Runnin’ Lyrics by David Dallas

Falling Into Place

2013

[Intro]
I got a new world in my view
Lord, my journey, I pursue
I said, I'm runnin', runnin' for the city
I got the new world in my view
I got the new world in my view
Oh, my journey, I pursue
Lord, I'm runnin', runnin' for the city
I got the new world in my view

[Verse 1]
They ain't got no
Muscle, no hustle, no backbone, I stand alone
Not trippin', just sayin', I'm different, ain't hangin' onto the
Coattails of the next man, passport in my left hand
Thinkin' that you got next, heck, hope you ain't holdin' your breath, man
'Cause I'm out here, I'm hungry, I don't play around, trust me
Ain't had this much drive since my Honda Civic got rusty
And my girl said that she loved me, it's funny, just thinkin' back
Study hard for that nine-to-five, like I thought I'd actually good with that
I was dreamin', still dreamin', spotlight on me like Willie Beaman
Still performin' like Al Pacino, Instagrammin' tuxedos
With my peoples, we growin' up, still don't seem like we slowin' up
Tint Squad, we throwin' up every time that we showin' up

[Chorus]
Get it while I'm livin', all I ever hear's the clock
Tick, tick, tickin', so I'm 'bout my business
And I'm runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' with it now
They don’t wanna give it up, we gon' make it ours
Gotta get it while I'm livin', all I ever hear's the clock
Tick, tick, tickin', so I'm 'bout my business
And I'm runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' with it now (Yeah)
They don’t wanna give it up, we gon' make it ours (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2]
It don't get no greater, feel like I'm on fire
Feel like I'm Johnny Storm, feel like I'm volatile
Explosive, get close enough, you'll notice your girl act outta
Character when she see me approachin', ain't poachin'
I'm just sayin', it's nothin', you punchin' above your weight
I'm somethin' she ain't seen, no substitutin' the A-team
That's B. A. Baracus, that BS, that wackness
Get no play in my axis, make 'em jump like A. J. Hackett
Guarantee you, in these boots, they couldn't walk one mile
Really need to go and hang it up like a drunk dial
So behind the times, they should probably rock a sundial
Shatterin' their dreams, I could make Big Pun smile
Music from the soul, don't need them to help me
If they fiendin' for the flash, they should take another selfie
Said I'm runnin', I'm runnin' like Mo Farah, so dapper
Swear the whole world could go against me, it don't matter, man

[Chorus]
Get it while I'm livin', all I ever hear's the clock
Tick, tick, tickin', so I'm 'bout my business
And I'm runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' with it now
They don’t wanna give it up, we gon' make it ours
Gotta get it while I'm livin', all I ever hear's the clock
Tick, tick, tickin', so I'm 'bout my business
And I'm runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' with it now
They don’t wanna give it up, we gon' make it ours

[Bridge]
I'm on a chase
Won't wait another day
Plans falling into place
And we ain't got much to lose
I'm on a chase
Won't wait another day
Plans falling into place
And we ain't got much to lose

[Chorus]
Get it while I'm livin', all I ever hear's the clock
Tick, tick, tickin', so I'm 'bout my business
And I'm runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' with it now
They don’t wanna give it up, we gon' make it ours
Gotta get it while I'm livin', all I ever hear's the clock
Tick, tick, tickin', so I'm 'bout my business
And I'm runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' with it now
They don’t wanna give it up, we gon' make it ours
