about

"Run" is a paranoid story involving me running for my life from a car full of attackers. After leaving my apartment following an argument with a woman I'm romantically wasting my time with, I walk outside and begin pondering how quickly life can be taken, and the evil motives behind violence. I think about my good friend Chino, a rapper from my hometown, and his murder. I spend the song essentially wondering "why do bad things happen to good people?". The song ends with SHE singing to calm me down and settle my mind and my anxiety as the flutes fade out.

lyrics

(Verse)
Blood running through chilled veins.
Paranoia will drive you insane.
I’m…
tip toeing on a razor blade,
praying I play the ace of spades.
Most of my nights are alone,
except for weekends, she dances inside of my home.
Honestly speaking, there’s no reason to mess with the broad,
cuz when we speaking I don’t think that she gets me at all.
Left the apartment for some solitude, been worried about my town a lot,
lot of niggas getting shot around the block.
Yeah I’m a nigga from the suburbs,
but bodies dropping every summer
turned us to brothers.
I’m worried about the others.
After Chino got murked
I questioned lots of shit up on this earth.
Like if a nigga live his life just to make art and get money
niggas will try to take the life of the homie?
And they tell me I’ve got nothing to worry bout.
Some niggas do anything to boost up they bank account,
even if it means draining your amount.
Poor,
or…
maybe just taking your life,
maybe a strap,
maybe up close with a knife,
heavy a price.
Now you’re running down the sidewalk, calf got a gash in it.
(Vroom) then you hear the mash of a fast engine.
Your breathing’s heavy,
praying, getting your soul ready.
Your tank is on empty.
Now it’s like four or five niggas in a caravan.
Legs stiff, got you feeling frozen like an avalanche.
Better make the corner, your apartment’s up the block,
pray your ankle don’t twist, pray your knees don’t pop.
Normally such a peaceful individual,
now you’re running with nothing but your own heartbeat to listen to.
Nightmares, and tight scares, I’m right here just living,
they run in schools, see kids and start killing.
Who knows who’ll be on the other side of a bullet, or a switch blade;
I was just tryna finish a mixtape (Saz),
and they was just tryna finish a mixtape (HD),
and he was just tryna finish a mixtape (Chino).
Maybe I’m over thinking it for sure.
Honestly, I don’t know anymore.

[SHE]

[It’s alright,
you’ve got to take your time.
I lead you the way,
just take my hand and breathe.]
