about
Rhyme & Reason:
This record is probably one of my favorites on the album. I prefer the moody, dark, emotional records and this track has all of that. Listening to the beat, it has a bridge, hook & then verse selection. The Hook is very high energy and then the bridge isn't melodic and it has the breathing sample on it. So it just felt like as the verse is explaining my story of running away from my problems towards better days, I stop during the bridge to reflect and catch my breathe. The hook drops back in and I'm back runnin. I thought it was very creative concept and not like anything I've done or heard before.
lyrics
Hook:
I'm running, yeah, 100 miles & runnin
And I'ma keep runnin, keep looking for freedom for as long as I'm breathing
Don't ask me why, close ya eyes, help me reach for the sky
I'm running, yeah, 100 miles & runnin
And I'ma keep runnin, keep looking for freedom for as long as I'm breathing
Until the day I die, do what I got to to survive, I'm runnin
Verse One:
Yeah, 100 miles & runnin and I'ma keep runnin, keep looking for freedom
For as long as I'm breathing, give me one reason
I'm ready to snap, ready to act a damn fool
Fuck be cool, I'ma be myself
100 miles & runnin, I'ma tighten my belt
Chasing success, but I'm running out of breath
Blessed with a burden, stressed and it's hurting
If I was meant to fail, hell what is life worth then?
That is the question, what is the answer to life?
Hoes tryin to be my wife
Can't turn my back to them get exposed to a knife
Been trying to get close to Christ
God set me down said the time ain't right, alright
Man life is so hard
Prisoner of my own mind trying to escape this yard ya'll, I'm running
Hook:
I'm running, yeah, 100 miles & runnin
And I'ma keep runnin, keep looking for freedom for as long as I'm breathing
Don't ask me why, close ya eyes, help me reach for the sky
I'm running, yeah, 100 miles & runnin
And I'ma keep runnin, keep looking for freedom for as long as I'm breathing
Until the day I die, do what I got to to survive, I'm runnin
Verse Two:
Yeah, 100 miles & runnin and a nigga still runnin
Still looking for freedom, for as long as I'm breathing
Still dodging demons in my sleep, feeling weak, trying to catch the beat
Depressed, my life is a mess,
Everyday go to war, my faith is my vest
Is this a test?, cuz everyday it get's worse
Trying to put it in a verse and then turn it to a song
But can they feel my pain or am I just wrong?
Trying to keep the lights on without committing a crime
But niggas is blind
Cuz if the song ain't bout a hoe or slanging crack, they ain't got the time
Trying to speak from the soul, cuz the devil got a hold
Feels like I'm losing control, the testimony of a lost soul
Just trying to find a way, trying to get through the day
And when I reach the pearly gates, I'm running
Hook:
I'm running, yeah, 100 miles & runnin
And I'ma keep runnin, keep looking for freedom for as long as I'm breathing
Don't ask me why, close ya eyes, help me reach for the sky
I'm running, yeah, 100 miles & runnin
And I'ma keep runnin, keep looking for freedom for as long as I'm breathing
Until the day I die, do what I got to to survive, I'm runnin
