Grits, V3 - Runnin lyrics

Runnin', runnin'
Lookin' for that love I once knew
Runnin', I'm runnin'
Trying to find my way back to you

I've been runnin' since understandin'
Confiscated my globe
Stuttering since expression stole the
Key to my soul
Struggling since victory presumed control
Battling since the truth infiltrated my mould
Seeking to find a life in invisible hold
Traveling down the path of a difficult road
Runnin' without a clue of being laid astray
Swearing I'm getting closer but
Really further away

Runnin', runnin'
Lookin' for that love I once knew
Runnin', I'm runnin'
Trying to find my way back to you

Don't you sometimes sit back
And look at yourself
Examine things in life you hate but
You've become get sick of yourself
The very images you claim lack worth
Then with uncontrolled labor pains them
Very images you gave birth
This topic got me ceiling walkin'
I'm so beside myself
I'm lookin' at me like I'm someone else
And I don't feel I'm talkin'
I'm tryin' to spit it best I can atcha
We gonna grab your attention grabbers
That keep you from runnin'

Runnin', lookin' for you said I'm runnin'
Runnin', lookin' for you said I'm runnin'

In desolate times I wrestle at times
Feeling so neglected at times
Rejected at times hard to try to get out my
Mind hold to the soul
Believing that it's gonna be fine
He's in control letting go the walk in the
Know forgetting the how
Strong enough to wait for the
When to weaken the now
Put aside the question of why
This is allowed running to the back of the
Line, looking for mine

Runnin', runnin'
Lookin' for that love I once knew
Runnin', I'm runnin'
Trying to find my way back to you

If dead men tell no tales, how do you account
For the platinum rappers with
Millions of record sales
Then tell me I ain't good
'cuz my record fails
With a standard that's set
To first-quarter sales
The truth shall prevail
If I let you dictate it life would be stale
But, I follow my Lord who's been
Proven with the scars and nails
Everybody busy funnin' number one stunnin'
What else you get from yo mama
Nothin' but heartache from all the runnin'

Runnin', my desire's lead me right to
The very thing that has me
Runnin' back to you runnin', runnin'
Runnin', my desires lead me right to
The very thing that has me
Runnin' back to you runnin', runnin'

Runnin', lookin' for you said I'm runnin'
Runnin', lookin' for you said I'm runnin'
Trying to find my way back to you

Runnin', runnin'
Lookin' for that love I once knew
Runnin', I'm runnin'
Trying to find my way back to you
