Song - “Runnin”


Verse 1
Here we go, here we go, here we go again
This story is kinda long, so where do I begin?

First of all... i should mention that I’ve held it in
..and I concealed how I’m feelin, rejecting helpin hands..

See, I’ve been strugglin to forgive someone who’s cut me deep
Well, its multiple people who’ve done the same thing..

I thought it would FALL,, and I would find reLEAF
But I found a leaf of a tree thats rooted deep

See, over the course of my life, I’ve dated many women
..and these women cheated on me with different men, and

Well, those men were family members & close friends, and
I determined that it would never happen again, and

It did (it did) like a SONG on repeat, and
I started learning their WORDS.. familiar with their BEATin!

I put up barricades & borders, but somehow they beat it!
And now I’m left with internal bleedin.. it got me screamin..


Chorus
Ooh Oh! ...I never been here before!
But It’s lookin familiar.. I don’t wanna go down this road!

Ooh Oh! …This story’s already told!
But I won’t live it again! … Because I already know how the story ends


Verse 2
So all that hurt, it damaged me as a young teen
But when I became a man, I seen the same thing..

Same scheme, different lies, I just changed scenes
They had they piece of my PIE..and I was WIPPED cream

Had me feelin stupid… feeling regret
..and suspicious of every woman I’ve ever met

And close friends was always kept at an arm’s length
Never show them my weakness.. that’ll be my strength

All love lost. (none) All trust lost. (gone)
Anyone who did me wrong gettin cut off (bye)

Sa·yo·na·ra.. but I aint see’em later
I felt embarassed, so i did my best to stay away from..

..everybody; man it was so many poeple
Felt I was trapped in a movie.. they kept on makin sequels.

So i put on my sensors.. blocking everythang
and if I seen anythang reminding me of pain..
(I’m like)


Chorus
Ooh Oh! ...I never been here before!
But It’s lookin familiar.. I don’t wanna go down this road!

Ooh Oh! …This story’s already told!
But I won’t live it again! … Because I already know how the story ends



Verse 3
Here I am again, but I'm saved now
A new spirit within, I know I’m changed now

I done settled down.. and you would think I’d settle down
but if she joke around wit my friends, I’m like “settle down”

And to add to it.. Her “Best Friend for Life”..
..is my homie, my best friend, and brother in Christ

I be tryin to kick a smile, but I know within..
..I be running reels of ways it could possibly end..

I had my assumptions..but it was never that, in fact..
..she the only woman that's ever loved me back

And my homie, closest friend I've ever had
He know my good & bad.. And he still got my back

That's the truth about it.. Ain't no sugar coat..
No cliche, but this the realest I've ever wrote

That was difficult to share.. Hard for me to stomach
Words of my testimony, I hope I'm overcoming
