[Verse 1 - Skyzoo] He said all I know is mad start And when the gun go off, he turns black heart 'Cause when the runnin is on, we all track stars You either runnin along or you a past mark So either run with it forward or play the past part There's no rides for the weary or weak It's so quiet you can hear when you sleep But so live you can clear in a week With no ties, no ears to the street No thrones, no homes, nothin on Nothin promised outside, so what you hearin is cheap They say we all in this together But somethin gotta give or somebody gotta give 'til all of this get better If all of this is forever and the goal is to change Then you can't upset if we should go with our aim And you can't see regrets if you controllin your lane Put your hand on your heart and you solemnly swear to get it Driver seat, right side or rear, you with it 'Cause shit is wicked on these mean streets But where the green be is where we tryin to stand, so we need reach Dirty 'round here, so we need cleats, lace up now
[Chorus - Skyzoo] I see you runnin, somethin like a marathon Keep runnin, somethin like a marathon I see you runnin, somethin like a marathon Keep runnin, somethin like a marathon Keep runnin, somethin like a marathon Huh, 'cause they can only catch you if you let 'em (if you let 'em) So get your marathon on when you steppin (when you steppin) 'Cause they can only catch you if you let 'em (if you let 'em) So get your marathon on when you steppin (when you steppin) Get your marathon on when you steppin (when you steppin)
[Verse 2 - Skyzoo] Every step taken is a step gained Or a step lost, dependin on how your step change When you step on, there's no returns or step aways Either step cross or fall out of the step game Shit is transparent tryin to find where the step's made If I can't bare it, I'm a die where the step's raised And I can't hear when they cry, I'm at a step's pace 'Cause for the love of everything that we saw Everything that we want is everything that keep us sprintin along And the soles on your kicks turn as thin as the walls So it's one knee down, both hands on the ground When the six shot blows, all hands in the crowd Turn parallel to you but the hands in the crowd Were really just a mirage, ain't a stander around Some look for God, some can't find a cloud So they take it to the store where handlin is allowed The money starts grownin as quick as the time change Start countin your steps, the line is five away Four left so you ease up with it like "I'm straight" You approach the third and they throw you a curve And everything that you predicted is gone with the words (*echo*)
[Chorus - Skyzoo] Keep runnin, somethin like a marathon I see you runnin, somethin like a marathon Keep runnin, somethin like a marathon Keep runnin, somethin like a marathon Huh, 'cause they can only catch you if you let 'em (if you let 'em) So get your marathon on when you steppin (when you steppin) 'Cause they can only catch you if you let 'em (if you let 'em) So get your marathon on when you steppin (when you steppin) Get your marathon on when you steppin (when you steppin)
[Break - Skyzoo] You approach the third and they throw you a curve And everything that you predicted is gone with the words You approach the third and they throw you a curve And everything that you predicted is gone with the words Everything that you predicted is gone with the words, huh
