[Hook: Wavves]
Shoes for running, and I'll race ya
Sun is coming, it'll chase ya
Through this deadbeat town
Through this deadbeat town
The end is coming, I would race ya
But there's no running, it'll chase ya
Death will hunt you down
Death will hunt you down
[Verse 1: Big Boi]
What about the people that's barefoot
With no shoes for running when the sun come up?
Hey one percenters, the 99 say, "What you gonna do for us?"
We'll run up in your house like the first runner up, uh
Be the first one to buck and the last one to get laid down
Stay down, and now we're looking at the top of the pile
Or the king of the mountain gon' knock him off
Revolt, but y'all niggas here too soft
Bubblegum, just popping off
At the mouth like the nigga got all the hoes
Got all the dough and all the women
Boy, what you gon' do in the penitentiary?
Got a lot of money, can't take it with me, I can't take it with me
I wish they could send me
To the moon and back with a cure for cancer
And save the lives of my great grandmama
And my great grandaddy, now that's the answer
To the question, but they make money off the medicine
Leaving us all stuck in elections
With no progressions, just recessions
[Hook: Wavves]
Shoes for running, and I'll race ya
Sun is coming, it'll chase ya
Through this deadbeat town
Through this deadbeat town
The end is coming, I would race ya
But there's no running, it'll chase ya
Death will hunt you down
Death will hunt you down
[Verse 2: B.o.B]
Look, just as I expected, life gets deadly
It's funny how the beloved become the beheaded
The truth can be independent or the direction that you stretch it
So my niggas will draw when shit gets sketchy
That's a masterpiece, a work of art, a gallery, no photoshop
Pictures say a million words, so I just let my photos talk
Even in your local talk, niggas say, "You know he boss"
Everytime my name is brought up better know it's mogul talk
That's why she give me geek 'til her shins weak
I'm blazing everyday, you can call that demp week
You're running from your life that you didn't see
That's like playing hide and seek with the Grim Reaper
[Hook: Wavves]
Shoes for running, and I'll race ya
Sun is coming, it'll chase ya
Through this deadbeat town
Through this deadbeat town
The end is coming, I would race ya
But there's no running, it'll chase ya
Death will hunt you down
Death will hunt you down
[Verse 3: Big Boi]
You can run but you can't hide, spent your whole life
Trying to escape, when everybody stayed
Getting tired of living in a lie, different nights, same town
Say goodbyes, but we tried cause we know there's no getting out
And when the pawns are playing themselves
I just lay and wait and straighten myself
Let them war it out 'til they wear themselves out
Bring them back to life, give them mouth to mouth
[Hook: Children]
Shoes for running, and I'll race ya
Sun is coming, it'll chase ya
Through this deadbeat town
Through this deadbeat town
The end is coming, I would race ya
But there's no running, it'll chase ya
Death will hunt you down
Death will hunt you down
[Outro: B.o.B]
You can fight and try to get away
But there's nowhere to run and hide to
You better know that there will come a day
Eventually, it's gon' find you
You can fight and try to get away
But there's nowhere to run and hide to
You better know that there will come a day
Eventually, it's gon' find you
Eventually, it's gon' find you, find you
Uh, uh, uh, it's gon' find you
And it's gon', yeah, eventually, it's gon' find you
And it's gon' find yo' ass, it's gon' find you, yeah
