Off of Raz’s debut solo EP, Solomon Samuel Simone, Good Run is Raz addressing a girl with whom he must part ways. They loved each other and he encourages her to applaud their relationship, but they must seperate because she left him when things went south and he needed her.
[Chorus: Raz Simone]
Now we both know
It’s time to move on
We hurt one another
When our love is so strong
In the end
Life wins over love
So let’s clap for ourselves
Because we've had a good run
[Verse 1: Raz Simone]
Now what’s love compared to the stress
If i’m with the right one shouldn't I be at my best?
She left
And that was the last test
I said it the last time, but this is our last stretch
I can't run another lap with a partner that can't pass the baton
And a player can’t coach the coach on, am I wrong?
Well maybe sometimes
But what's a ride-or-die who won’t follow me through my crimes
What’s a ride-or-die who won’t put it all on the line
Baby girl you knew the contract before the paper was signed
Like you didn't know I work hard almost all of the time
It's funny to me the same things that make girls come, make them leave
No pun intended at all
I keep running into walls
Withdraw, then feel withdrawals
And it feels good to know that I'm human
But it hurts worse to know that you abuse it
[Chorus: Raz Simone]
Now we both know
It’s time to move on
We hurt one another
When our love is so strong
In the end
Life wins over love
So let’s clap for ourselves
Because we've had a good run
[Verse 2: Raz Simone]
You copped a ticket out of town at the same time I was bombarded by shoot outs
Hood shit and politics, money was looking small a bit
Shit got fishy quick and you were the halibut
Hallelujah I hollered bitch
We couldn't go to church enough to clean up all our sins
And even if we could we would get involved again
Fall again
What glory is found in being taller than the smallest men
I was blessed with the wisdom of King Solomon
Coincidentally cursed with the same follies and
Numbers of women who would follow him
It can be lonely even when so many call you friend
We built a tall temple upon a pile of sand
Things hardly ever seem to go quite as planned
Damn, damn… at least we ran..
[Chorus: Raz Simone]
Now we both know
It's time to move on
We hurt one another
When our love is so strong
In the end
Life wins over love
So let's clap for ourselves
Because we've had a good run
