Running Man

from No Grey Areas by Genesis

/

about

The 12th track of the bunch is a high energy run for any time or place. More bars! It plays right along the thought process that there are things called standards. There are consequences to not upholding those standards. Like it or not, accountability comes to every door.

lyrics

Get up in the starting blocks to run the race
Gotta get it when the starter's cocked - run to place
First spot light it up - gunning from the lace
'Cause if I'm in front, that means that I'm the one to chase
You'd think I'm doing wind sprints the way I rap bars
Stashed in my memory bank like flashcards
Shattering the records like we step in glass shards
Passing mics like batons - this is Trackstarz
Yeah - best believe I'm getting in the field with 'em
And best believe that the victory is sealed with 'em
Like Justin Gatlin passing up Usain
Shock the world with the lyrics that I packing in a frame
Independent of the of labels and fashions and fame
I'm only in it for the passion of things
I'm passionate mane
Like students international exchange
Crash course, Barry Gordon when I'm flashing the flame
Turn up

Let me show you how to begin this
You're a loser? I'ma show how to win this
Genesis saga - spit it graphic 64 bit
Topographical. Map it like a road trip
Blacks that don't learn to swim get - drowned on the slave ship
Better get to stroking - olympic style focus
Be realistic now - I know you're feeling kinda hopeless
I know I'm not the dopest, but I'll take you little jokers by the throat
And feed you truth until you're choking
Wait wait wait...that wasn't nice
So let's get back on track to this race we call life
Examine all the facts in the face of all price
No practice runs - no, you can't fall twice
And expect to get up and do it again
I'll make it clear - I'm talking you and the sin
You'd better fear. Continue in it, you are condemned
Yeshua is the only Way for you in the end running man

Just about finished schooling ya
Lace 'em up one more time's what I'll do for ya
Long course, no doubt
But you've gotta get prepared and you've gotta stretch it out
Gotta be sincere of what you're all about
The Word says study to show yourself approved -
Unto God, unashamed, right dividing of the word of truth
Don't get ears full of roids, pumping juice
Disqualified on account of ignorance abuse
Can't blame it on the trainer what you're shooting in your veins
Make decisions well-informed before changing lanes
Endurance is the key - building up your stamina
Endure your adversary - don't just let him damage ya
Pick up the pace - don't get left behind sucking wind
No, you won't be safe spending all your time stuck in sin
Throw away the weights so you're running the course
Plug into the Source assures that the victory's yours
