Don't Run - Statik Selektah, Joyner Lucas

My mama told me don’t run

Don’t run-run away, away, away, away, away, away

Momma don’t told me don’t run, don’t run, don’t

I see with my eyes

Recognize it’s my time

Take a drink to Mai Tais

Find a way, that’s my lie

Celebrate in my prime

Get away I’ma leave you

Take a break I need to

Hold on wait, I need you

Zz ma, I’m dreaming though

Who got the keys to the Beamer though?

Who got the keys to the older one?

I know Khaled ain’t the only one

Tryna play golf with the older sluts

Just a young nigga tryna get a hole in one

Sick of being broke not owning much

And all I wanna do is have Oprah’s son

I see with my eyes

Recognize it’s my time

Reminisce, yeah time flies

I’m a prince, uh Cyhi

Dream big, yeah, fly high

Get away I’ma leave you

Take a break I need to

Baby wait, I need you

Black on black whip, my black on black bitch

Got black on black kids and shit

Black on black crime

Black on black violence

Black on black witnesses

And it’s my project and you can’t stop 'less

You just say I did the shit that I did

And if I die, then I bring back God

And just get all my benefits

Ma-ma-ma told me don’t run

Run away, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Ma-ma-ma told me don’t run

Don’t run, run away, away, away, away, away, away

Momma don’t told me don’t run, don’t run, don’t run

All I wanna do is give high fives

With all the pretty women in the white tights

And tell all of my enemies bye bye

You can never imitate a nigga, why try

I’m a truth, I ain’t never tell a white lie

I used to push drugs in the nighttime

Tryna hit the plug on the Wifi

Wondering how many are wishing that I died

Back before I had a buzz nigga

I was nothing but a drug dealer

Ain’t nobody show me love nigga

Never knew who I was

God damn I was looking for a buzz bigger

Than anyone on a Hot 100

So broke I ain’t got one hundred

You a real, no you not 100

I ain’t never had a lot though

But I work with what I got though

Any nigga that was ever hating

I just say I see you at the top door

Don’t nobody know who you are

Yeah you just another John Doe

Just another day of old news

Just another PS2 console

Black on black whip, my black on black bitch

Got black on black kids and shit

Black on black crime

Black on black violence

Black on black witnesses

And it’s my project and you can’t stop 'less

You just say I did the shit that I did

And if I die then I bring back God

And just get all my benefits

Ma-ma-ma told me don’t run

Don’t run-run away, away, away, away, away, away

Momma told me don’t run, don’t run, don’t run

Yeah, yeah

Never will I ever tell a motherfucking bold face lie

But I might just hop up in a Bronco and make OJ drive

Dammit, I’ve been nothing but a fuck up for my whole damn life

Momma told me never run away and now I still can’t hide, yeah, yeah

Ain’t nobody ever give me nothing, everything I got a nigga got it on his own

Ain’t too much that you can tell a nigga I already know

Listen, you can get it, you can get it, you can get it however you want

Been around the way a little

Honestly, I’d rather be alone

Yeah, that’ll be-that'll be the day I leave

Why you gotta act needy, you don’t really hope things change

Why you gotta be so greedy, you just want the whole damn thing

No can do nigga, no can-no can say

Big fuck you to your whole damn-whole damn face

Look, I told my niggas be patient, it’s only a matter of time 'fore we winning

They never want us to shine

They been praying we failing way from the beginning

I told my girl that I love her but truth is I’m young and I’m gonna keep sinning

How the hell I’m gonna be faithful when trapped with these beautiful women

I wanna fuck all of them-all of them

Never will I ever try to make you stay the whole damn time

Never will I ever tell a motherfucking bold face lie

Dammit, I’ve been nothing but a fuck up for my whole damn life

Momma told me never run away and now I still can’t hide

Still can’t hide, yeah

Ma-ma-ma told me don’t run

Don’t run-run away away away away away away

Momma told me don’t run, don’t run, don’t run

Ma-ma-ma told me don’t run

Don’t run-run away away away away away away

Momma told me don’t run, don’t run, don’t run
