[Dnl. - Chorus]

I’ve been doing some thinking

Been giving myself some time

But trying not to waste it, I can’t live inside my head, ooh

They been asking where I’ve been tho, but there never been a sequel

Eyes wide shut, I’m alive and I’ll stay sleepless through the night

Been planning a runaway, runaway, ooh

Runaway, runaway uh…

[Subhas]

I gotta get up outta here right now

But I gotta fight my fears right now

In the mud too many years right now but

We ain’t wiping our tears right now

Wonder whats holding me back

Man I’m in a cul de sac

Didn’t know was gonna rap

I was feeling kinda trapped

If I said it it’s a fact

Add it up never subtract

And I’ve learnt not to react

When they push you to attack

Scenes I’ll never reenact

When they stab you in the back

I said they stab you in the back

Yeah they stab you in the back

Man the odds were always stacked

To put me on my back

So I put it on the track

And we bend but never crack, uh!

Can’t escape, we can’t escape

We out here breaking shackles that we didn’t create

Can’t leave it up to fate, I - gotta be great

Tell ‘em I ain’t got the time, I’m on a paper chase, like!

[Dnl. - Chorus]

I’ve been doing some thinking

Been giving myself some time

But trying not to waste it, I can’t live inside my head, ooh

They been asking where I’ve been tho, but there never been a sequel

Eyes wide shut, I’m alive and I’ll stay sleepless through the night

Been planning a runaway, runaway, ooh

Runaway, runaway uh…

[Subhas]

I’m a different entity, most of these rappers they envy me

Doing this till the cemetery, then I join rap’s divinity

I’m that kid from Clementi, have you begging for clemency

Got a proclivity to doing things differently

Put that wash on heavy load, man my city on my back

And you can get it anytime like a laundromat

Not tryna rhyme for some dimes, I’m tryna make hella sense

But the only people bring change are some dead presidents

Move ma to a different residence, so she can feel the elements

Turn struggles to dividends, and I’m the living evidence

Airing out all these skeletons, cos that's the only medicine

Life robbed me of my innocence, but I see gold in sediments

Can’t escape, we can’t escape

We out here breaking shackles that we didn’t create

Can’t leave it up to fate, I - gotta be great

Tell ‘em I ain’t got the time, I’m on a paper chase, like!

[Dnl. - Chorus]

I’ve been doing some thinking

Been giving myself some time

But time is never, I don’t live inside my head, ooh

They been asking where I’ve been tho, and the answer’s really simple

I’m out here tryna do this right that’s why I’m sleepless through the night

Been planning a runaway, runaway, ooh

Runaway, runaway uh…
