Smooth Runner

Hey hey Ooooh It's been a couple months since we both left home I been running here miles you won't answer your phone Know that I never want to leave you on your own But the bobbies they came close so you know I had to go Feels like I been running this time since time began I must'a lost track of the time and it overran I tried to play the show but they just told me no And then they stopped coming now I'm falling off The edge I'm sittin' Cos this city life you know it's gettin' me down It never stops you see it always spins round Such a rush everywhere I'm close to melt down See I only show my face in the night 'Cos I'm the smooth runner Tell mumma that I love her It's the smooth runner No time to play the lover I'm the smooth runner I don't wish it on no other Should'a spent my life out different Send word out to my brother Should never started that fight We were livin' it right We were working through it Life was at our fingertips But the bottle always got in the way And now we're never gonna finish this When the five oh come my way You know my life they're straight up binnin' And when they get me I'll be out of luck So send my love to my babies 'Cos you know I ain't walkin' Might be some time So make sure it the truth they know That I've always tried to be there And one day I'll show them so Tell them that I'm sorry if it's a long time coming And baby no it's no joke no I won't be forgotten I'll be there with you every time that I'm no Don't make no sound 'Cos you know that they'll be sad when I'm no longer around 'Cos I'm the smooth runner Tell mumma that I love her It's the smooth runner No time to play the lover I'm the smooth runner I don't wish it on no other Should'a spent my life out different Send word out to my brother Come on You're a mum and I'm a dad We can't keep going on This way this was It's bad enough the babies don't know if they gonna see us Each day each day I know I'm no help the way I am And there's nothing else that I can say But if we keep on going this way They're gonna take 'em both away Smooth runner 'Cos you're my last hope girl Smooth runner You and them are all I've got Smooth runner What little I had is lost Every time that I'm out it don't take long till I drop I am the smooth runner 'Cos I got nowhere to turn Smooth runner Just got some cash made up to burn Smooth runner And though I'm feeling the cost I'm a keep on going this way Cos I feel my life is lost I am the smooth runner
