[00:00.00]Runnin' (Philippians Remix|Explicit) - The Pharcyde
[00:30.51]Can't keep runnin' away
[00:31.55]
[00:45.71]I must admit on some occasions I went out like a punk
[00:47.73]And a chump or a sucka or something to that effect
[00:50.30]Respect I usedto never get when all I got was upset
[00:52.84]When niggas use to be like 'What's up fool ' and tried
[00:56.30]To seat a ni**a like the Lip for no reason at all I can
[00:58.77]Recall crip niggas throwin' c in my face down the hall
[01:01.07]I'm kickin' it in the back of the school eatin' chicken at
[01:03.38]Three wonderin' why is everybody always pickin' on me
[01:05.79]I tried to talk and tell tham chill I did nothing to deserve
[01:08.27]This But when it didn't work I wasn't scared just real
[01:11.22]Nervous and unprepared to deal with scrappin' no doubt
[01:13.74]
[01:14.44]Cuz my pappy never told me how to knock a ni**a out
[01:16.74]But now in 95 I must survive as a man on my own F**k
[01:19.44]Around with Fatlip yes ya get blown I'm not tryin to show
[01:22.55]
[01:24.05]No macho is shown but when it's on if it's on then it's on
[01:26.82]
[02:12.13]There comes a time in every mans life
[02:16.27]When he's gotta handle up on his own
[02:18.10]Can't depend on friends to help you in a sqeeze
[02:20.37]Please they got problems of their own
[02:22.04]
[02:23.72]Down for the count on seven chickens shits don't
[02:25.63]Get to heaven til they faced these fears in these fear zones
[02:28.53]Used to get jacked back in high school I played
[02:31.09]
[02:31.87]It cool just so some real sh*t won't get full blown
[02:34.11]Being where I'm from they let the smoke come quicker than an
[02:36.92]Evil red-neck could lynch a helpless colored figure
[02:38.79]
[02:39.64]And as a victim I invented low-key til the keyhole itself got
[02:42.65]Lower than me
[02:43.66]
[02:44.58]So I stood up and let my free form form
[02:46.32]Free I don't sweat it I let the b******t blow in the breeze
[02:50.18]
[02:52.84]In other words just freeze
[02:54.44]
[03:45.88]It's 1995 now that I'm older stress weighs on my shoulders
[03:49.37]Heavy as boulders but I told ya
[03:51.31]Till the day that I die I still will be a soldier and that's all I told
[03:55.97]Ya and that's all I showed ya
[03:57.90]And all this calamity is rippin' my sanity
[04:00.24]Can it be I'm a celebrity
[04:01.51]
[04:02.21]Whose on the brink of insanity
[04:04.10]
[04:06.15]Now don't be wishin's of switchin' any positions with me
[04:08.07]Cuz when you in my position it ain't never easy
[04:10.78]To do any type of maintaining cuz all this gaming and famin' from
[04:14.84]Entertainin' is hella straining to the brain and
[04:17.69]But I can't keep runnin I just gotta keep keen and cunnin'
