Runnin' - Pharrell Williams

Don’t act like you was there when you wasn’t

Runnin' toward our plans (plans) in the judge’s hands (hands)

Don’t act like you was there when you wasn’t

I know they say you crawl 'fore you walk

But in my mind I already jog

If I stand still I cannot get far

They want the Moon, I’m on Mars

Sometime my mind dives deep

When I’m runnin'

I don’t want no free ride

I’m just sick and tired of runnin'

Some nights I cry

Cause I can see the day comin'

Together we’ll fight

Oh, but no more runnin'

You and I are not different from each other (other)

Shut our eyes, when we slumber I see numbers (numbers)

Black and white, we’re computers, I ain’t colored (colored)

Don’t act like you was there when you wasn’t

From runnin' to exams (exams) two jobs for a man (man)

Don’t act like you was there when you wasn’t

In the law of the land (land) the women were often banned (banned)

Don’t act like you was there when you wasn’t

I know they say you crawl 'fore you walk

But in my mind I already jog

If I stand still I cannot get far

They want the Moon, I’m on Mars

Sometime my mind dives deep

When I’m runnin'

I don’t want no free ride

I’m just sick and tired of runnin'

Some nights I cry

Cause I can see the day comin'

Together we fight

Oh, but no more runnin'

I know they say you crawl 'fore you walk

But in my mind I already jog

If I stand still I cannot get far

They want the Moon, I’m on Mars

Sometime my mind dives deep

When I’m runnin'

I don’t want no free ride

I’m just sick and tired of runnin'

Some nights I cry

Cause I can see the day comin'

Together we fight

Oh, but no more runnin'
