Engine Running Lyrics by James Roan

Power Forward

2021

Intro


Yo uh yo yo
Uh power forward
Power power power forward
Yeah power forward



Verse 1


I can be minding my business tryna survive comfortably
But all the hate it still comes to me
And I be up late night straight tight tryna conquer beats
But all the hate it still comes to me
Kicking it up a notch, I’m picking all your rocks
That you threw at me, I’m too happy
I must expose foes, never lose badly I’m too savvy huh
When will you niggas really understand
I’m thunder man, I run the land



Hook


As long as my engine running
And yeah you know the kid is coming
I promise we can get into somethin’
Yo as long as my engine running
And yeah you know the kid is coming
I promise we can get into somethin’
Yo as long as my engine running
And yeah you know the kid is coming
I promise we can get into somethin’
As long as my engine running
And yeah you know the kid is coming
I promise we can get into somethin’ we can get into somethin’


Verse 2


Yo I’m about to overshine
While you robbing doing colder crimes
Still putting in overtime
Balanced my foot is below the lines
I hold your mind and go behind
The closer shrine the bolder kind
Mold to find I told you why
I’m suppose to thrive we won’t decide what’s next
And I don’t really care about the naysayers
Cause they stay faker
Than everything that’s on your face make-up
I may shake up the place say what
They can’t stay touched, disgrace playa
Keep it smooth like layups
All high-flow this is all I know
You ain’t working like I’m working
Still these labels might go and try folks
Who be spitting all terrific pyro
Fireworks setting fires, but the lambo’s be they best desire
Them the niggas that try to prove they thire the best for hire
Instead they letting go of the ones that really breathe this shit
Go free and shit
I’m sick of dope niggas getting no figures
But no more cause this hope is in us stay afloat niggas huh




Hook


As long as my engine running
And yeah you know the kid is coming
I promise we can get into somethin’
Yo as long as my engine running
And yeah you know the kid is coming
I promise we can get into somethin’
Yo as long as my engine running
And yeah you know the kid is coming
I promise we can get into somethin’
As long as my engine running
And yeah you know the kid is coming
I promise we can get into somethin’ we can get into somethin’

Verse 3


Yo I ain’t got time for your games played in different ways
I ain’t got time for that phase made to get upstaged
I’m pushing through regardless what they put me through
My mindset is pyrex my dialect is miles stretched
Above the music that you niggas making
Still be patient, demonstrations really laced with
Confined rhymes humble chill be patient
Having conversations with my soul body and spirit
It's the clearest difference I just got the gift I’m fearless
On the newest mission all poetic still commence the sentence
Nevermind I high shit I’m lying yo
No joints in my system no weed I still dismiss em
Tendencies not to forgive em
Double C’s counting commission uh
No indication of sadness, I‘m on some mad shit
I’m glad it's solely dependent on my passion
The emcee about to overflow
Hacking your shit system overload
I told you so



Hook


As long as my engine running
And yeah you know the kid is coming
I promise we can get into somethin’
Yo as long as my engine running
And yeah you know the kid is coming
I promise we can get into somethin’
Yo as long as my engine running
And yeah you know the kid is coming
I promise we can get into somethin’
As long as my engine running
And yeah you know the kid is coming
I promise we can get into somethin’ we can get into somethin’




Outro


As long as my engine running
Kid is coming I promise I promise
As long as my engine running
Kid is coming I promise I promise
As long as my engine running
Kid is coming I promise I promise
As long as my engine running
Kid is coming I promise I promise aye
