Marathons - Intellectual

[Hook: Mo Muse]

I, I’ve been runnin’ all my life

I’ve been, I’ve been runnin’

I, I’ve been runnin' all my life

I’ve been , I’ve been runnin'

Now im runnin’ out of time

(Don’t know how I’ma function)

See this that hiphop nigga

Nigga run your mouth and get your lips locked nigga

I’m kinda fortunate nigga rhymes with nigga

Figure how my life would have flipped had I been a damn singer

Middle finger to the critics and the media

I can find more truth in wikipedia

Funny how they're feedin’ ya fear, hopeless

Emotive bullshit, keep it movin’ like a locomotive

They keep you busy feelin’ so devoted

To this job you have that really ain't payin’ shit

While I listen to this anchor-man that ain't saying shit

Fuck a radio I ain't playin’ shit, coz it’s all run

By the same machine, same money making regime

And yo it seems that the seams holding on to the fabric of truth

Come loose to truthful and open-minded human-beings

Rap activist, no love for the capitalist

Probably kill me as I rap to this

But fuck that, I’ll be lucky if they play this

I’ve only ever bowed down to the greatest

Planned obsolesence got you begging like a peasant

Man you got to keep up with the latest

So you buy buy buy, and consume-sume-sume

Before you know it, it’s gone too soon

So be fearful of forceful extortionists

It’s all in marketing metamorphosis

I hear them talking in corporate offices

Offering loans to their homes that are double what their profit is

While bottom of the ladder stay profitless

Sick thoughts of a sawed-off shotgun

Going off, in the main loft of an orphanage

See ain't no way you can soften this

Born in a brutal metropolis

Give a damn what your record deal offer is

Yeah, just trying to keep my head straight

Long days got me feeling like dead weight

Got to make sure my family’s in fed state

While I make plans on purchasing an estate

The crown on my chest, like checkmate

Tired of this runnin’, I just wanna be
