Running In Place - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Drew Famous]

September 27, 2011

I had a goal and then I set it and said I was gon’ get it, ain’t taking

No for an answer, this my life and I’ll live it

I’m pretty livid y’all ain’t believe till I showed you I did it, I’m saying

Took me six tapes, plus one to get to this place

I misplaced myself on the way, but I found me in space

Man on the Moon forever changed my perception on rap

Then I found The Cool after Lu’ was confirmed a veteran act

I’m etcetera rapping, back when Chance was on Acid

Mac been the one to do it, then I found Soul after Matches

At thirteen years old, I was living a dream

‘Least in my head I was, cause really life ain’t all what it seem

I dropped a couple songs, no one was listening

Switched schools, dropped a couple tapes and then the people started giggling

Met Dylan then we locked it down, made my first album

Put it out then got Levi’s attention with my first thousand

[Pre-Chorus: Levi Hinson]

I been at it since nobody showed me love

All these rappers need to do some growing up

Now that I’m better everybody showing up, but

I’m with my squad, and we steady going up

Cause we ain't

[Hook: Andrew Mulat]

Running in place, running in place, running in, running in place

Running in place, running in place, running in, running in, running in

Running in place, running in place, running in, running in place

Running in place, running in place, running in, running in, running in

Running in place, running in place, running in, running in place

Running in place, running in place, running in, running in, running in

Running in place, running in place, running in, running in place

Running in place, running in place, running in, running in, running in

[Verse 2: Drew Famous]

Met Kevin, now I got a group of friends

Started OIF cause it made sense, and we was gon’ stick with it till the end

Funny how things change, rearrange, then go back the same

But some things happen for a reason, so shut up, don’t ask again

Spent the winter working hard, dropped two tapes

One with my best friend and the other was a mistake

But it got my name out there, people paying attention now

Believe me if I got some fans, I ain’t gonna let ‘em down

We working hard now, met with an A&R in June

He said he liked my bars, but I ain’t finna let my guard down

Now my city popping off, Ray signed to the Roc

I’m tryna get his attention, but it’s gon take way more than bars now

We played the show in OK, it went great

Came back to my state and now we gotta get the album on lock

So now I’m standing next to Ray, and Ray next to Nas

Which means I’m one person away from standing next to a god, I'm saying
