Scott-Heron, Gil - Running Lyrics
Because I always feel like running
Not away, because there is no such place
Because, if there was I would have found it by now
Because it's easier to run, easier than staying and finding out
You're the only one who didn't run
Because running will be the way your life and mine will be described
As in "the long run"
Or as in having given someone a "run for his money"
Or as in "running out of time"
Because running makes me look like everyone else
Though I hope there will never be cause for that
Because I will be running in the other direction
Not running for cover
Because if I knew where cover was
Not running for my life
Because I have to be running for something
Of more value to be running and not in fear
Because the thing I fear cannot be escaped
Eluded, avoided, hidden from, protected from, gotten away from
Not without showing the fear as I see it now
Because closer, clearer, no sir, nearer
Because of you and because of that nice
That you quietly, quickly be causing
And because you're going to see me run soon
And because you're going to know why I'm running then
You'll know then
Because I'm not going to tell you now

wtf is Jamie doin
This album sucks not to be mean jamiexx
Well I on the other hand love this album and its what got me into Jamie XX
not everyone is into bangerz and drops. surprise surprise, real musicians are influenced by a multitude of real music to create something new.
listen to drivel and you will only reduce what you've heard to it's essence, which is shit. listen to gold and you might make a necklace out of it. real musicians respect past genius.
Then your music taste is shit then.
Yo mama.
