[Intro: JK-47]
H-H-H-Hazy
Yeah
Yeah, check, uh
[Verse 1: JK-47]
All I wanna be is free as the wind when it blows
Out from these demons, prayin’ that they leave me alone
I need my peace, man, this life that I live like a road
It’s hard as sea mens, and in the night it gets cold
Not enough linen, then come wintertime
And not enough food up in the cupboard when it’s dinner time
But know a couple friends of mine goin’ through the same shit
Who hustle hard, don’t give a fuck ‘bout who you came with
We speak the same language, they all understand me
This ain’t on some gang shit, all my people family
If I stood against your biggest dude
They’d come and stand with me
So they’ll be with me when I put a hundred grand in the bank
But we had enough of this
Lame day job, pay sucker shit
We want them riches, if you disagree, then listen clear
We made our wishes when we started this, a couple kids
And now I bet you know just who you fuckin’ with, but still I been
[Chorus: JK-47 & Jennifer Williams, JK-47]
On the run, yeah, I’m on the run
Bud in my lung just to keep me numb
Been in the slump for so many months
Pickin’ up drugs from another plug
And if coppers come
I’m on the run, yeah, I’m on the run
I’m on the edge and I’m finna jump
We want a lot, but a lot ain’t much
When everything we’ve got to give is just not enough
[Verse 2: JK-47]
So we on the run until we reachin’ our peak
Stayin’ up all night listenin’ to beats
And leave that sleep for the weak
Can’t show no feelings, so I keep it discrete
But I been out here pitchin' in my piece just so the family can eat
Understandin’ me, G? We don’t listen when them amateurs speak
My people been cursed since Adam and Eve
But here I be: rappin’, tryna get to the Gs
‘Cause cash rules every single living thing that breathes
But there’s blood on the leaves and on the bark of my tree
Time heals, still I wonder: will I ever be free?
I pray that my lost ones livin’ up in heaven have peace
Though I wish they were together with me
Guess I’ll just let it be if God says that’s what it is
But why they have to leave before the cash and the cribs?
‘Cause all I ever wanted was to share my dream with you
Then when you died, I felt like packin’ up and leavin’ with you
Now I got issues
[Chorus: JK-47 & Jennifer Williams, JK-47]
On the run, yeah, I’m on the run
Bud in my lung just to keep me numb
Been in the slump for so many months
Pickin’ up drugs from another plug
And if coppers come
I’m on the run, yeah, I’m on the run
I’m on the edge and I’m finna jump
We want a lot, but a lot ain’t much
When everything we’ve got to give is just not enough
On the run, yeah, I’m on the run
Bud in my lung just to keep me numb
Been in the slump for so many months
Pickin’ up drugs from another plug
And if coppers come
I’m on the run, yeah, I’m on the run
I’m on the edge and I’m finna jump
We want a lot, but a lot ain’t much
When everything we’ve got to give is just not enough
