Run the Races - Santigold

Hello

What is going on, something strange

Where do I go, it’s coming round to meet me

I’ve gone around the world two times

To find something to save me here

But these days, it seems I’m of a different kind

It may not be safe

But can’t hide from what will come

And it may not be sane

But I’m going out there

It may not be made for me

Lord knows what I will dare to find

But these days

You can’t run from the races

I said who

Told you you could get a piece of my heart

Cuz you see I’m no runaway

So go ahead, I’m gonna give you a head start

I said who

Told you you could get a piece of my heart

Cuz you see I’m no runaway

So go ahead, I’m gonna give you a head start

Hello

I’ve come a long way to find this place

And what it’s come to, build it all on body not faith

Say it’ll be that tie you break

When the hallowed spark will find you

So if I wanna steep up the dream

Gotta take my place out on the line

It may not be safe

But can’t hide from what will come

And it may not be sane

But I’m going out there

It may not be made for me

Lord knows what I will dare to find

But these days

You can’t run from the races

I said who

Told you you could get a piece of my heart

Cuz you see I’m no runaway

So go ahead, I’m gonna give you a head start

I said who

Told you you could get a piece of my heart

Cuz you see I’m no runaway

So go ahead, I’m gonna give you a head start

Steady, don’t ease up

Get in my game

Can you see me now

Lookin both ways

All night, dreamin I’d

Taken the race

Headin' out, do you not see in my face

I’m not playin'

I’m ‘a push it all day

Head down, feet forward

Edge of my faith
