I been looking for some inspiration

I want this bad, no exaggeration, these rap genes made me give up on the graduation

But my peers graduated (Runnin')

So were the honor roll students and recruiters in the schools? I could point out everybody that told me I couldn't do it, **** (Runnin')

So I'm runnin', runnin', runnin'

But I walk many stages, thought the hate phased us

With the odds stacked, still I walk through the mazes

I cried tears of joy, I can't describe that

Only way I could explain is to cry back

I'ma settle for less, but I knew one day I'd be blessed

Put my trust in God in the process

Still through the progress, seen a lotta losses

Many thought we couldn't ball, so they crossed us

But I didn't run back like Lebron James

Pinned the ball to the board, **** it's my court, it's game time

Sometimes I think, why

Why God bless my life?

I promise that I am gonna try to make the wrong things right

In case I gotta die tonight

I'ma give my all tonight

In case I gotta die tonight

I'ma give my all tonight

Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'

Yes, I'm runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'

Why God bless my life?

Why God bless my life?

Here's a point of view of a child in immigration

Tryna reach heights took flights to elevation

When you gotta leave home and everybody that you know, that's a

That's a tough situation

If you feel alone that's the work of separation

But, you work too hard you been patient, mama

Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'

You see your son coming up, next best thing out

And every single time I stand high above the crowd

I tell them all the things that you done to make me proud, yeah

Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'

See I was only ten, a moment in my life

We took the bus, number eight for a ride

And you ain't had the funds for the ride, and the bus driver said

If you ain't have no money ain't no fun in this life

Ever since that day, that shit stuck on my mind

If I could only turn back the time and say a word

I'd tell you patience

Your son's on the brink of his greatness

Sometimes I think why

Why God bless my life?

I promise that I am gonna try to make the wrong things right

In case I gotta die tonight

I'ma give my all tonight

In case I gotta die tonight

I'ma give my all tonight

Why?

Why God bless my life?

I promise that I am gonna try to make the wrong things right

In case I gotta die tonight

I'ma give my all tonight

In case I gotta die tonight

I'ma give my all tonight

Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'

Yes, I'm runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'

Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'

Oh yes, I'm runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'

Why God bless my life?

Why God bless my life?
