Runnin' - Kelis, Machinedrum

I became a runner

Like a river through your fingers

No one’s catching me

We’ll count one victory

Best out of the three

I became a runner

So they couldn’t say she’ll never fly

She don’t have wings

I didn’t need them

Cause you would push the swing

I became a runner

To escape the fame

I still don’t wanna play

A lion will never change

I became a runner

But I’m not afraid

Probably a big mistake

I never liked the cage

How can I forget you?

You’re never late, you’re always right there at my rescue

How could I reject you?

You are my cave that keeps me safe, you are my refuge

I became a runner

Like the words you didn’t stutter

Right before the jab

That’s not what you meant

Now you lost friend

I became a runner

Like the dream that pulled you under

Just before the day

Sure, that’s all that’s left

Better than regret

I became a runner

Need a shoe built to last

So I can speed by the past

And never face the facts

I became a runner

Oh I, I became a runner

Oh I, I became a runner

Oh I, I became a runner

How can I forget you?

You’re never late, you’re always right there at my rescue

How could I reject you?

You are my cave that keeps me safe, you are my refuge

Fear beats me to the punch

And my heart would know

So I begin to run

So fast, and I don’t feel my feet

I’m going in circles

And I can’t seem to reach your hand

How can I forget you?

You’re never late, you’re always right there at my rescue

How could I reject you?

You are my cave that keeps me safe, you are my refuge

How can I forget you?

You’re never late, you’re always right there at my rescue

How could I reject you?

You are my cave that keeps me safe, you are my refuge
