The Run Around

"I'd like to introduce myself" - Biz Markie 'One MC, One DJ'

[Verse One]
I'm wasting time writing poignant rhymes
I got a better chance getting paid with an unemployment line
I'm hot and unsigned, my blood boils
Been shot down so many times, I'm surprised I ain't struck oil
Empty promises, pitiful label politics
I've suffered ages man, save a vote of confidence
I've been polished, go ahead and put the wax on
I'm gonna shine man, I'm not gon' be passed on
Y'all rapping cats need to sit and listen
Ripping me is like a Siamese twins making a split decision
My inner vision is 20/20 with no blind spot
And flow y'all set a watch to, like the theme of 60 Minutes
I'm getting into this to raise the stakes
But I'm the type to tip the table if I hate the way the game is played
Cause I can walk away with nothing and laugh
Before y'all get the satisfaction of fucking with Raks

[Hook] {x2}
It's the run around
I get the run around
Y'all can keep your contract, I don't want it now
Yeah, these labels man, they giving me the run around
It's the run around
I get the run around

[Verse Two]
So I'm reserved
And introverted at best
Cause I'm trying not to relate like a paternity test
And when I'm bustin' it's nothing short of divinity
Yeah I flirt with success but yet to take her virginity
To put it simply, I'm working hard
I've been planting seed for years and I still ain't seen a harvest
A starving artist that's an arduous task
But yo I bite the hand that feeds and break it's arm right in half
I'll rip you off of the dome for dissing me
Plus release a written track to add insult to injury
Up in this industry to win you gotta break bread
And I make enemies a lot quicker than I make friends
You want a favor? I'd rather die
I wouldn't pull no strings for you if we did a tandem skydive
Cause I can walk away with nothing and laugh
Before y'all get the satisfaction of fucking with Raks

[Hook]

{x2}
I keep running, running, I keep running {x4}
It's the run around, yeah, the run around
