Lyrics

The big Fat Man, he's coming
 So take to your heels, get running
 He'll Bleed you dry, leave you to die
 And it's not yours to ask why
 So just run and be aware
 And don't you get caught in the snare
 In the trap
 Because he's holding you back
 You know the Fat Man
 Has got you on the crack
 You can't move, screwed down
 Real hard, with your face to the ground
 Keeping You in the place that you came from
 While the Fat Man spends your money on bombs
 And you, you're the same
 No matter what you do or what your name
 Because the rich are getting richer
 The poor destitute
 Whilst the Fat Man he's got your loot
 So keep running
 So hold your home ground
 Just run the Fat Man around
 But keep your distance and keep your cool
 Because the man at the top he is no fool
 So check it out, get deep
 Stay fresh, stay upon your feet
 Get on the case, if there's a case to get on
 Because tomorrow will come
 And the case will be gone
 Take and give, give and take
 The rules that they make must sound fake
 They'll give you a little and take a lot
 So take what you can whilst the going is hot
 In the jungle of brick and stone
 Where the man with the money has the throne
 Where things go on dare I speak of
 Where the living is hard
 And the going is tough
 So keep running
 Spending to much of my precious time
 Staying one step ahead of the Fat Man
 Staying one step ahead of the Fat Man
 So check what I'm saying
 Cos this is the word
 I'm not playing
 I'm not on the mic with something to prove
 But to say wise up and keep on the move
 You've got to fight, keep guard
 Cos living in the city is hard and in the end
 When the city falls down
 It's the Fat Man who has fell to the ground
 And the fit will survive,
 The strong will stay alive
 So make your stand because your life is at hand
 And learn from the mistakes of your fellow man
 Then you can move on
 But take note of where you're from
 Know where you're from, know where you're at
 So just run and make fiction fact
 And keep running because he's catching you up
 And if he catches you,
 You're going to run out of luck
 Because you know it is the voice
 Of the new generation of rappers
 Who will show you the truth of the new situation
 I've run a long way
 To get on the mic to tell you today
 I had to play my cards and work real hard
 And now I'm here
 I'm sounding rock hard
 And the Fat Man he can't be seen
 I've ran to a place that's hard and mean
 A place happy people just gather around
 I'm in a fantasy, my own underground
 And you're free to come too
 So just put on your running shoes
 Because if going to come
 Well, the Fat Man's coming so listen up brother
 Follow me, keep running, keep running
 Spending to much of my precious time
 Staying one step ahead of the Fat Man
 Spending to much of my precious time
 Spending to much of my precious time
 Staying one step ahead of the Fat Man
 Staying one step ahead of the Fat Man
 Spending to much of my precious time
 Staying one step ahead of the Fat Man
 Spending to much of my precious time
 Spending to much of my precious time
 Staying one step ahead of the Fat Man
