[Intro: Dave Chappelle & Killer Mike]
Mike, the one thing about being a nigga in America, it's like storming the beach in Normandy
A guy gets popped, another guy goes, another guy falls
You just gotta keep going, gotta keep storming that beach, nigga, you gotta keep runnin’
Ain't no rhyme or reason why it's not you on the ground, but as long as it’s not, you better keep your feet underneath you
Keep 'em movin'
Ain't no time to be scared
But even if you are, what fuckin' different does it make?
Run, nigga, keep going
You're just as heroic as those people that stormed the beach
So what's the excuse? I'm not good enough, I did something wrong, I’m not perfect
Nobody asked anyone to be perfect, we just asking people to be honest
You’re a leader, lead
Don't be afraid, we got your back like the motherfuckin’ Verizon man
Run
God don't like ugly, I ain't one to judge
Whole, whole lot of gold Cubans, weigh a ton
Say I kept it solid when it's all said and done
[Chorus: Killer Mike]
All I know is keep goin’, run, better run (Run)
Mama told me, "Never fold, run, better run" (Run)
Like Jenny told Forrest Gump, "Run, better run" (Run)
The race for freedom ain't won, run, better run
[Verse 1: Killer Mike]
Had to make it out the red clay, run, better run
The west side of Atlanta, yeah, that's where I'm from (Flatland)
Outside, I was hands on like a glove (Like Batman)
Movin' like my nigga N.O.R.E., eatin' on the run (Run)
Still an underground king and that's word to Bun (Bun)
Locked in like Rice Street without a bond (Bond)
I was playin' with the powder way before LeBron (LeBron)
My wife was born a redhead, but now she a blonde (Blonde)
Politicians lie and your favorite rapper is a con (Con)
Don't check for me without a check for me, that's a hun' (Bluest)
Only L's I wear is followed by Vuitton (Louis)
Get money and the power, teach 'em while they're young
Hmm, blessed to make it out the slums, run, better run (Run)
