Running Rebels Lyrics

[Intro: Teedra Moses & Wale]
Ohh, ohh
M-M-M-Maybach Music
Ooh, hah
Ay, look, yeah

[Verse 1: Wale]
Where did my time go? I let it fly
Spending time tryna find 'em and y'all niggas the right flow
I like hoes that like poles in clean clubs
My slight foes just talk dirty, I clean em up
Money'll make 'em buck, trust, they seen enough
Lust'll have you slippin', love'll have you stuck
From where they praise, bitches is artificially dumb
Politicians be stuntin', most of them niggas stumped
Roll a Swisher, let's move it, my position improving
Not to mention I adventured into a cooler unit
Moving in unison, used to be such a hooligan
But now I'm on a roll, I think I'm Patches O'Houlihan
Ben Stiller, Zoolander, same face
Bars change a nigga life, nigga, Scared Straight
Jordan 8, strapped up, blasting out some backyard
Backwoods in my ashtray, I'm happier when high and drunk
Baby I'm in the zone, lately been writing poems
Can't put my soul in this bullshit music that y'all condone
Motherfuck it, I'ma count all these duckets
I'ma keep my integrity, y'all can keep all y'all budgets
Buzzin', like my very first day in here
Laying here, laying here all in your lady ear
Mercedes rearview, that's where today appears
I'm past present, you lightyears behind here
Wale
[Chorus: Teedra Moses]
Rolling while I'm blowing this stash
Got my foot on the gas, drop top on this thang
And the moon looking beautiful as ever
City lights got me on another level
Feeling live tonight
We're running wild tonight
They can never hold me down
Cause I'm running wild

[Verse 2: Meek Mill]
Uh, uh, yeah
They Larry Davis me and said I tried to kill a cop
Picture that and they ain't fire not a single shot
They said I'm guilty, I ain't get a chance to say I'm not
Bail was a quarter mil', they put me in the box
Hah, dead broke tryna get a bail
Calling niggas, really knowing they don't give a hell
But I ain't give a fuck cause I ain't tryna sit in jail
They giving niggas letters here and they ain't sending mail
I'm talking life sentence, forever nice pendent
This shit right here will turn a man to a mice nigga
This shit right here will turn a killer to a nice nigga
Cold cell, lock down like a vice gripper
Lead by my strategy, winning I do sporadically
Try attacking me, automatic shoot automatically
City backing me, headed for it, no looking back at me
Lyrical assault, they charge me without the battery
Hah, running rebel on another level
Like the Olympics, these youngins just want another metal
They say to get a hundred mil', you must become the devil
If you believe that, nigga you is dumb as ever
Young and dumb, or even old and stupid
I put my faith in God, never try, I just do it
Niggas be down for the moment, they ain't for the movement
My nigga Rozay put me on the tour cause I am music
[Chorus: Teedra Moses]
Rolling while I'm blowing this stash
Got my foot on the gas, drop top on this thang
And the moon looking beautiful as ever
City lights got me on another level
Feeling live tonight
We're running wild tonight
They can never hold, me, down
Cause I'm running wild

[Verse 3: Stalley]
I ain't never been a dreamer or fascinated by a Beamer
Or none of those funny floats niggas gloat in
I keep it classic in that metal frame box I smoke in
And push through the milk on a slow bend
With my kin that I came in with
Blue Collar Gang, we slang that ish
The script stuck to it, hustle like we ain't gain ish
Never lookin for a handout, ain't my language
I work hard for everything I get, and keep a tight grip for everyone
Waiting on the day I slay, a rebel though
I don't hold my lips
They say I talk like I'm godbody, Bob Marley, Marvin and Marcus
And since I skipped over puddles
They tryna throw me where sharks is, but I'm a well of inspiration
A wishing well they throw they chips to in desperation
All bets on 'em, double MG, tell my foes I ain't left on 'em
[Chorus: Teedra Moses]
Rolling while I'm blowing this stash
Got my foot on the gas, drop top on this thang
And the moon looking beautiful as ever
City lights got me on another level
Feeling live tonight
We're running wild tonight
They can never hold, me, down
Cause I'm running wild
