Top Speed Running

[Intro]
Menace, menace, menace, menace
Hmm...
Let us examine tonight
How can they hear
Without somebody telling them?

[Verse 1: Datin]
All I hear is fake news, fake news
Democracy is an illusion, presidents are puppets they choose
They prove to be unfaithful, they promise breakthrough
They bait you, then get your hopes up, but never make moves
While us broke people struggle just to make due
The rich get richer, they be grumbling with they plates full
They're not for the people, at the bottom's where they place you
It's always in they favor when our leaders legislate rules
Together we're a force, but that ain't the case, dude
Bring the politics, we get to acting like the apes do
Picking sides, left and right, arguing, debate, feuds
Fighting over people that don't love you, so disgraceful
Look how rap and the media portrays you
It's propaganda causing the divide that is racial
They make us look like animals, and though it ain't true
They got the cops scared of us, that's why they shoot (Brra!)
If you waiting on a president to save you
Don't hold your breath, you will suffocate, and turn bright blue
But I know somebody that can bring a change to
And make new all that has been broken, He is Jesús
That's why I'm tying up my show strings, bro
And I'm running towards the people on my Usain Bolt
To give 'em the Good News and tell 'em, "You can grow"
And see more W's than at a Wu-Tang show
I am running!

[Chorus: Datin]
They keep the truth from you so that you can't grow (Run!)
He chained you to the bottom so that you can't go (Run!)
But help is on the way, I'm on my Usain Bolt (Run!)
Beautiful are the feet that will go (Let's go)
Top speed, man, your boy running (Boy running)
Moving my three, man, your boy running (Boy running)
They'll never stop me, man, your boy running (Boy running)
Yeah, beautiful are the feet that are- (Run!)

[Post-Chorus: Jeremiah Bligen and Datin]
Running, running
Running, running
Won't erase what I know, I'm-
Running, running
Running, running (NFTRY)
Won't keep it on the low, I'm-

[Verse 2: Eshon Burgundy]
Yeah, somebody got to give the Gospel a rundown
Hope fiend hustler, preaching over the gun sound
Lowkey Tesla, keep the gas when I come around
Trigger need two pounds of pressure for the gun to sound, uh
Streets will love to put a pop star underground
Shotgun easier to tote when you cut it down
Look around for hope when you broke and it's not around
You around, you gon' see the coco, coco
Places I go, they say that he loco, loco
Bear the image of the living King like it's a photo
He coming to a city near you, I'm doing promo
Joseph in the rainbow coat, but this Polo
Kicking nothing but spiritual facts like it's a dojo
Wishing Christ did the miracle acts wearing a GoPro
Warring in this life of sin, it get dark
But it's really not quite so dim, I get a spark
In my spirit when I read, the part 'bout where He lead
And my depression get a lesson and I hope I never could concede
No more bottles being swallowed by the belly of the beast
Get off my knees and I go run and set the captives free, free, free

[Chorus: Datin]
They keep the truth from you so that you can't grow (Run!)
He chained you to the bottom so that you can't go (Run!)
But help is on the way, I'm on my Usain Bolt (Run!)
Beautiful are the feet that will go (Let's go)
Top speed, man, your boy running (Boy running)
Moving my three, man, your boy running (Boy running)
They'll never stop me, man, your boy running (Boy running)
Yeah, beautiful are the feet that are- (Run!)

[Post-Chorus: Jeremiah Bligen and Datin]
Running, running
Running, running
Won't erase what I know, I'm-
Running, running
Running, running (NFTRY)
Won't keep it on the low, I'm-

[Bridge: Jeremiah Bligen]
Life ain't been the same since you showed up
Glowed up
In a world so dark, yeah, you showed up
Showed up
We take our feet to the ground and we show love
Show love, even with scars all on 'em
Carry weights so enormous
Yet they stay so gorgeous

[Post-Chorus: Jeremiah Bligen and Datin]
Running, running
Running, running
Took a couple blows, I'm-
Running, running
Running, running
Won't erase what I know, I'm-
Running, running
Running, running
You have made me whole, I'm
Running, running
Running, running
Won't keep it on the low, I'm-

[Outro]
"Wait, wait, wait, wait, hold up, slow down"
"Why you in such a rush?"
"This is not a race, take your time"
"You'll get it done"
"There's always tomorrow"
"Hahahahahaha!"
