Marathon Man Lyrics

[Produced by Ralfy and Infamous]

[Verse 1: Wrekonize]
Is anybody out there?
Is anybody down to run?
Spectators in their lawn chairs
While we're waiting for the starting gun

We all know we've got to move soon
We all know why we're here
So let's try and live this moment
For a couple hundred thousand years

I'm focused now
And so's the crowd
Hit by the sound
Feet meet concrete and we bounce

[Bridge 1: Wrekonize & Bernz]
(Run!)
Short breaths as I go
(Run!)
Forget everything I know
(Run!)
Become one with the road
I know I felt this before

[Hook: Bernz]
Marathon man, keeping pace, making time
Went so fast that I've got a runner's high
Can't come down before I cross the finish line
Cause I've gotta win the race, man, I can't lag behind

I'm a marathon man, keeping pace, making time
Went so fast that I've got a runner's high
Can't come down before I cross the finish line
Man I've gotta win the race cause I got rat's behind
[Verse 2: Wrekonize]
Is anybody watchin'?
Is anybody seein' this?
All I heard was the explosion
And now I can't even feel my fist
Smoke all around my eyelids
Lady can't find her kid
It's so loud it seems silent
But I'm still trying to reach the end
They're on the ground
And screaming now
I can't go down
The flight carries me from the sound


[Bridge 2: Wrekonize and Bernz]
(Run!)
Blood pouring on the road
(Run!)
Despite everything I know
(Run!)
I can't let them change my course
I run until I can't go on

[Hook]

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 [?]
