On The Run Lyrics

[Verse 1 ]

(Hey) It's fear
They got you running for your life
So you gotta stand up and fight
Don't interfere
They coming at you outta spite
Yeah I know what it's like
Man it ain't safe to be near
Yeah back in the fold
Tackling old giants man the cops they ain't being sincere
No rest for the weary
All stress when they wanna make you dissapear


[Hook]

They got me on the run (I gotta run)
Run ( I gotta run)
They got me on the run (I gotta run)
Run ( I gotta run)
Then they yellin put your hands in the air (Put your hands in the air)
Put your hands in the air (Put your hands in the air)
They yellin put your hands in the air (Put your hands in the air)
Put your hands in the air
Freeze!

[Verse 2 ]

Yeah i'm back and i'm ready to get active
Yeah I'm here and i'm ready to attack this
So rumbling the concrete jungle and the revolution on TV
You can hear my stomach rumbling
I need to eat
Turning the spotlight back on the truth
Police tryna put me back up under a boot
OK you wanna play that game
Just say my name and I'll be in a vocal booth
Like Boof??
Break it down for the simpletons
All the people that the cops kill
Yeah we gonna remember them
Dip into your patrol ride
They wanna collide with me
But they don't know that I will cripple them
Run run from the gravedigger and rise to consider
The wise prize?? delivering wide eyes
Everybody come hither
And try to be calm while this bar?? is delivering


[Hook]

[Verse 3]

(Man) you don't know the struggle till you've been there
Till you sit and stare at a wall 9 to 5 and then you get where?
Dreaming up ways to get up out of the struggle
Calling the reinforcements for the huddle
Always something that'll bust bubbles
Turn your whole fortress into rubble
Bring the hustle close so that you can cuddle
But more money can get you in trouble
What you don't know might put you into a scuffle
If you attacking like a dog in a muzzle
Yeah you can call that a reflex
But you're just another piece of the puzzle
You get up in the system forget about it
Another number they can write-down to write-off
You gotta be smart when you spit about it
And think about what the effects might cost (like death)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
