Run - (Oddisee Remix)

Lyrics

(Intro: Wordsworth)
 How long you plan to run
 When the road ends, you can't turn back and go the other way
 That's not a solution, that's only refusin'
 Now you trapped yourself in more sides in everyway
 (Chorus: Wordsworth)
 So where you gonna run now?
 Nobody makes it alone so
 Where you gonna run now?
 No more places to hide so
 Where you gonna run now?
 No more places to stay so
 Where you gonna run now?
 Eventually you get caught
 (Verse 1: Wordsworth)
 Troublemaker in her teens, either love or hate her
 Seeks attention make a scene wherever her mother takes her
 Curses her out, attitude worse then her mouth
 Used to work in the south, 'til her aunt there kicked her out
 Raising hell, acts invincible, yell back and spit at you
 Held back in middle school, expelled, splapped the principal
 Wilding out, nothing to be wild about
 When her mom keeps her up to date with every style that's out
 Long Island house, got her own room
 Behave and save, a crib and care, she'll have her own soon
 But shes very unappreciative gives all the credit to her dad
 But the secret is her mom made him keep the kid
 Doesn't go to school, just another truant case
 Trespassed at a high school and slashed a students face
 Can't go home police waiting
 Tries to run away from her problems but they keep chasing
 (Chorus: Wordsworth)
 (Verse 2: Wordsworth)
 Pops up on her pops porch
 "My little girl came to see me, man it's been a while" that's what her pops thought
 Scot-free at her pop's crib
 Thought her mom was being cruel
 thought her father had no set of rules, but he got his
 Chores, mop the floors, then scrub the walls
 After 8: 00 no noise, phone calls, no boys
 Mow the lawn, wash the car and dishes, clean the kitchen
 Wake up, we excercise, your curfew's at 9: 00
 Was gonna teach her how to drive, couldn't wait 'till her father arrvied
 And mischeif only keeps her occupied
 Takes the keys while he went golfing, drove but not often
 The store wasn't that far she could've just walked it
 Foot slips of the gas, but to avoid the crash
 Hits a woman coming out of Pathmark carrying bags
 Hit and ran, felt she was driving safe
 A customer inside the gate of the parking lot got the license plate
 Parks it back in the garage, paint scratched, try to match it on the car
 With nail polish so the accident was solved
 Cops drove up asking, "Sir, do you own a Maxima"
 She was gone before they thought of asking her
 (Chorus: Wordsworth)
 (Breakdown)
 Calls her aunt upstate with the estate and the house that's by the lake
 She said "I don't want that drama down here"
 Calls her ex boyfriend that moved in Portland, Oregon to get away
 He said "I don't want that drama down here"
 Calls her cousin in Miami but the family called there before she did
 They said "We don't want that drama down here"
 Last call to her uncle but he's unaware
 He said "Why don't you call your mom and dad"
 She's like "Yeah, great idea"
 (Verse 3: Wordsworth)
 Whole city looking for her
 Things escalated since the slashing and the hit and run in Brooklyn where they saw her
 Changed her hairstyle, now in Staten Isle
 Because she knows her grandma would never give up her grandchild
 Blind in one eye barely could see who it was
 Family always say they'll visit but nobody does
 Through the screen door recognized, boy she was surprised
 Lonely, seen it in her eyes as she rushed her inside
 "Does your mom know that your here" but really didn't care
 So delighted to see her, catching up on things, trying to feed her
 Ran out of sugar, "I'll go to the store for you"
 Hands her the purse but not without going in it first
 Opens the door, cops ambush from the trees
 With rifles wedged in her temple yelling "Freeze!"
