Lyrics
[Intro]
I got a new world in my view
On my journey I pursue
I said I'm runnin', runnin' for the city
I got the new world in my view
I got the new world in my view
On my journey I pursue
Oh, I'm runnin', runnin' for the city
I got the new world in my view
[Verse 1]
They ain't got no muscle, no hustle
No backbone, I stand alone
Not tripping, just saying, I'm different
Ain't hanging on the coattails of the next man
Passport in my left hand, thinking that you got next
Heck, hope you ain't holding your breath, man
'Cause I'm out here, I'm hungry
I don't play around, trust me
Ain't had my drive since my Honda Civic got rusty
And my girl said she loved me, it's funny
Just thinking back, study hard for that 9 to 5
Like I thought that I'd be good with that
I was dreaming, still dreaming
Spoil it on me like Willie Beaman
Still performing like Al Pacino
Instagramin' in tuxedos
With my peoples, we growing up
'Stead of seeing others slowing up
Tint Squad, we throwing up
Every time we showing up
[Chorus]
Get it while I'm livin'
All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, tickin'
So I'm 'bout my business
Said I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
I'm runnin' with them, yeah
They don't wanna give it up
We don't make them ask it
Get it while I'm livin'
All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, tickin'
So I'm 'bout my business
Said I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
I'm runnin' with them, yeah
They don't wanna give it up
We gon' make it out
[Verse 2]
It don't get no greater, feel like I'm on fire
Feel like I'm Johnny Storm, feel like I'm volatile
Explosive, get close enough to notice
Your girl act out of character when she see me approachin'
Ain't poachin', I'm just sayin' it's nothin'
You punchin' above your weight, I'm somethin'
She ain't seen no substitute in that A-Team
That's B.A. Baracus, that BS, that whackness
Get no play in my axis, make 'em jump like AJ Hackett
Guarantee you, in these boots they couldn't walk one mile
Really need to go and hang it up like a drunk dial
So behind the times, they should probably rock a sundial
Shattering their dreams, I could make Big Pun smile
Music from the soul, don't need them to help me
If they fiendin' for the flash, they should take another selfie
Said, I'm running, I'm running like Mo Farah, so dapper
Swear the whole world could go against me
It don't matter, man
[Chorus]
Get it while I'm livin'
All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, tickin'
So I'm 'bout my business
Said I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
I'm runnin' with them, yeah
They don't wanna give it up
We don't make them ask it
Get it while I'm livin'
All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, tickin'
So I'm 'bout my business
Said I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
I'm runnin' with them, yeah
They don't wanna give it up
We don't make them ask it
[Bridge]
I'm on the chase
Won't wait another day (My plan is falling into place)
We ain't got much to lose (I'm on the chase)
Won't wait another day (My plan is falling into place)
We ain't got much to lose
[Chorus]
Get it while I'm livin'
All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, tickin'
So I'm 'bout my business
Said I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
I'm runnin' with them, yeah
They don't wanna give it up
We don't make them ask it
Get it while I'm livin'
All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, tickin'
So I'm 'bout my business
Said I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
I'm runnin' with them, yeah
They don't wanna give it up
We don't make them ask it
