[Intro/Chorus]
This is a cry for joy
This this is a cry for joy
[Verse 1]
Born to run let's do it
Marathon is us
Identity fluid
Black fists and cuffs
We are outlaws on a come up
Bless that killuminati club
Where they make it rain Gold Dinar
Same shit they killed Gaddafi for
Don't get tired, yes I'm sure
That's because you did endure
And every breath is like earth is petrified
Day is what we live for
Had to see to get grown
Missed Alachua and went home
Yea we ran, had to flex
Now I'm dancing at my best
With the wind behind my back
The ground beneath my feet
Fly or die, flap them wings
Hit the ground and they will eat
Got with wind behind my back
The ground beneath my feet
Fly or die, flap them wings
Hit the ground and they will eat
[Chorus]
This is a cry for joy, this this is a cry for joy
Survival, sur sur survival
Survival, sur sur survival
Survival, sur sur survival
This is a cry for joy, this this is a cry for joy. (Okay!)
This is a cry for joy, this this is a cry for joy. (Okay!)
[Bridge]
Jukebox rock'n roll bubblegum trap kids
John Wayne bullshit
God bless America (Okay!)
Jukebox rock'n roll bubblegum trap kids
John Wayne bullshit
God bless America
[Verse 2]
We can ride the beat jam pony (own it)
Kill the pocket man down it (murder)
Yea that boy be sliding on some 80s baby Mantronix
All gotta face the fact that we're mortal
I just hope I walk through that portal
Where my heroes are waiting for me
And I think they offered me honey
I'm the best and y'all know it
Ego made me flow it
Borderline river Nile
Son of Africa, lucky child look!
I just wanna be awesome
Fuck everything after
In this here race to famous
Watch me, watch me turtle pass ya
That means I live longer
Because I am a late bloomer
........rumor
Actually that's a fact
I was a jit but I recall that day
He told I would be
Was up in the mountains dad and me
Talking to an old s.a.g.e
Hey it all comes back around
I'm trying to find soul in the machine
I wanna be honest and come clean
I'm trying to find soul in the machine
Marathon was written by Akin Yai.
Inspired by an old dread head that literally runs everywhere in Gainesville, FL. You see him all over town running and his persistency is inspiring.
