Runnin' - Pharrell Williams

Written by：Pharrell Williams

Summertime in virginia was a oven oven

All the kids eating ice cream with their cousins cousins

I was studyin' while you was playing the dozens dozens

Don't act like you was there when you wasn't

Runnin' from the man man runnin' from the badge badge

Don't act like you was there when you wasn't

Runnin' toward our plans plans and the judges hands hands

Don't act like you was there when you wasn't

I know they say you crawl for your own

But in my mind now I already jog

If I stand still I cannot get far

They want the moon I'm on mars

Sometime my mind dives deep

When I'm runnin'

I don't want no free ride

I'm just sick and tired of runnin'

Some nights I cry

Cause I can see the day coming

Together we fight

Oh but no more runnin'

You and I are not different from each other other

Shut our eyes when we slumber I see numbers numbers

Black and white we're computers I am colored colored

Don't act like you was there when you wasn't

From runnin' to exams exams to jobs for a man man

Don't act like you was there when you wasn't

In the law of the land land the women were often banned banned

Don't act like you was there when you wasn't

I know they say you crawl for your own

But in my mind I already jog

If I stand still I cannot get far

They want the moon I'm on mars

Sometime my mind dives deep

When I'm runnin'

I don't want no free ride

I'm just sick and tired of runnin'

Some nights I cry

Cause I can see the day coming

Together we fight

Oh but no more runnin'

I know they say you crawl for your own

But in my mind now I already jog

If I stand still I cannot get far

They want the moon I'm on mars

Sometime my mind dives deep

When I'm runnin'

I don't want no free ride

I'm just sick and tired of runnin'

Some nights I cry

Cause I can see the day coming

Together we fight

Oh but no more runnin'
