
Keep going even when the lights glow
Leaner and leaner
I wake up every morning and I run
I run, run for my life
Everything is burning, look around you
You better run, run for your life
I wake up every morning and I run
I run, run for my life
Everything is burning, look around you
You better run, run for your life
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme
Money turn man to monster
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme
I still run and I won't stop
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme
Money turn man to monster
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme
I still run and I won't stop
