Issue No 140 Move On Lyrics
Move On by Issue No. 140
I can't run, I can't hide
It don't matter how hard I try
To move on
I spent years in my neighborhood figuring out
While my mom said get your yellow ass in the house
All my friends up the street, they running they mouth
It's just another indication of a boy in the south
Saw things and did thing that I wasn't 'possed to
Still, I was on the right path, I was hopeful
Church Sundays, I would hear my momma vocals
And break down for the many things that she go through
But that's how it was and not how it is
I look at kids now when they seem out of it
I try to put my best foot right in front of it
But you can't save everyone, that's a negative
So I keep going on and on
Like Erykah Badu so I write this song
And I'm trying to find you, you need this song
You can't move when the bridge is gone
Sometimes I think
I can't run, I can't hide
It don't matter
I can't run, I can't hide
It don't matter
Slow down, son, you killing them
I can't run, I can't hide
It don't matter how hard I try
To move on
Racism and sexism, all the same thing
Discrimination is evident, I'm looking for a change
And change is gonna come, do I really wanna wait
And do my own thing, do I really wanna chase the American dream
A parent of three, big car, big house under various trees
Do I want the spotlight, people staring at me
Looking for a true love just to share with me
It's just a hole in the cypher, smoking pipers
They do it 'cause they love it but in time they bite dust
You tryna stand out but they may not like us
I like you, one God judge the righteous
And if you know that, then a mass attack
Is avoided and your personality is intact
Tryna run but can't hide, the pride is alive
And it's up to you to decide
Sometimes I think
I can't run, I can't hide
It don't matter
I can't run, I can't hide
It don't matter
Slow down, son, you killing them
I can't run, I can't hide
It don't matter how hard I try
To move on
And I try to move on like CC
Some try to move up like D3
Everybody tryna say something, there, you can stay up in here
Get a job, get a different career
You been spitting for a while, you been spitting for years
Put your pedal to the medal, time to get it again
I was taught from a little kid please don't give it up
And calls from the grad school looking to pick it up
Did a little bit of traveling, did some battling
I had a couple girls graduated from medicine
I went through a tough time, RIP
To my man who was lost young, my nigga D
And I took it kinda hard but I made it through
Since then I been looking for excuses, too
Take another route but I know my path is chosen
We gotta move on, time never is frozen
Blue collar
I can't run, I can't hide
It don't matter
I can't run, I can't hide
It don't matter
Slow down, son, you killing them
I can't run, I can't hide
It don't matter how hard I try
To move on
It don't matter how hard I try
To move on
I spent years in my neighborhood figuring out
While my mom said get your yellow ass in the house
