[Intro] [Verse 1] You have to do, what I ask of you And theres a task I have for you Tackle a track with a rap and attack With your natural knack and your aptitude You do that, I aint mad at you Ill pat your back and say, Thatll do Then just sit back and then when you think back Youll be happy you did what you had to do Cause you are gifted Cant bus tables, too artistic Its too sadistic, to ever think that You could ever become another statistic This is kismet, you gotta foster All the shit that, you got to offer You got a lot to, so you oughtta Remember what you got before you forgot to But you wanna be forgotten And dont wanna be reminded And dont wanna put the time in When a rhyme needs redefining Fine then, but Im trying To figure out why youre not trying Try to speak to you, bout unspeakable Things, but you keep trying to hide them When you gotta let go, tell me What in the fuck youre upset for? When youve been given any and every Amenity from the get go What in the hell ever made you Anything other than grateful Or made you behave in a way that was Anything other than utterly thankful, huh? [Chorus 1] Running... Along Going... Alone I wont let you down 2X [Verse 2] People are strange and Im becoming a stranger So Im running away, cause I got nothing to stay for All I want is a change, cause I dont think I can take more Need I really have to explain more?... OK were All on our own, getting farther from home And embarking on different chapters, and theres Factors that dictate whether we move Forwards or go backwards, that aint Under our jurisdiction, what a wonderful we live in Where we wish for an existence other than the one were given Given all the shit we been in We should be living with no regrets But Ive seen more, than I can ignore So I can forgive but I wont forget Im the best at holding grudges, I wont let you go unpunished Cause you lied when you professed and attested to no injustice You gotta fight for the lost lives That got lost and discarded and tossed into boxes of archives Left there to rot, forever forgotten Just cause theyd fallen on hard times So if youre sinking I wont ever let you drown Cause Gd may let you die, but I will never let you down, no [Chorus 2] Running... Along Going... Alone I wont let you down 2X
