From the recording Running
Lyrics
Ramzee Verse 1
These days I feel brand new
Eyeing life in hindsight
I’m like what did you do
Too much time wasted
Substances tasted
Missing something I was chasing
Whatever I was never brave enough to face it
Dissociated grew complacent and lazy
Complaining blaming everyone for the life that they gave me
Quickly slipping away into a dark pattern
Where nothing much really seemed to matter
Conscious Route Verse 1
Definition in repetition, learning lessons, separate essence, adapted, fractured, raw adolescence,
Distorted, patched into drug sessions,
Black pauper, Black origin, scores,
What whites torture us for,
Take liberties, liberty done settled, score,
Destroyed culture, unsettled.
Facts on record, gauge to test metal, send shots,
Unorthodox, left 'em cotched in a box,
You call it Fort Knox.
Conscious Route (Response bars)
Yeah, speaking it, it's pretty strange,
Thinking what this means to you,
You're running, what's that aim for change?
Ramzee Verse 2
Running away was always easier
Than sitting in pain
Self loathe health no
Quitting the haze
Crawled out of my darkest hour
Appalled I call myself a ruin
That grew back to a tall tower
Come clean esteem
Redeem full power
Soft sheets and concrete
What's your beef?
Conscious Route Verse 2
In two situations I went to take my life,
Hate, deprecation, highly priced,
You either get better,
Or get buried,
Love, wonder,
Or go under,
Accept pain,
Coyote sunder to Road Runner.
Back & Forth Outro
We still here (RamZee)
Love alleviates consequences (Conscious Route)
Without fear (RamZee)
Elitist fear-monger ting (Conscious Route)
Feeding mental strain (RamZee)
Then dat Black, White hunger ting (Conscious Route)
The Phoenix from the suffering (RamZee)
