Lyrics

Now I done been a lot of places
Seen a lot of things
And on the movie set of life
I had a lot of scenes
Growing up in the Chi
I saw a lot of fiends
And even though
The dough was low
I had a lot of dreams
You see I had vision
But didn't have a guide
Ridin in my Chevy
With a pistol sittin by my side
Living by the hustle
I lost track of time
But found a pen and paper
And now I hustle rhymes

I've spent a long time runnin
Hard to survive
When you ain't got nothing
It's been a long time coming
But now I'm gonna make a change
Got, got, got to make some changes
Got, got, got to make some changes
Got, got, got to make some changes
Changes

This little light of mine
I've gotta let it show
Life can get hard at times
Still gotta strike a blow
New revolutionary
But I ain't got the fro
People that I have to carry
Wonder who I'm fightin for
I fight for Dr. King
I fight for Rosa Parks
I fight for Malcolm X
I fight for Farrakhan
I fight for former slaves
For those who are denied
I'm fightin for the people
Who struggle to survive

CHORUS

Run, run, run, yo
Fast as you can, Joe
Running from the bill collector
Running from the po-po
You can run a marathon
Maybe you be running slow
When you think it's safe to walk
Then you gotta run some mo'
Sometimes I gotta run
I'm trying not to lose
Gotta stay prepared
So I'm lacing up my track shoes
I'm taking big strides
I'm trying to beat my time
Mark, set, ready, go!
I'm running to the finish line

CHORUS
