Runnin' Away Lyrics

First things first I need to get something off my chest

With neglect and stress got me feeling like a pest

With feelings I repressed I feel like I'm second-best

And being home had me feeling I was on house arrest

Any chance I had I'd leave the crib to decompress

I'd walk over to my homies to try to fit in like the rest

We'd walk up to the store with intentions to finesse

Then stuff our pockets full of shit without a second guess

I was cold with it but i knew it wouldn't lead to success

For the moment I didn't care was just trying to impress

Any reckless stuff I was down for if you ask I'd say yes

I had to switch on a select few that I first met at recess

And before I go any further I do have some shit id like to confess

I was acting out for attention like my call of distress

But there is one more issue that I'd like to personally address

If your shit ain't together don't drag a kid in your mess

Hey

Why you runnin' away?

Why you runnin' away?

Why you runnin' away?

Hey

Why you runnin' away?

Why you runnin' away?

Why you runnin' away?

Yeah

An outsider looking in may see me as a complainer

But it ain't how it seems I'm just a musical painter

If you ask 'bout my team oh you know it's a no brainer

I hope and aspire to be one of their favorite entertainers

I may be perceived as a G who needs some therapy

I'm stone cold without the steve 'n looks to me like some irony

I may be a loner 'cause I quickly acquired some maturity

And I may be a stoner just fixing up my fucked up psychology

No apologies nor sympathy for anyone I had to leave hanging

You ain't benefiting me or my life of luxury 'n sorry I ain't changing

My own blood did me hella petty but my aces will get to banging

We handle our ones nah we don't run but the gang will get to ganging

Some of 'em be slanging shit but had my back in my downfall

They would answer all my calls when life was in a free-for-all

When I was runnin' away my dawgs gave me a place to stay

And when I was runnin' out of faith they took me in like a stray aye

Hey

Why you runnin' away?

Why you runnin' away?

Why you runnin' away?

Hey

Why you runnin' away?

Why you runnin' away?

Why you runnin' away?
