I dare not close these open eyes
I fight 'til what I want is mine
I got to keep my words alive
We are running out of time
We are running we are running
I live to mirror what's inside
It's something none of me should hide
Make others revel in the shine
We are running out of time
We are running we are running
Oh oh
I'm picking up the pace picking up the pace
Oh oh
I'm running while I chase running while I chase
Oh oh
Now tell me what it takes tell me what it takes
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Looking at the mirror I don't really look the same
I made peace with the mirror my reflection changed
I was in the fast lane 'cause I had a name
I never realized what I caused and what I became
On the streets never stained 'cause I entertained
I don't seek validation now I spark the brain
I was lit in the game way before the chains
And my girl never cared even in the rain
Ups and downs back and forths then we're back around
When we're in a bad place man my heart pounds
From the start I never cared if you weren't down
Now that feeling's in my throat and I feel drowned
Looking back I was a menace I was such a clown
Heartbreak kid show Michael's in the town
Now it's my prerogative like Bobby Brown
To put it all behind me 'cause I love the way it sounds
Oh oh
I'm picking up the pace picking up the pace
Oh oh
I'm running while I chase running while I chase
Oh oh
Now tell me what it takes tell me what it takes
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
And it's tearing me apart no more luck
And they're saying that the ticking clocks
Will never have enough
Is it time that I adjust what I love?
'Cause I'm trying to restart the system of the heart
I check the hourglass I'm running out of time
Looking for the answers 'cause your heart is on the line
Validation never got me nowhere it declined
I was tryna live up to a life that wasn't mine
Voices in my business on a daily sounding monotone
When I was down they never cared they fake like silicone
I saw the light do not disturb is written on my phone
I'm in the studio with powers and a styrofoam
Oh oh
I'm picking up the pace picking up the pace
Oh oh
I'm running while I chase running while I chase
Oh oh
Now tell me what it takes tell me what it takes
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
I'm picking up the pace picking up the pace
Oh oh
I'm running while I chase running while I chase
Oh oh
Now tell me what it takes tell me what it takes
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
