[Intro: Machine Gun Kelly, Planet VI & Both]
Where? Why? Mayday!
Runnin' I, runnin', I ain't runnin' away
(I told you! You are never going to be shit)
Runnin' I, runnin', I ain't runnin' away
(Just stop now, you're not gonna make it)
Runnin' I, runnin', I ain't runnin' away
(That's right, get your shit and run away again)
(Run muthafucker, run)
'Cause I'm so tired of running
[Verse: Machine Gun Kelly]
That I've worn my soles out
To the point that my toes is out, to the point that I can't look back
And even if I did I still couldn't see where I started out
Can't see home for miles, lost like another orphan child
I'm only grinning cause I'm supposed to smile
So I do it for the ones that are down and out
Proud one of those is gonna be a spokesman now
But I'm still running, running, and I don't know where
All I got to my name is one pair of laced up chucks, five bucks
And a chip on my shoulder that's so big, that I cannot bare
I done lost my friends, family, and home for this
And for that I have lost my mind, kept my faith, lost my direction
I'm just praying that I haven't lost my time
Go! (Go, go, go)
[Chorus: Planet VI]
I keep my head up with my feet on the ground
From the bottom so up is the only place that I'm goin'
Ready to face all that's in front of me now
'Cause I'm so tired of runnin'
I'm walking through the fire, cause there is no way around
Moving in the same direction wherever the wind is blowin'
Ready to face all that's in front of me now
'Cause I'm so tired of runnin'
[Refrain: Machine Gun Kelly & Planet VI]
Runnin' I, runnin', I ain't running away (Ahuh)
(When are you gonna stop running, huh?)
Runnin' I, runnin', I ain't running away (Ahuh)
(Face it, you're gonna end up just like your father did)
Runnin' I, runnin', I ain't running away (Ahuh)
(You don't know how to fill these shoes)
(The whole world wants to see you fail, and you're gonna let 'em)
'Cause I'm so tired of runnin'
[Bridge: Machine Gun Kelly]
And I'm so tired of strugglin', I'm so tired of hustlin'
I can feel my heart fill with hate, I'm so tired of lovin'
I was supposed to be great, I'm so tired of duckin'
Tired to coming home from a job being fired from nothin'
And shit I'm tired from the nights a muthafucker took that ride
To make that dream, come alive
To wake up in the morning to a nine to five
But I gotta do it if I wanna survive
Because in the city where I'm from it's either do or die
So choose it wise
Because you could lose it in the blink of an eye
But even in the darkest times, it's proven I— (I, I, I, I...)
[Chorus: Planet VI]
I keep my head up with my feet on the ground
From the bottom so up is the only place that I'm goin'
Ready to face all that's in front of me now
'Cause I'm so tired of runnin'
I'm walking through the fire, cause there is no way around
Moving in the same direction wherever the wind is blowin'
Ready to face all that's in front of me now
'Cause I'm so tired of runnin'
[Outro: Planet VI]
Runnin' I, runnin', I ain't running away (Ahuh)
Runnin' I, runnin', I ain't running away (Ahuh)
Runnin' I, runnin', I ain't running away (Ahuh)
'Cause I'm so tired of runnin'
