[Intro]
‘Bout time for a revolution
Dark times for the melanated
One time done hit the block like clockwork
Time for an execution

[Chorus]
Run, run, run, run, run (Let’s go)
Run, run, run, run, run (Let’s go)

[Verse 1]
Light at the end of the tunnel I know the reaper’s coming
I can’t pretend I don’t love you life is a bad b!tch
Embrace the verse in the Bible, don’t be a savage
Another death in the jungle, you better (Run, run, run, run, run)
City n!gga, get a gun (Gun, gun, gun, gun)
Pull the trigger (Huh)
There’s a war going on outside, yeah
No minute’s safe from—

[Chorus]
Can’t hide, can’t run (Run, run, run, rub)
Let’s go
Let’s go
Let’s go

[Verse 2]
Lost in translation can’t find my religion
Is God on vacation? I just punched my ticket at Grand Central Station
I left all my baggage, had nothing worth taking
I’m rushing, not chasing, I’m tired
Controlled by my worldly desires
I miss when I used to aspire
My feet to the fire stumbled into hell again

[Chorus]
Can’t hide, can’t run, let’s go (Run, run, run, run, run)

Can’t hide, can’t run, let’s go (Run, run, run, run, run)
Can’t hide, can’t run, let’s go (Run, run, run, run, run)
Can’t hide, can’t run, let’s go (Run, run, run, run, run)

[Bridge]
I can’t catch my breath heart-shaped hole inside my chest
Lost my hope and happiness can’t retrace my steps
Far away from where I left nothing there for me but death
Blessing after blessing had to give ‘fore I received them
Passing down the lessons learned from stepping on the cement
Grave some minor grievances, I still ain’t finished grieving
Never talked to therapists and rarely call on Jesus
Don’t pick up my phone a lot, I like to be alone with thoughts
Only you from broken hearts, I know you think I changed
Music is a nightmare, I feel like Dina Dina, all I have is pain

[Chorus]
Can’t hide, can’t run (Run, run, run, run, run)
Can’t hide, can’t run, let’s go (Run, run, run, run, run)
Can’t hide, can’t run, let’s go (Run, run, run, run, run)
Can’t hide, can’t run, let’s go (Run, run, run, run, run)
Can’t hide, can’t run—
