[Crayon:]

I should've listened to my momma

How to keep her when I find her

But I wasn't about commitment

All I wanted was to hit it

After all the other women

I promise after I'm finished I'd come

(Runnin back to you)

But I didn't

Now I'm trapped in a prison without walls

Sittin' in my room anticipating your calls

In spite of it all

If you love something learn to let it go

And if it comes

(Running back to you)

Then it's yours for life

Well maybe then I'll make you my wife

Experiencing lows and highs

Until our demise

Whether you smile or you sigh

I'm a be by your side

Surprised? I came

(Running back to you)

Didn't I?

They say the eyes are the mirrors to the soul

So if you look into mines you should already know

So forget all the hoes after the shows

I'm thinking about home

I'm (Running back to you)

You know?


[Hook:]

If I run

When I come, will you still be here?

Don't you go because them others never got the best of me

Let me know

If I run

When I come, will you still be here?

Don't you go because them others never got the best of me

Why do you keep me away?


[Rock Shabazz:]

Ayo she don't trust Shabazz

She says them Scorpios is freaks

They got magnetic powers plus they smooth when they cheat

Leave no clues when they speak, but all flowers need the sun

She's plucking out all her petals dreaming that she's the one

I'm her food, shelter clothing

In the mood I get her open

Type to lose it when I'm stroking

But them losers that she rode with in the past gave her baggage

They gassed her with charm and then they dashed like it's magic

Man it had to do damage

She got war between her lips

Peace between her thighs

I breathe the sweetest lies but she reads between the lines

Paranoid, she's torn, I can see it within cause I'm

In a constant tug of war with the exes in her mind

I'm boxing with ghosts, thinking of letting her go

Maybe she's leaving me, Nope!

Switching then gripping me close

She said "My love is a suicide drill

I run away but still I'm"

{Running back to you}

Yeah girl

But like a suicide drill you running further everytime

And coming back tired

I think I gotta draw the line

But often her persistence softens my resistence

Sobbin when she flips, she swore it's gon be different


[Bridge and Hook:]

I keep...running..

I know it's been long but I'm coming

I hope I touch down before morning

Yeah Yeah


If I run

When I come, will you still be here?

Don't you go because them others never got the best of me

Let me know

If I run

When I come, will you still be here?

Don't you go because them others never got the best of me

Why do you keep me away?

You keep me away

Don't you go because them others never got the best of me

Why do you keep me away?

(You know we having some problems)

You keep me away

(And you know that we can't solve 'em)

You keep me away

(So baby you know I can't be)

You keep me away

Why do you keep me away?
