Shoes For Running

[Hook: Wavves]

Shoes for running, and I'll race ya

Sun is coming, it'll chase ya

Through this deadbeat town

Through this deadbeat town

The end is coming, I would race ya

But there's no running, it'll chase ya

Death will hunt you down

Death will hunt you down

[Verse 1: Big Boi]

What about the people that's barefoot

With no shoes for running when the sun come up?

Hey one percenters, the 99 say, "What you gonna do for us?"

We'll run up in your house like the first runner up, uh

Be the first one to buck and the last one to get laid down

Stay down, and now we're looking at the top of the pile

Or the king of the mountain gon' knock him off

Revolt, but y'all niggas here too soft

Bubblegum, just popping off

At the mouth like the nigga got all the hoes

Got all the dough and all the women

Boy, what you gon' do in the penitentiary?

Got a lot of money, can't take it with me, I can't take it with me

I wish they could send me

To the moon and back with a cure for cancer

And save the lives of my great grandmama

And my great grandaddy, now that's the answer

To the question, but they make money off the medicine

Leaving us all stuck in elections

With no progressions, just recessions

[Hook: Wavves]

Shoes for running, and I'll race ya

Sun is coming, it'll chase ya

Through this deadbeat town

Through this deadbeat town

The end is coming, I would race ya

But there's no running, it'll chase ya

Death will hunt you down

Death will hunt you down

[Verse 2: B.o.B]

Look, just as I expected, life gets deadly

It's funny how the beloved become the beheaded

The truth can be independent or the direction that you stretch it

So my niggas will draw when shit gets sketchy

That's a masterpiece, a work of art, a gallery, no photoshop

Pictures say a million words, so I just let my photos talk

Even in your local talk, niggas say, "You know he boss"

Everytime my name is brought up better know it's mogul talk

That's why she give me geek 'til her shins weak

I'm blazing everyday, you can call that demp week

You're running from your life that you didn't see

That's like playing hide and seek with the Grim Reaper

[Hook: Wavves]

Shoes for running, and I'll race ya

Sun is coming, it'll chase ya

Through this deadbeat town

Through this deadbeat town

The end is coming, I would race ya

But there's no running, it'll chase ya

Death will hunt you down

Death will hunt you down

[Verse 3: Big Boi]

You can run but you can't hide, spent your whole life

Trying to escape, when everybody stayed

Getting tired of living in a lie, different nights, same town

Say goodbyes, but we tried cause we know there's no getting out

And when the pawns are playing themselves

I just lay and wait and straighten myself

Let them war it out 'til they wear themselves out

Bring them back to life, give them mouth to mouth

[Hook: Children]

Shoes for running, and I'll race ya

Sun is coming, it'll chase ya

Through this deadbeat town

Through this deadbeat town

The end is coming, I would race ya

But there's no running, it'll chase ya

Death will hunt you down

Death will hunt you down

[Outro: B.o.B]

You can fight and try to get away

But there's nowhere to run and hide to

You better know that there will come a day

Eventually, it's gon' find you

You can fight and try to get away

But there's nowhere to run and hide to

You better know that there will come a day

Eventually, it's gon' find you

Eventually, it's gon' find you, find you

Uh, uh, uh, it's gon' find you

And it's gon', yeah, eventually, it's gon' find you

And it's gon' find yo' ass, it's gon' find you, yeah
