I've been running on empty
I've been running on hope
I've been running towards goals
I've been running just to cope
I've been running on empty
I've been running on hope
I've been running towards goals
I've been running just to cope
Looking at the rap game I wonder if its pay to play
If you get on quick then you're liable to fade away
Mr reliable I'm focused on the day-to-day
And you know what? I think I'll always stay this way
And you know what? I've been this way since a youth
Always ten steps ahead even when I'm in the booth
You out picking apples and you thinking about the fruit
Me I'm out about picking apples and I'm thinking about the juice
Chasing down these goals like a labrador
In the lab at 4, I'm chasing what you hoping for
Cause a lotta rappers should swap partying for rapping more
But you keep doing you cause you're leaving me an open door
Been running I've been running
I've been running I've been running
I've been running I've been running
I've been running I've been running
I've been running on empty
I've been running on hope
I've been running towards goals
I've been running just to cope
I've been running on empty
I've been running on hope
I've been running towards goals
I've been running just to cope
Lined up for the steeplechase I wanna reach the masses
In a home studio call me Homer with classics
Work ethic matches my ambition so I practice
Fliping sampling daily like I'm doing gymnastics
Some biles backflip
This the flow that it's
Light a fire that's lits
Nobody can match this
Me against me until the end of time
Like a high school dance I'm just trying to grind
Holding onto that feeling that I had when I was young
Every day I chased the passion didn't matter if I won
Ever notice little kids they always on a run
So wrapped up in the present that they always having fun
Been running I've been running
I've been running I've been running
I've been running I've been running
I've been running I've been running
I've been running on empty
I've been running on hope
I've been running towards goals
I've been running just to cope
I've been running on empty
I've been running on hope
I've been running towards goals
I've been running just to cope
