Run

Lyrics

[VERSE 1] Chasing that bag, but the bag won’t stay, Ten-hour shift just to waste my day. New job, new grind, same old pain, I buy my time just to lose my days. Phone stays lit, but my soul stays dark, I fake that smile like it’s part of the job. They see the fit, they don’t see the scars, I look like gold, but I’m falling apart. [PRE-HOOK] Can’t slow down, gotta keep that pace, Too scared to lose, too tired to chase. Everybody says, “Bro, you’re doing great,” I’m barely holding my own damn weight. [HOOK] Run, run, run — still broke inside, Work, work, work — while my real life dies. Big fake smile, yeah, I’m doing fine, Whole damn world sees the highlight, not the fight. Chasing that bag like it’s gonna save me, If money means freedom, why’s it enslaving me? Got cash on my mind, got dust in my chest, I got everything — still I’m not enough yet. [VERSE 2] I say “maybe next year,” every damn year, Put my dreams on hold just to make ends clear. Everybody gets a piece of me, Ain’t nobody left when it comes to me. I’m online smiling, offline wrecked, One more shift, one more check. I keep buying shit I don’t even need, Just to feel like I’m finally something. Mirror says, “Bro, you made it this far,” But I don’t recognize who you are. I built this life with my foot on the gas, Now I’m scared to stop and look at the past. [BRIDGE] Maybe I don’t need another check, Maybe I need to get myself back. I’ve been selling every piece of me Just to buy what I already had. [FINAL HOOK] Run, run, run — still broke inside, Work, work, work — while my real life dies. Big fake smile, yeah, I’m doing fine, Whole damn world sees the highlight, not the fight. Chasing that bag like it’s gonna save me, If money means freedom, why’s it enslaving me? Got cash on my mind, got dust in my chest, I got everything — still I’m not enough yet. Run, run, run… I’m rich in stress, broke in peace. Run, run, run… I lost myself trying to be me.
