Song Title: Run Album Title: While We Can
Em Intro: (A little bit, over a long time, Goes a long way) x 4
So we run, breathe
Show up, squeeze,
Push through, Believe
Release, repeat x 2
HOOK: One foot two foot right then the other gotta run
See no excuses just up and do it gotta run
Calm keep loose cuz the world keeps moving gotta run
Clean slate starts with the sun, every day is day one So we run It’s been a minute since I sprinted
Out the womb day one until the finish
I’m plant based so I’m way beyond spinach
Watching what I eat so I know what’s in it (uh) Too many focus on image Instead of cleaning up what’s underneath where all your skin is
Footwork is the key
That’s why I’m moving my feet, It’s why I’m running with speed and so
HOOK: One foot two foot right then the other gotta run
See no excuses just up and do it gotta run
Marv Verse 2:
I lit the candle on both ends about 10, maybe 20 years ago, and ever since I’ve been on the (RUN) Underwater dream catcher taking pictures of the shadows from the
Light in the snow on the (RUN) Not walk, not crawl, not skip
choosing quick, every path that I took on the (RUN) Uphill way down with my conscience in tow
and a broken big toe on the (RUN) To a finish that I haven’t seen With the goal in mind to live amongst the finer things (RUN)
Enough to satisfy the prophecy
Of full potential truly finally ever meeting me (RUN)
Into the storm if what you want is there, Until the wind is whistling your theme song in your ear (RUN) Against the grain despite the pain you’ll cause
Muscles tear but they’ll repair from the good it caused
HOOK: One foot two foot right then the other gotta run
See no excuses just up and do it gotta run
Calm keep loose cuz the world keeps moving gotta run
Clean slate starts with the sun, every day is day one So we run Marv Verse 3: To justify the means To study formulas to multiply the cream so its (YUM) We run to fortify the team Cuz there’s way more to life than only what it seems (RUN) With scissors cuz I wanna cut the strings And make collages out of wired magazines
That explain what I’ve seen inside of my lucid dreams so I (RUN) In hunt of creative things (RUN) Over the coals when the pit is hot
Living off the logic that I learned from watching Spok Set a pace, Set a goal, make it real, or make it not when you (RUN) Push it to your limit, full Guat,
And do work like the state of the earth is on your mind
(And the sun) ceases to bless you with its shine
(And the moon) signals the start of a long night
It’s just you and your feet, till your life is complete and so HOOK: One foot two foot right then the other gotta run
See no excuses just up and do it gotta run
Calm keep loose cuz the world keeps moving gotta run
Clean slate starts with the sun, every day is day one
