Pip Millett, Ghetts - Running

Running, I’m always out of breath
when I get shit off my chest
Down (Down)
I know what it feels like to be down, down, downRunning, I’m always out of breath
when I get shit off my chest
Down (Down)
I know what it feels like to be down, down, down
I know what it feels like to be
On the East side, caught up in the current
Settled in the smog (Ah-ah)
I’m feelin' pretty foggy 'bout my feelings, 'bout myself
Black and free, I don’t think that’s a thing, no, no
(No, no)
I don’t think that’s a thing, no, no (No, no, no, no)
I don’t think that’s a thing, no, no (No, no, no, no, no)
(No, no, no, no)
No, no
I don’t think that’s a thing, no, no (No, no)
Something we sexualise, fantasise
Do you find it pleasing?
Pullin' on my hair, no, no (No, no)
Grippin' on my skin, no, I don’t (No, I don’t)
Playin' with your pride, no, I don’t (No, I don’t)
My life is not a game, no, I don’t (No, I don’t)
No, no
I don’t think that’s a thing, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no
No
Another Black man lost, worried about what a handbag cost
Well, it cost to be Black
I got a price on my head, that’s not any cap
F-Feds are behind, I feel like I’m wanted, dead or alive
Even after what I have accomplished, nobody said they’ll be kind
Look at my skin, I’m fully akin
Tell me why you wanna put bullets within
Number one suspect 'cause of my colour
If I was another, couldn’t be him
I got the melanin, melanin, melanin
Feds see me and get a rush of adrenaline
What have I got on me? Haven’t got anything
Dad told me from day one, «Just don’t let 'em in»
This time, I still lose
There’s nothing to play with
Will you try to understand this?
Fast, slow down, gotta catch my breath
Gotta make sure that I make it
She’ll tell me that I’m fakin'
She’s lyin', let’s face it
That bitch right there is basic
Not every girl is basic
Not everyone’s a racist
That’s racy, I think you’ll find that phrase is pretty dated
(You're testin' on my patience) You’re testin' on my patience
The way that shit, it weighs me down
Black and free, I don’t think that’s a thing, no, no
(No, no)
I don’t think that’s a thing, no, no (No, no, no, no)
I don’t think that’s a thing, no, no (No, no, no, no, no)
(No, no, no, no)
No, no
I don’t think that’s a thing, no, no (No, no)
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no
