MAINO - Runaway Slave lyrics
rate me<br>
Yea <br />
For Zane, my future <br />
<br />
<i>[Hook:]</i><br />
Man I feel like a runaway slave <br />
Can't calm down <br />
Never gon behave <br />
My back to the wind <br />
My spirit in the sky <br />
I'm never giving in <br />
Middle finger up high <br />
And even when I die <br />
Don't shed a tear when I'm laid <br />
I feel like a runaway slave <br />
I said I feel like a runaway slave <br />
Sometimes I feel like a runaway slave <br />
<br />
Listen... <br />
<br />
<i>[Verse 1:]</i><br />
I could die before I get rich never touch a mill <br />
Die before my album drops never sell a mill <br />
Die before I get to see how success feels <br />
Die before any of my dreams are fulfilled <br />
Die before I really start livin out my plans <br />
Die before I see my son grow into a man <br />
Die before my niggas come home from they bids <br />
Die before I truly learn how to really live <br />
Now it feels like I know death <br />
Gotta watch my own steps <br />
<br />
Wonder my niggaz aint around cuz they all left <br />
Pride in the ring contemplating on my own death <br />
Shots fly niggaz tryin to kill my on my doorstep <br />
How they gon remember me? What'll be my legacy? <br />
How they gon talk about me when they pour that hennessy? <br />
That nigga thug, that nigga was a rider <br />
That nigga was one hell of a survivor <br />
Niggaz in the pen with no money for bail <br />
Every nigga on the run tryin to stay up outta jail <br />
I could feel ya... <br />
<br />
Yea I know, hold on and be strong my niggas <br />
<br />
<i>[Hook:]</i><br />
Man I feel like a runaway slave <br />
Can't calm down <br />
Never gon behave <br />
My back to the wind <br />
My spirit in the sky <br />
I'm never giving in <br />
Middle finger up high <br />
And even when I die <br />
Don't shed a tear when I'm laid <br />
I feel like a runaway slave <br />
I said I feel like a runaway slave <br />
Sometimes I feel like a runaway slave <br />
<br />
<i>[Verse 2:]</i><br />
I could die before I bring happiness to my momma <br />
Die before I make peace with my baby momma <br />
Die before I squash all my bullshit drama <br />
Die but don't cry this is death before dishonor <br />
This is my last will and testament <br />
Listen to my testament <br />
Please raise Zane to be a leader and a gentleman <br />
I don't have regrets all the times that I was negligent <br />
Standing in the courtroom fronting like im innocent <br />
Look at how I came up <br />
Duckin undercover men <br />
Friends getting railroaded hung by his government <br />
This is what they made me <br />
Hell is what they gave me <br />
Homies coming home on parole but they ain't free <br />
Look at me, look at life, how im supposed to change huh? <br />
Im feelin like a runaway slave ma <br />
Cant calm down I refuse to be tamed <br />
Standing in these 4 walls banging on the cage <br />
Niggaz on the jail bus handcuffed and chained <br />
When its said and done they gon remember my name <br />
Now mommy in the front row, sittin at my funeral <br />
Everybody cryin', just another death as usual <br />
You feel me? <br />
<br />
<i>[Hook:]</i><br />
Man I feel like a runaway slave <br />
Can't calm down <br />
Never gon behave <br />
My back to the wind <br />
My spirit in the sky <br />
I'm never giving in <br />
Middle finger up high <br />
And even when I die <br />
Don't shed a tear when I'm laid <br />
I feel like a runaway slave <br />
I said I feel like a runaway slave <br />
Sometimes I feel like a runaway slave
<br><br><br><br>
<br>
