Rayner G. - Don't Run From It (feat. Mac R. E. P. S)

I be looking in the mirror
And keep seeing my, Dad
I start thinking about the old days
When the homeboy used to stay at the pad
That's when I learned rap
And when I learned that
Momma couldn't hold it down
So I had to run around and try to my take my control back

Don't worry about it. I got it
Believe me, I'm straight
I'm for here whatever you need
Just please don't ask me to explain
About all of these issues I'm facing
I'm calling that strength
But coping like that doesn't make you strong
It just makes you grey

Lately I been trying to let the colors in
Lately I been stopping playing with pretend
Lately I been cutting off "ain't really friends"
Lately I been starting to feel my heart again

Lately I been taking walks alone, in my zone
With these songs on loop playing in my head
Standing in my shadows until I ascend
Addressing my mistakes. Trying to make amends

Lately I been saying to myself I don't need to sleep
I just need beats so that could shed
All the impulses I have urging defense
I don't need no mechanisms to contend

Lately I been eating words, drinking verses, picking worth
But I'm not feeling fed
Imma keep on working till they bring the check
Now let's go take a look into that mirror again

If you wanna get it
Just no sitting down it ain't gonna come
Don't matter how hard it gets
Just don't give up until it is done
You run a million miles, then you can run a million and one
Just don't run from it
Just don't run from it
You working night and day
Everyday you up before the sun
No matter how hard it gets, just don't give up till it is done
You run a million miles, then you can run a million and one
Just don't run from it
Just don't run from it

I hold the sight of my eyes
And start thinking about mom
I reminisce on the late nights, had some great fights every time I was wrong
She's why my head's strong
And why I'm singing these songs
Free-styling in my room with the crew till like two
She made home a place I belonged

I carry that energy with me
It's the sword on my back
And parry life's "mess with me" flurries
Without losing footing or slack
I meet all my challenges daily
Out here starting from scratch
I'm a god and this world is amazing
And I owe Mom for that! facts

Lately I been feeling like I'm on to something
Lately I been glowing I ain't really stunting
Lately I been playing the cards I've in front me
Lately I been carrying a new tune to strut with

Basically, I just let go, control's on low
In my growth and I fully trust it
I ain't never been the type to hold assumptions
Or hold my thumb over the sun and hope cover it

Patiently, I'm switching up the code to the mode I been on in my soul, and I'm feeling lucky
Pouring every ounce of me to find some substance
Building from the ground up. My ship's fully custom

Flagrantly, I'm piloting my vessel like a rebel with force
So of course Imma press some buttons
I face the mirror to which I have grown so accustomed
And tell myself to get it there's NO USE in running

If you wanna get it
Just no sitting down it ain't gonna come
Don't matter how hard it gets
Just don't give up until it is done
You run a million miles, then you can run a million and one
Just don't run from it
Just don't run from it
You working night and day
Everyday you up before the sun
No matter how hard it gets, just don't give up till it is done
You run a million miles, then you can run a million and one
Just don't run from it
Just don't run from it

It seems like things won't go your way and you ain't thinking straight
All that pain you stored inside it just won't go away
It just keeps piling up enough that you might go insane
But you won't  run away, no you're not afraid
And everything you wanna say it just don't mean a thing
You keep holding back and praying for a day to change
But no matter what you're never gonna be the same
Don't have to be afraid, don't have to run away

If you wanna get it
Just no sitting down it ain't gonna come
Don't matter how hard it gets
Just don't give up until it is done
You run a million miles, then you can run a million and one
Just don't run from it
Just don't run from it
You working night and day
Everyday you up before the sun
No matter how hard it gets, just don't give up till it is done
You run a million miles, then you can run a million and one
Just don't run from it
Just don't run from it
