Hook:
Start running faster, and don't you turn around/
all that you know has turned to ashes and is falling like snow/
you keep running faster, barely touch the ground/
you breath the ashes of a summer drought and a man on fire.
Verse One:
Money one my mind, I ain't even thinkin'/
eyes on the prize, I ain't even blinkin'/
paper chasin', tryna' get to where that money be/
I'm on that Billy Graham, sit back and watch me preach/
I'm on my Charlie Sheen, sit back and watch me win/
out here on Neville Rd., chillin' with my next of kin/
I'm 54 bound, you know how I get down/
screamin' die hard, I know you hear the sound/
all my soldiers marchin', I'm know you hear the fleet/
and all them people talkin', I know you hear the streets/
they say the good die young, the bad die slow/
and it ain't nowhere to run when it's your time to go/
and it ain't nowhere to hide when the grim reaper approach/
you ain't safe behind crosses or closed doors/
stand for nothing, you will fall for anything, you know/
alot of ya'll be runnin', don't know what your runnin' for.
Hook (Repeat)
Verse Two:
And if I had wings I'd fly away, searchin' for a better day/
can't slow down right now, runnin' for that money on a paper chase/
paper chasin', gotta get that guapo, money on my mind/
call me tunnel vision shorty, all I see is dollar signs/
and all I do is grind for mine/
it's like a hundred miles and runnin' in this marathon/
and I ain't lookin' back until I'm at the finish line/
cuz I'm starvin' and I swear it's 'bout dinner time/
keep your pace up, and don't slow down, even when the race up/
it's death before dishonor, please let's get back to the basics/
them jack boys lookin', police boys wishin'/
you would fall in there trap so they could catch you slippin'/
listen to my words, take heed to what I say/
'cuz these type of things happen everyday/
just keep it one hundred, work hard for your desires/
cuz you don't wanna be that man on fire.
Hook (Repeat)
