[Hook]

Rose up out the grave where we used to lie

Now I'm running through the world

No, I can't hide

Rose up out the grave where we used to lie

Now I'm running through the world

No, I can't hide

No, I can't hide

No, I can't hide


[Verse 1]

What kind of man can survive without some damn pride

Put my cards on the table, laid 'em all face up

Except that ace in my sleeve that I still keep tucked

Head full of poems, buried in gold

Like a young King Tut till you wake up like Midas

And you curse with everything you touch

Turn your girl solid gold and you'll see what's what

Dark days when the sun shines brighter

And you lost what you love but you started that fire

Regret's a cold bitch that'll stab you with an ice pick

Just deep enough until you finally learn to like it

Or at least accept it's all part of life, shit


[Hook]

Rose up out the grave where we used to lie

Now I'm running through the world

No, I can't hide

Rose up out the grave where we used to lie

Now I'm running through the world

No, I can't hide


[Verse 2]

Los Angeles, New York, my tale of two cities

L.A. I started breathing, N.Y. I started living

Eighteen years of freeways and palm trees

Traded it for the subways and zombies

Hated every winner and the price of some bomb weed

But I loved the way the city never sleeps, just like me

Blood shot whites in my iris' coffee

Handcuffed to memories, I write to unlock these

Stories out my heart-shaped box and let 'em walk free

Breathing out some life while all of these bodies dropping


[Hook]

Rose up out the grave where we used to lie

Now I'm running through the world

No, I can't hide

Rose up out the grave where we used to lie

Now I'm running through the world

No, I can't hide
