Runaway Lyrics by Lamar Jr.

Taken for Granted

2017

[intro]
I just got to get
A couple things off my chest
And since your here
I'm like why not

[Verse 1: Lamar Jr.]
I need to get away from what people say
It's hurting me just like a disease
I won't let it free
I won't let it be
But no one could
Because there still a smile on me
And you really can't see
What's inside of me
But I try to make
What I make
Everlasting
Never grasping
What could happen
When you do what you do
But you still get capped in the back
Since they get paid for that
Then no one does jack
But you would be mad about that
But with all these problems
No ones stopping
Just need to get away
Get away
Yeah

[chrous]
All I want to do is run away
From the pain inside me
All I want to do is run away
Yeah
All I want to do is run away
From the pain inside me
All I want to do is run away

[Verse 2: Lamar Jr.]
I'm like and animal
People eating each other
Just like Hannibal
But it's understandable
They have to survive or die
In the life we made
There is no middle ground
We know the choices that must be made
We behave
The way we do because
We must be saved
Or at least runaway
From what's in front of me
Because we should be ashamed
That smart people
Were doing the dumbest things
Our world is gonna change
At least not insanely fast
Because our brain be mad
From all the things they want to do

[Bridge]
That's why I just need to
Runaway
Yeah

[chrous]
All I want to do is run away
From the pain inside me
All I want to do is run away
Yeah
All I want to do is run away
From the pain inside me
All I want to do is run away

[outro]
Runaway
Runaway
All I want to do is run away
Runaway
Runaway
All I want to do is run away
Feel my heart dying
See people crying
Runaway
Runway
All I want to do is
Runaway
