Paper Chasin’ Lyrics by Farhaan Abdul

2015

[Chorus]
I just wanna.....
Pull up in that 'rari; cop a new mercedes
Tell my mom "I'm sorry", look what happened to your baby
Now I'm ru-
Runnin' away, I'm runnin' away from home...[x2]
Focused on the cash; I know it doesn't last
But it's just a distraction, don't wanna think about the past
So I'm ru-
Runnin' away, I'm runnin' away from home....[x2]
[Verse 1]
Got me thinkin' 'bout my past life
Don't know how but I remember it like it was last night
How could she just backbite? Askin' me to hold hands
Bringing me to slow dance, seduce me with that romance
Now that I'm a grown man; gotta be responsible
Hard to pay the bills when, all I got's a pocket full of love
At the hospital, the doctor pulled the plug
Cause I couldn't pay for drugs, lookin' down from up above
Like "Damn..."; wishin' I could press rewind
Relive a couple moments for the second time
Pick up all the pieces that were left behind
Then I think about the cheese and I'm like never, mind....
Time; my only enemy, sometimes I feel like I'm just wastin' memory
Why should I remember you? You 'prolly don't remember me
But that was elementary, and now I got the tendency to
[Chorus]
Pull up in that 'rari; cop a new mercedes
Tell my mom "I'm sorry", look what happened to your baby
Now I'm ru-
Runnin' away, I'm runnin' away from home...[x2]
Focused on the cash; I know it doesn't last
But it's just a distraction, don't wanna think about the past
So I'm ru-
Runnin' away, I'm runnin' away from home....[x2]
[Verse 2]
And I've been havin' flashbacks
Remember when I was that little kid who had that backpack
How can I move past that? Every time I close my eyes
Visions of my past, will forever be immortalized
I was movin' t'wards the skies....it was my birthright
Have you ever seen a baby bird take its first flight?
Risin' like a phoenix, they was told that I would burn bright
So they stole my light, I feel like Jesus in the church like
"Damn...."; how was I too blind to see
I ain't the one they idolized in society
They ain't lookin' at the things thats inside of me
They just lookin' at the chains, and the diamond, piece....
Free; from a slave, I've become a master, havin' mad discussions with my pastor
Tellin' me I'm just a rapper, fuck the covers and the chapters
Judgin' me not by my pages, but the things I'm runnin' after
Trynna'
[Chorus]
Pull up in that 'rari; cop a new mercedes
Tell my mom "I'm sorry", look what happened to your baby
Now I'm ru-
Runnin' away, I'm runnin' away from home...[x2]
Focused on the cash; I know it doesn't last
But it's just a distraction, don't wanna think about the past
So I'm ru-
Runnin' away, I'm runnin' away from home....[x2]
