Big Boi, Wavves, B.o.B - Shoes For Running lyrics

Shoes for running, and I'll race ya
Sun is coming, it'll chase ya
Through this deadbeat town
Through this deadbeat town
The end is coming, I would race ya
But there's no running, it'll chase ya
Death will hunt you down
Death will hunt you down

What about the people that's barefoot
With no shoes for running when
The sun come up?
Hey one percenters, the 99 say
"What you gonna do for us?"
We'll run up in your house
Like the first runner up, uh
Be the first one to buck and the
Last one to get laid down stay down
And now we're looking at the top of the pile
Or the king of the mountain
Gon' knock him off


Revolt, but y'all niggas here too soft
Bubblegum, just popping off
At the mouth like the nigga got all the hoes
Got all the dough and all the women
Boy, what you gon' do in the penitentiary?
Got a lot of money, can't take it with me
I can't take it with me
I wish they could send me
To the moon and back with a cure for cancer
And save the lives of my great grandmama
And my great grandaddy, now that's the answer
To the question
But they make money off the medicine
Leaving us all stuck in elections
With no progressions, just recessions

Shoes for running, and I'll race ya
Sun is coming, it'll chase ya
Through this deadbeat town
Through this deadbeat town
The end is coming, I would race ya
But there's no running, it'll chase ya
Death will hunt you down
Death will hunt you down

Look, just as I expected, life gets deadly
It's funny how the beloved
Become the beheaded
The truth can be independent or the
Direction that you stretch it
So my niggas will draw when shit gets sketchy
That's a masterpiece, a work
Of art, a gallery, no photoshop
Pictures say a million words
So I just let my photos talk
Even in your local talk, niggas say
"You know he boss"
Everytime my name is brought up
Better know it's mogul talk
That's why she give me geek
'til her shins weak i'm blazing everyday
You can call that demp week
You're running from your life
That you didn't see
That's like playing hide and seek
With the Grim Reaper

Shoes for running, and I'll race ya
Sun is coming, it'll chase ya
Through this deadbeat town
Through this deadbeat town
The end is coming, I would race ya
But there's no running, it'll chase ya
Death will hunt you down
Death will hunt you down

You can run but you can't hide
Spent your whole life
Trying to escape, when everybody stayed
Getting tired of living in
A lie, different nights, same town
Say goodbyes, but we tried cause we know
There's no getting out
And when the pawns are playing themselves
I just lay and wait and straighten myself
Let them war it out 'til
They wear themselves out
Bring them back to life
Give them mouth to mouth

Shoes for running, and I'll race ya
Sun is coming, it'll chase ya
Through this deadbeat town
Through this deadbeat town
The end is coming, I would race ya
But there's no running, it'll chase ya
Death will hunt you down
Death will hunt you down

You can fight and try to get away
But there's nowhere to run and hide to
You better know that there will come a day
Eventually, it's gon' find you
You can fight and try to get away
But there's nowhere to run and hide to
You better know that there will come a day
Eventually, it's gon' find you
Eventually, it's gon' find you, find you
Uh, uh, uh, it's gon' find you
And it's gon', yeah, eventually
It's gon' find you
And it's gon' find yo' ass
It's gon' find you, yeah
