like a marathon

he said all i know is mad start

and when the gun go off

he turns black heart

cause when the runnin is on

we all track stars

you either runnin along or you a past mark

so either run with it forward or play the past part

there's no rides for the weary or weak

it's so quiet you can hear when you sleep

but so live you can clear in a week

with no ties

no ears to the street

no thrones

no homes

nothin on

nothin promised outside

so what you hearin is cheap

they say we all in this together

but somethin gotta give or somebody gotta give 'til all of this get better

if all of this is forever and the goal is to change

then you can't upset if we should go with our aim

and you can't see regrets if you controllin your lane

put your hand on your heart and you solemnly swear to get it

driver seat

right side or rear

you with it

cause shit is wicked on these mean streets

but where the green be is where we tryin to stand

so we need reach

dirty 'round here

so we need cleats

lace up now

i see you runnin

somethin like a marathon

keep runnin

somethin like a marathon

i see you runnin

somethin like a marathon

keep runnin

somethin like a marathon

keep runnin

somethin like a marathon

huh

cause they can only catch you if you let 'em

so get your marathon on when you steppin

cause they can only catch you if you let 'em

so get your marathon on when you steppin

get your marathon on when you steppin

every step taken is a step gained

or a step lost

dependin on how your step change

when you step on

there's no returns or step aways

either step cross or fall out of the step game

shit is transparent tryin to find where the step's made

if i can't bare it

i'm a die where the step's raised

and i can't hear when they cry

i'm at a step's pace

cause for the love of everything that we saw

everything that we want is everything that keep us sprintin along

and the soles on your kicks turn as thin as the walls

so it's one knee down

both hands on the ground

when the six shot blows

all hands in the crowd

turn parallel to you but the hands in the crowd

were really just a mirage

ain't a stander around

some look for god

some can't find a cloud

so they take it to the store where handlin is allowed

the money starts grownin as quick as the time change

start countin your steps

the line is five away

four left so you ease up with it like i'm straight"
