- [Intro: Joey Bada$$]
Yo yo
Badmon representin
Yo yo
[Chorus: Joey Bada$$]
They say you never know what you got
Til its all up and away
And its so lonely at the top
Sometimes you wanna throw it away
But lately Ive been talking to God
He told me Heaven is a way better place
So Im taking everything that Ive got
And Im running away, Im running away
I just cant cope with the pain
You just wont understand
Running away (away from here)
Im running away
I just cant cope with the pain
You just wont understand
Running away (away from here)
[Verse 1: Joey Bada$$]
Gone like the wind, I cant seem to win
I know the end is near, but I just dont know when
Turn on to CNN, look at what I see again
Its another black man, died at the white hand of justice
To tell the truth, man, Im fuckin disgusted
I fear for the lives, for my sisters, my brothers
Less fortunate than I, lets formulate a plan
Im sick of holdin grudges, Im loadin in all my slugs and
Aimin it at the judges, fuck the cops
Fuck the system and the government, you fuckers not
Protectin and servin
You more like damagin and hurtin
And letting off shots til you motherfuckers certain
He aint breathin, you made it clear
'Fuck your breath, nigga,' dont even deserve air
Dont even deserve shit, dont even deserve nothin
Ifblack lives really mattered, you niggas would do somethin
Instead we mean nothin, in fact, we being hunted
They dont want us in abundance
They know its strength in them numbers
Thats why they gave you one
The time is comin, no discussion
If you aint got a gun, then you better start runnin
[Bridge: Chronixx]
Run to the rock of my salvation (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Run to the stone that the builder rejected (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I run to aboriginal, Christ, Haile Selassie
Hear them call some other name
Them other guy nuh qualified
A long long time mi see ah idiot a try
Tell me America is the land of the free, thats a lie
Cause nobody, nuh free bout yah
Bet how we leave Babylon, and go ah Ethiopia
And if you dont believe we can achieve that
Then you is just another idiot or another
[Verse 2: Joey Bada$$]
Motherfucker, its the J-O-Z-I-F B-A-D-M-O-N
Come on , bring them Ms on in
Im on the upside now, you can turn em Ms upside down
We bout to win, theres an L for the other side of him
Most greats that you lost, I invite em in
To my soul, dont you feel the vibes when Im channelin?
The innermost of my spirit been engulfed with plenty gold
Cause most of them labels throw pennies so
Who you think investin in penitentiaries though?
Same owners as them labels, same owners of your cable
Spoon feedin you fables, tryna keep your mind stable
Your eyes blind, and your skins hazel
The truth is under your nasal but even the airs all fucked up
How we supposed to see stars? Chemical trails above us
Plus bunch of other shit thats undiscovered
Detached from the roots since we set sail, my brothers
Thats word to motherland, sold us on stolen land
Visions from brother man, he seen us all holdin hands
Fifty years later, still see my brothers choked to death
R.I.P. to Eric Garner, only right I show respect
Nowaday they hangin us by a different tree
Branches of the government, I can name all three
Judicial, legislative and executive
Lock your pops away, your moms, then next the kids
Its all consecutive, Im just tryna break the cycle
I wonder if Ill do it all before they take my life, yo
Crucify my image, the Lord is my witness
If them Heavens gates closed
Ima break all them hinges for my niggas
Yes, Ima break all the hinges for my niggas
Yes, Ima break all the hinges for my niggas
Yes, Ima break all
[Chorus: Joey Bada$$]
They say you never know what you got
Til its all up and away
And its so lonely at the top
Sometimes you wanna throw it away
But lately Ive been talking to God
He told me Heaven is a way better place
So Im taking everything that Ive got
And Im running away, Im running away
I just cant cope with the pain
You just wont understand
Running away (away from here)
Im running away
I just cant cope with the pain
You just wont understand
Running away (away from here)
[Bridge: Chronixx]
As fast as I can to Mount Zion
Im running away (Im running away)
Im running away (Im running away)
Im running away (Im running away)
Im running away (Im running away)
Im running away (Im running away)
Im running away (Im running away)
Running away (Im running away)
Away, running away
[Outro: Joey Bada$$]
You better start running, running
Babylon boy them ah coming, coming yeah
You better start running, running
Babylon is coming
Babylon get jealous of we, of we
Just because I walk this way
Babylon get jealous of we, of we
