Runnin' de Pharrell Williams

Summertime in Virginia was a oven
All the kids eating ice cream with their 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 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 comin'
Together we fight
Oh, but no more runnin'

You and I are not different from each other
Shut our eyes, when we slumber I see numbers
Black and white, we're computers, I am 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 comin'
Together we fight
Oh, but no more runnin'

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 comin'
Together we fight

(Oh, but no more runnin'...)
