Saint Thomas - RUNNERS Lyrics

(Woooo!)
We runners on the way
It's a marathon in the streets where y'all ain't tryna play
It's a sunset outside, the falling of the day
There's a cloud growing out but y'all don't like the rain
I see people at peace in life, that's moving fast
While I think about where I'm going, trying not to crash
It's differences ain't adding up, I failed in math
Cuz I'm fearful of a journey that lasts until I'm ash again
We runners on the way
Every day we running it up and trying to get paid
We've been striving for success in our lives, afraid to fail
Pray to God we don't end up dead or end up in jail
I might cry if I see my dawgs working the scale
Trying to live cuz the price of life climbing up the scale
Or if I see my home girl put her body up for sale
We made our world into a living hell, without bail
We runners on the way
Running away from open arms avoiding pain
Finding love, but finding something wrong cuz we are afraid
We've been let down trying not to fall once again
Cuz we watch love die, we feel it drag us down
Wanna die with it cuz we lost everything to their smile
Watch our parents split too, watch the family fall apart
And wonder if it's even love from the start
A world full of broken hearts
We runners on the way
It's heaven on the planet, but our eyes covered in shade
I've been staying up inside, watching life behind a screen
Watch a world in distress
We all made a mess
We can't clean up our act
Can't move on to the next
Can't be calm with our steps
So we all carry stress
I'm beyond very blessed
As I walk, taking breaths
Under god, living fresh
'Til I'm gone, out of flesh
We runners on the way to a peaceful life
But peace of mind can haunt you
Freedom like I'm fleeing what I taught you
Be the light to see behind the costume
Keep alive, but keeping life will cost you
Be alright, til being alive exhausts you
Fear your life cuz fear might finally guard you
I feel the light, I'm fleeing life, I'm off it
We runners on the way!
