Lightyear Lyrics

Boy don't run, don't run, don't run

Boy don't run, don't run, don't run

Boy don't run, don't

Black star

Black eyes

All black everything

Reppin for my district

Fuck 12, Katniss Everdeen

Why aren't you in school

Rather peel like a tangerine

Plus I'm not a hero

Let's keep it one hundred

I know way too many zeros

Rep that set life like Deniro

MJ said it first, if you wanna see it clearer

Just take one look in the mirror

Mine's distorted and I fear the image looking back at me

Attacking me, and backing me down into this corner of my room

Am I doomed to die alone cause my mind is like a tomb

No matter how much space I leave I can never keep it shut

I see faces in the leaves and hear voices in the breeze

Am I living too fast is my past catching up to me

Did I free my inner child or is my inner child holding custody

Haunting me, answers to these questions that I do not know

Although I hate to prolong, this is just the prologue

Stick around to the end of the show

See how it go, does he make it out

Or does he stay in too long

I need to be free

Before I say so long

Help me right my wrongs, Peace.

Running to the finish gotta get me some money

Call me day dream even though I'm not sunny

I'm just running for my life yeah, my life yeah

Looking like a slight year another light year ahead

Another light year ahead

Another light year ahead

Another light year ahead

I play with a darker matter like the negro leagues

I came up from out the mud like Jesus did

I feel like I can give heaven to a heathen

Be a reverend to a thief

And a beacon to a few at least

I've been living on borrowed time

Buried a few friends of mine

OG keep a loaded nine

Held it to my head sometimes

This is not the story that they telling you on Fox News and CNN

This a first person view I'm letting you see me in

This is my depression, my connection with the streets in fact

This is my obsession, my profession is perfectionist

I buried two friends as a teenager

I witnessed the murder of my next door neighbor

I moved to the suburbs hoping it be safer

The police pulled me over and harassed me

I just glad he didn't search my bags in the backseat

I had an edible and some codeine

I got too many fears and anxieties I'm going in

Head under water but a towel I ain't throwing in

Cash keep on rolling in, Circle keeps on closing in

Rap used to be the world, now my bars feel like the pen.

They say the word rapper the new "nigger"

So if you grab a mic you squeeze the trigger

That's why so many capping 'bout their figures

But Dream will split a cap 'bout his figures

Running to the finish gotta get me some money

Call me day dream even though I'm not sunny

I'm just running for my life yeah, my life yeah

Looking like a slight year another light year ahead

Another light year ahead

Another light year ahead

Another light year ahead

Don't run, don't run, don't run

Boy don't run, don't run, don't run

Don't run, don't run, don't run

Don't run, don't run
