Marathon (Ft. Ladonna Harley-Peters)

Yo yo yo

[Chorus]
Sometimes when I wake up
I don't wish to carry on
Running laps in your marathon
Dodging traps set by Babylon
Sometimes when I wake up
I don't wish to carry on
Running laps in your marathon
Running laps

[Verse 1]
I bang the drum for many who just rub pennies together
Whoever killed Kenny is a fiend for South Park
But not little Kemy[?] in my ends with no friends
We want more and [?]
We're used to little and the bones are brittle
Cowboys and Indians with chicken shops in the middle
Poor diet, poor health, better check yourself
Get yourself a wake up call and don't [?]
The tracks of my tears can paint your front hall
Take a look around, don't stop you might stall
Carpe diem, grab 'em if you see 'em
Every rhyme written should be in a museum
That's my point of view [?]
Like a human being on a road less traveled
Like a slave shackled in a system called [?]
Can't afford to battle, rather watch the doves cry
Got your shins for the tackle now

[Chorus]
Sometimes when I wake up
I don't wish to carry on
Running laps in your marathon
Dodging traps set by Babylon
Sometimes when I wake up
I don't wish to carry on
Running laps in your marathon
Running laps

[Verse 2]
The mis-education is key
Not just me but many who still claim to be free
Quick to dismiss the blame when you look at the past
But the future benefits you more than me so don't laugh
When you smile with me publicly I'm wearing a mask
Gritting my teeth, a wolf in a bundle of sheep
Keep the anger in check, make a banger instead
Much more Imhotep than your regular set
You're like Jesus, I'm [?]
Keep biting my chorus
I wonder where we'd be if you knew what came before us
Mismatched quotes and dodgy folks
I'm supposed to be suspicious if it's murder she wrote
Murder some folks for pennies, power, purpose or popes
Fingers 'round necks and throats just to snatch up some votes
Catch up with folks
Electrify with thousands of volts
But there's blood on your sleeve and plenty blood on your coat
You see now

[Chorus]
Sometimes when I wake up
I don't wish to carry on
Running laps in your marathon
Dodging traps set by Babylon
Sometimes when I wake up
I don't wish to carry on
Running laps in your marathon
Running laps

[Verse 3]
I'm on that, very laid-back
Did he really say that? ([?])
Will they play that, EP[?] and be paid back (rush[?])
Going way back intending to stay black[?] (shush)
Shuck and jibe and this homie don't play that (yush)
Brick wall, penetration, meditation dedicated to those less motivated than me to run free
Slipping in quicksand
Or feeling comfy
Supported like kickstands
Or feeling unfree
Depressed and turning mad
Informing countries where your speech is foreign
Come and see the debrief from the war that's waged
Right in front of your face
Like a hand grenade, no no
You're just being miserable
Pressure is invisible
Nobody accounts for the damaged individual
Attacked by a spiritual, physical and very typical means
It's not a game or a daydream

[Chorus]
Sometimes when I wake up
I don't wish to carry on
Running laps in your marathon
Dodging traps set by Babylon
Sometimes when I wake up
I don't wish to carry on
Running laps in your marathon
Running laps

Sometimes when I wake up
I don't wish to carry on
Running laps in your marathon
Dodging traps set by Babylon
Sometimes when I wake up
I don't wish to carry on
Running laps in your marathon
Running laps
