Like a Marathon

He said all I know is mad start
 And when the gun go off, he turns black heart
 Cause when the runnin is on, we all track stars
 You either runnin along or you a past mark
 So either run with it forward or play the past part
 There's no rides for the weary or weak
 It's so quiet you can hear when you sleep
 But so live you can clear in a week
 With no ties, no ears to the street
 No thrones, no homes, nothin on
 Nothin promised outside
 so what you hearin is cheap
 They say we all in this together
 But somethin gotta give or somebody gotta give 'til all of this get better
 If all of this is forever and the goal is to change
 Then you can't upset if we should go with our aim
 And you can't see regrets if you controllin your lane
 Put your hand on your heart and you solemnly swear to get it
 Driver seat, right side or rear, you with it
 Cause shit is wicked on these mean streets
 But where the green be is where we tryin to stand,
 Dirty 'round here, so we need cleats, lace up now
 I see you runnin, somethin like a marathon
 Keep runnin, somethin like a marathon
 I see you runnin, somethin like a marathon
 Keep runnin, somethin like a marathon
 Keep runnin, somethin like a marathon
 Huh, cause they can only catch you if you let 'em (if you let 'em)
 So get your marathon on when you steppin (when you steppin)
 Cause they can only catch you if you let 'em (if you let 'em)
 So get your marathon on when you steppin (when you steppin)
 Get your marathon on when you steppin (when you steppin)
 Every step taken is a step gained
 Or a step lost, dependin on how your step change
 When you step on, there's no returns or step aways
 Either step cross or fall out of
 the step game
 Shit is transparent tryin to find where the step's made
 If I can't bare it, I'm a die where the step's raised
 And I can't hear when they cry, I'm at a step's pace
 Cause for the love of everything that we saw
 Everything that we want is everything that keep us sprintin along
 And the soles on your kicks turn as thin as the walls
 So it's one knee down, both hands on the ground
 When the six shot blows, all hands in the crowd
 Turn parallel to you but the hands in the crowd
 Were really just a mirage, ain't a stander around
 Some look for God, some can't find a cloud
 So they take it to the store where handlin is allowed
 The money starts grownin as quick as the time change
 Start countin your steps, the line is five away
 Four left so you ease up with it like "I'm straight"
 You approach the third and they throw you a curve
 And everything that you predicted is gone with the words (*echo*)
 Keep runnin, somethin like a marathon
 I see you runnin, somethin like a marathon
 Keep runnin, somethin like a marathon
 Keep runnin, somethin like a marathon
 Huh, cause they can only catch you if you let 'em (if you let 'em)
 So get your marathon on when you steppin (when you steppin)
 Cause they can only catch you if you let 'em (if you let 'em)
 So get your marathon on when you steppin (when you steppin)
 Get your marathon on when you steppin (when you steppin)
 You approach the third and they throw you a curve
 And everything that you predicted is gone with the words
 You approach the third and they throw you a curve
 And everything that you predicted is gone with the words
 Everything that you predicted is gone with the words, huh
