[Intro: Daveed Diggs & Rafael Casal and Daveed Diggs]
I can hear you comin’, but you never gonna catch me
I’ve been fast since I was born and movin’ ever since to get it
I’mma…
Ha, shit!
Diggs in the buildin’, Rad on the beat
Getback productions in full effect, baby
Oakland to the fullest, Bay Area all day
Rafa, stand up, boy! Lets get ‘em!
Come on!
[Verse 1: Daveed Diggs]
8 A.M. or there abouts, the bill collectors callin’
I recognize they numbers ‘cause they ring my phone so often
I laugh and then ignore ‘em ‘cause Daveed they are not stoppin’
I ain’t got nothin’ for them, there’s no reason for they squawkin’
I’m already runnin’, I ain’t never heard of walkin’
Runnin’ at the mouth, my nigga, what the fuck is talkin’?
Runnin’ game so fast, these chickens ain't got time for cluckin’
If I’mma run the world, then running down is not an option
Puttin’ pieces in place, haters say “Somebody stop him”
Plenty beats to be laced, you need lyrics, then I got ‘em
They say money’s the motivator, I never fought ‘em
But money’s everywhere, I’m lookin’ for somethin’ less common
I am a commodity and I am running out
This auction is not silent, what the fuck you talkin’ ‘bout?
Get your bid in quickly, I can’t hear you, better shout
I’m spendin’ no more time boxin’ my shadow of a doubt (Shit)
Go
[Chorus: Daveed Diggs & Rafael Casal and Daveed Diggs]
I can hear you comin’, but you never gonna catch me
I’ve been fast since I was born and movin’ ever since to get it
I’mma pick it up (Run), get it gone (Run)
Hands up high (Run), this my song (Run)
Tongue on fire (Run), spit [?] (Run)
[?] don’t lie (Run), put me on (Run)
Catch me if you can, but I’mma always do it movin’
If you figure it’s worth gettin’, then I guess it’s worth pursuin’
Better pick it up (Run), move it out (Run)
Get it if you know what I’m talkin’ ‘bout (Run, run)
Maybe [?] walk it out (Run, run)
Scared to be the only one the monster [?] (Run, run)
[Verse 2: Daveed Diggs]
Ready, set, I’m often on while most are fallin’ off and on
The mantra and the [?]
[?] just like the Parthenon
Pardon my Athena, but I think I’m wise as fuck
And the only thing I’ve learned that helps is “Don’t ever get stuck”
The mud is thick, they throwin’ shit like monkeys in the zoo
A mani’ mothafucka, yeah, I act the monkey foo’
Pettin’ pussy like Coco and throwin’ signs up too
For you to recognize my hood and back up off me like I’m cool
Better stay that way, around here, [?] the day
Today is the chamber, hey, but you the one up in my way, okay
I say, I say that fog horn in the Bay show you the way
Don’t play them rocks is sharp, that water’s dark, I suggest you run away
Maybe get your hater-ade, I know you feelin’ thirsty
Mix it with that Tanqueray, relax ‘cause you can’t hurt me
I know that you thinkin’ you in the race, but you ain’t, so you might as well halt
I’m slowin’ at the finish lines, just call me Usain Bolt (Shit)
Shit
[Chorus: Daveed Diggs & Rafael Casal and Daveed Diggs]
I can hear you comin’, but you never gonna catch me
I’ve been fast since I was born and movin’ ever since to get it
I’mma pick it up (Run), get it gone (Run)
Hands up high (Run), this my song (Run)
Tongue on fire (Run), spit [?] (Run)
[?] don’t lie (Run), put me on (Run)
Catch me if you can, but I’mma always do it movin’
If you figure it’s worth gettin’, then I guess it’s worth pursuin’
Better pick it up (Run), move it out (Run)
Get it if you know what I’m talkin’ ‘bout (Run, run)
Maybe [?] walk it out (Run, run)
Scared to be the only one the monster [?] (Run, run)
[Verse 3: Rafael Casal]
2 A.M., these runners textin’, but I’m not respondin’
I’m not as nothin’, I got somethin’ comin’ more uncommon
So come into this Gotham, catch these riddles and these jokers
Get the fiddle, hit the function, hum us that song, and I got ‘em
So run run run, come one, cometh all, chim-chim-chim, Beverly pop ’em
God, I pop right out the top and I sweep these chimneys to the bottom
While you choke down that THC, I MP3 my options
Then I spark one to remind you I Sher-lock you in as Watson
[?] animated, ain’t no sketch, I am the Mona
My poker face is stronger than the watered down Enola
A linoleum floor sure ain’t the only thing worth breaking
I ransacked the game, [?], you're awakening from a coma
I’m quite the cobra, I would choke a G.I., [?]
Found a thimble under which I try to never land my art
But my art is never landing on the place in which it starts
May feel safe by day, but soon you’ll become praying, shit gets dark, bitch
[Chorus: Daveed Diggs & Rafael Casal and Daveed Diggs]
I can hear you comin’, but you never gonna catch me
I’ve been fast since I was born and movin’ ever since to get it
I’mma pick it up (Run), get it gone (Run)
Hands up high (Run), this my song (Run)
Tongue on fire (Run), spit [?] (Run)
[?] don’t lie (Run), put me on (Run)
Catch me if you can, but I’mma always do it movin’
If you figure it’s worth gettin’, then I guess it’s worth pursuin’
Better pick it up (Run), move it out (Run)
Get it if you know what I’m talkin’ ‘bout (Run, run)
Maybe [?] walk it out (Run, run)
Scared to be the only one the monster [?] (Run, run)
[Outro]
Run
Run
Run
Run
