lyrics

Translation: Run

[Verse 1]
We keep walking on the concrete, where are we right now?
I manipulated the story so it’s right where it needs to be
It’s none of your business, I’ll walk the path that will keep me warm
You? You’ll keep thinking of yourself
It’s not good enough, my feet won’t walk
Think for yourself see where these words come from
Why are you just walking, why not running?
Why don’t you care for anything other than money?
You’re not really rich when you’re act is poor,
There’s only one real mighty up above
Just accept that within this hierarchy
This is where you belong, which is better than falling
You’re at your own rock bottom, so just look ahead
This is just not your time yet...

Chorus:
Run, why are you deep in thoughts still?
You got a bit of hope, what will you do with it?
I’ve stood by you to solve the problems
But I won’t be walking with a naysayer
Who says my words are worth nothing?
Keep walking! You won’t see it coming
You look up in hopes of something coming down
And you got nowhere to belong

Verse 2
They tell me what is this rap thing?
Whoever’s in it have risked a great deal for it
Their good behaviour was just out of grudge
And our upstairs was always the underground
Got it? You know it’s not a game,
When I was a boy rap took my heart away
If I lose it one day, I won’t be able to walk
That’s why I’m sitting and he’s the one fighting
Someone once said: just leave if you’re not happy
My city is without laws and there are no judges
They said don’t let your brain be empty
Like they want it to hold a wedding party
My brain’s not empty yet, and these words are not a play
There’s one path ahead ahead of me, no other way to go
The story will be over before the crow gets home
My dad always told his kids that you reap what you sow
So why are you still sitting? Enough of it, don’t let it rot
If you sit and wait for the answers, you’ll be in a rut
Without these, all the words will back you up
But as things are, you’re not a winner, heh

Chorus:
Run, why are you deep in thoughts still?
You got a bit of hope, what will you do with it?
I’ve stood by you to solve the problems
But I won’t be walking with a naysayer
Who says my words are worth nothing?
Keep walking! You won’t see it coming
You look up in hopes of something coming down
And you got nowhere to belong
