Thad Reid - Move On lyrics

rate me

I can’t run, I can’t hide

It don’t matter how hard I try

To move on

I spent years in my neighborhood figuring out

While my mom said get your yellow ass in the house

All my friends up the street, they running they mouth

It’s just another indication of a boy in the south

Saw things and did thing that I wasn’t ‘possed to

Still, I was on the right path, I was hopeful

Church Sundays, I would hear my momma vocals

And break down for the many things that she go through

But that’s how it was and not how it is

I look at kids now when they seem out of it

I try to put my best foot right in front of it

But you can’t save everyone, that’s a negative

So I keep going on and on

Like Erykah Badu so I write this song

And I’m trying to find you, you need this song

You can’t move when the bridge is gone

Sometimes I think

I can’t run, I can’t hide

It don’t matter

I can’t run, I can’t hide

It don’t matter

Slow down, son, you killing them

I can’t run, I can’t hide

It don’t matter how hard I try

To move on

Racism and sexism, all the same thing

Discrimination is evident, I’m looking for a change

And change is gonna come, do I really wanna wait

And do my own thing, do I really wanna chase the American dream

A parent of three, big car, big house under various trees

Do I want the spotlight, people staring at me

Looking for a true love just to share with me

It’s just a hole in the cypher, smoking pipers

They do it ‘cause they love it but in time they bite dust

You tryna stand out but they may not like us

I like you, one God judge the righteous

And if you know that, then a mass attack

Is avoided and your personality is intact

Tryna run but can’t hide, the pride is alive

And it’s up to you to decide

Sometimes I think

I can’t run, I can’t hide

It don’t matter

I can’t run, I can’t hide

It don’t matter

Slow down, son, you killing them

I can’t run, I can’t hide

It don’t matter how hard I try

To move on

And I try to move on like CC

Some try to move up like D3

Everybody tryna say something, there, you can stay up in here

Get a job, get a different career

You been spitting for a while, you been spitting for years

Put your pedal to the medal, time to get it again

I was taught from a little kid please don’t give it up

And calls from the grad school looking to pick it up

Did a little bit of traveling, did some battling

I had a couple girls graduated from medicine

I went through a tough time, RIP

To my man who was lost young, my nigga D

And I took it kinda hard but I made it through

Since then I been looking for excuses, too

Take another route but I know my path is chosen

We gotta move on, time never is frozen

Blue collar

I can’t run, I can’t hide

It don’t matter

I can’t run, I can’t hide

It don’t matter

Slow down, son, you killing them

I can’t run, I can’t hide

It don’t matter how hard I try

To move on
