Lyrics
[Chorus]
Runnit back
Let's run the numbers up and runnit back
You see us out here getting to the bag
Run the numbers up and runnit back
Run, run, run, run, runnit back
Let's run the numbers up and runnit back
Oh no, when we get the bag
Yeah, don't you get too mad
Yo
Run, run, run, run, runnit back
[Verse 1]
Yo, yo, you gettin' money, you really don't need to talk about it
Move quiet, you should try it, there's some clout around it
Chasing hoes and overthinking the process
Outside of the gates spewing the nonsense
On the phone, he begging women to come out
Back to back calling until his minutes run out
Begging for loose change and scraping to maintain
On sipping some Ace Spades and playing with waist chains
I think you get the picture, we outside the frame
Get your Louis Hamilton on swerve, lane to lane, on gang, on gang
We brainstorming till it rains and we drive our gang
Straight into the Hall of Fame
You **** need to pay attention
I was seventeen and had 'em shipping the Benz in (Runnit back)
I was sixteen eatin' steak with Russell Simmons (Runnit back)
I was fifteen in the basement with a vision, I could
[Chorus]
Runnit back
Let's run the numbers up and runnit back
Runnit, runnit, runnit, runnit back
Stuff it in your Birkin bag 'cause he don't fuck with that
So just runnit back
Let's run the numbers up and runnit back
Run, run, run, run, runnit back
We run the numbers up and runnit back
Run, run, run, run, runnit back
[Verse 2]
Time to add to the cypher
Time is money, time to run the numbers higher
My **** earn, hustlin' early, shit is hardwired
Photo bezel, frozen neck, all black attire
A million dollars make 'em follow a messiah
Is you a charlatan or really take 'em higher?
We in demand, distributors and suppliers
Been getting bands since signatures on the flyers
Listen, gotta make moves if you really want it
Desperate dudes eat ya food, that's how they be on it
It's a must that we hustle today and escape from the trap
Round table discussing the way that we get to the racks
Matter the game that you play, I'm just stating the facts
The aim of the game to be caking and making the max
I was twenty with a stack, nineteen with a plaque
Eighteen, neck icy with my Kangol hat, I told em
[Chorus]
Runnit back
Let's run the numbers up and runnit back
You see us out here getting to the bag
Run the numbers up and runnit back
Run, run, run, run, runnit back
Let's run the numbers up and runnit back
Oh no, when we get the bag
Yeah, don't you get too mad
Run, run, run, run, runnit back
