Verse 1
Quick, fast, I'm speeding like a ticket, yep/ I'm in a rush, I'm fleeing from the wicked, yep/ Eat dust, can't get close to my tail/ Cause if sin does catch me I could roast up in hell/ Watch me go, I'm running like Joseph/ Snatched his clothes off, still couldn't hold him/ I ain't playin, I take off like I'm flying/ And I ain't gon' stop runnin till' I'm at the finish line/ Got a prize off the heezy that's waiting there to meet me/ And It's smashing any commercial you seen on TV/ People in the world ask me, look ILL Pheezy/ Is that race worth running, yep, ten times easy/ Can't wait to see the day that Jesus Christ greet me/ Talk about joy, man you know how he gon' treat me/ All I got to do is follow what he teach me/ So I sprint like a track star, sin will never beat me
Hook:
I'm running, running, running, running, I'm running,/ Running for my life/ I'm running/ Running from the dark to the light/ I'm running/ Running from the wrong to be right/ I run with all my might cause I wonna please Christ/ I'm running, running, running, running, I'm running/ Running for the cause/ I slip up I could fall and I can't dissapoint the Lord/ So I'm running
Verse 2
Hold up, what's that, zoom/ Sin popped up and I was gone out the room/ Let your guard down you'll get swept like a broom/ Step back, take a minute, think about it, hum/ If Jesus came back is this where I want be/ I represent the Kingdom, is this what he want see/ Can't blame them cause my devotion on me/ Best follow 2nd Tim, chapter 2 and flee/ Your like is a highlight watched from the twilight/ Can't hide your sin so it's best that you fly right/ When your life end don't you know that you could fry, shype/ So you best obey the Lord and get your mind right/ Can't follow crowds, my first thought to rebel/ Got to stand out, my purpose is not to gel/ If I don't belong the first exit I bail/ When they ask why let me tell you what I yell
Hook
Verse 3
Running, gunning, sprinting, hauling/ Getting out of dodge or what ever you want to call it/ Now I'm set free, I see what I need to see/ I got the foresight to flee when I need to flee/ You could call me names, say I ain't hip to the game/ Tell me that I'm lame and try to get in my brain/ But when it's all over the fact gon' still remain/ I broke like wood and went against the grain/ Tell me how I'm different if I condone the wicked/ Tell me how I'm fishing if I sit back and kick it/ No I aint' tripping, but pay attention and listen/ I see what I shouldn't see don't look for me I'm missing/ Ever seen a race when the gun sound and they break/ Ever had a fast car burn off in your face/ Homey I'm gone, I can't afford to wait/ Who jogging to keep pace, my heart pounding like bass
