[English]

I don't know where I'm going

One thing I know

I'm not coming back no more

So I just keep on running

I'll keep running

Until I can't no more

Until I can't no more

Travel with the speed of sound

In something like a 747, it's like I'm on my way to heaven

Eyes to the ground

The wind pushing on my face through the clouds looking down

But then my clock starts ringing, it was all dream

Shit I don't know what it means

The streets is cold and Karma's a real bitch yo

I'm doing circles like I'm living in a fish bowl

They say a shark drowns if it don't swim

But it's like I'm on my way down and I can't win

But I can't lose, I refuse

Back on this grind, not enough time

Spent on my knees, rose-bead crosses

Trust me I know everything about losses

Gone with the wind when the sky turns black

Keep running, I ain't coming back

I don't know where I'm going

One thing I know

I'm not coming back no more

So I just keep on running

I'll keep running

Until I can't no more

Until I can't no more

It's only one life to live up, probably the only reason I don't give up

Got me putting my bid up, to get up

The snakes I hear them slither

I ran a hundred miles but I'm a man I never quiver

Stand for whatever differ

Me I'm talking to liquor, hoping it take the pain away

My chain away, my brain away

Fly like a plane away

Yeah I gotta hold aces

Stay away from those with two to four faces

After the rain the sun shines, I'll get them at crunch time

I'm never letting go when it's once mine

It's so much more than a punch line it's really real

Try to make it out with my people you know, really build

Because my 9-to-5 ain't cutting it

Praying to the genie in the bottle, drowning my sorrows and loving it

My pride I'm never tucking it, getting chased by the government

Born in the sky and I'm headed back to the mother ship

I don't know where I'm going

One thing I know

I'm not coming back no more

So I just keep on running

I'll keep running

Until I can't no more

Until I can't no more
