[00:00.25]Runaway - J Cole
[00:00.87]Married men act totally different when they're by themselves, don't they?
[00:03.31]
[00:04.49]You see them with their wife, like, "what's up Tony
[00:06.23]" Hey man, how's everything going brother?"
[00:07.36]"Just taking it easy, hanging out with the lady"
[00:10.86]"Alright, take it easy now, God bless you"
[00:12.47]
[00:15.22]You be like that nigga ain't like that
[00:16.78]
[00:20.21]You see him by himself, "What's up Tony?"
[00:22.02]"Hey, yo, where's the bitches at, nigga?"
[00:23.52]
[00:27.76]Yeah, give me my space
[00:29.07]Lord ain't enough time to chase all these dreams
[00:31.75]I mean I got no time to wait
[00:33.38]Love my girl but told her straight up "don't wait up"
[00:36.06]Stumble home late, I'm drunk, we fucked the maid up
[00:38.93]Used to live free as a bird, now I'm laid up
[00:41.36]Feeling like a nigga got handcuffs on
[00:43.36]How the fuck did my life become a damn love song?
[00:46.17]She ride for a nigga and she stand up for him
[00:48.98]But a nigga wanna be a nigga, be a nigga
[00:51.66]Ride through the streets with freaks and real niggas
[00:53.87]She never understand what it's like to be a man
[00:56.36]Knowing when you look inside yourself you see a nigga
[00:59.17]And you don't wanna let her down but you too young for the settle down
[01:03.97]And maybe you can thug it out, learn what is love about
[01:06.34]When you can't live with it and live without
[01:08.46]Oh shit, goddamn, I think the devil got his hands on me
[01:12.40]Stripper saying: "Baby, why don't you throw these bands on me?"
[01:15.65]And I came to spend, she pop a molly let the motherfucking games begin
[01:18.96]
[01:19.72]I'm running...
[01:20.78]Runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway
[01:23.08]
[01:26.08]I'm holding on desperately
[01:28.20]
[01:30.95]Runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway
[01:34.19]
[01:35.63]I'm holding on
[01:37.62]When it's all said and done everybody dies
[01:39.31]
[01:39.93]In this life ain't no happy endings
[01:41.87]Only pure beginnings followed by years of sinning and fake repentance
[01:44.43]The preacher says we were made in image of law
[01:47.67]To which I replied: "Are you sure?
[01:49.85]Even the murderer? Even the whore?
[01:52.22]Even the nigga running through bitches on tour?"
[01:54.40]With a good girl at home folding clothes and shit
[01:56.97]She losing faith in him and he knows and shit
[01:59.58]Like what the fuck is a break, don't know how much I can take no more
[02:02.77]I give you all I got till it ain't no more
[02:05.44]No more tears it's been ten long years, damn near
[02:08.63]I don't know if I can wait no more, and who can blame her
[02:11.97]You complaining 'bout every time you out, you come back she paow
[02:15.33]Sleeping back to back, this is wack
[02:17.45]We 'bout to go platinum in a minute, crib acting out
[02:20.27]My childhood fantasies of wife and home
[02:22.76]But it's a whole lot of actresses I'd like to bone
[02:24.81]
[02:25.64]And despite the rumors you hold out on account the guilt
[02:28.26]She's has got to spend her nights alone
[02:30.95]And she ride or die like Eve and 'em
[02:33.43]Make home cooked meals every evening
[02:35.12]
[02:35.81]And even then your lowest days your lowest days
[02:39.05]When you no Superman at least you got your Lois Lane
[02:40.87]But you...
[02:41.93]Runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway
[02:44.55]
[02:47.73]I'm holding on desperately
[02:50.17]
[02:52.53]Runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway
[02:55.91]
[02:58.15]I'm holding on
[02:58.96]
[03:00.33]Yeah, unbelievable seen evil that not even Knievel know
[03:04.58]At age 3 I knew this world was three below
[03:06.95]Listen, even know my ego low achieved the unachievable
[03:09.51]Imagine if my confidence was halfway decent, yo
[03:11.88]This just in, fucked more bitches than Bieber though
[03:14.50]Still I keep it low, got my niggas on the need to know
[03:17.12]Basis, my manager back in the day was racist
[03:19.43]I was a young boy, passing skate and tucking laces
[03:21.80]Old perverted white man who told me: "Jermaine, It's all pink on the inside
[03:25.91]Fuck what color their face is." wise words from an indecent man
[03:29.23]Made me reflect on the times when we was three fifths of them
[03:31.97]And change empower less, brave souls reduce the cowardness
[03:33.97]Slaving in the baking sun for hours
[03:37.27]Just to see the master creep into the shack where your lady at
[03:40.96]Nine months later got a baby that not quite what you excepted
[03:43.82]
[03:44.70]But you refuse to neglect it cause you know your wifey love you
[03:48.31]Does you refuse to accept it?
[03:50.81]That's that type shit tell why my granny light skin
[03:52.99]Rich white man rule the nation still, only difference is we all slaves know
[03:56.92]The change concealed in our thoughts
[03:58.04]If I follow my heart to save myself
[04:00.10]Could I run away from 50 mill like Dave Chappell?
[04:03.02]
[04:03.71]Runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway
[04:06.51]
[04:09.45]I'm holding on desperately
[04:11.76]Runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway
[04:17.25]
[04:18.99]I'm holding on
