Running From Pain Lyrics

You know, love is just pain in disguise

I know you see it in my eyes

I know you see the pain that run deep Wishin' I ain't wake up out my sleep

Smokin' weed, tryna numb the feelings of reality

Tired of wakin' up to more and more tragedies

What have we come to, this shit is blasphemy

My circle small, but it's really full of

capacity

Niggas told me I wouldn't make it

I can't believe the audacity

Face-to-face with this shit, no Cassidy

I had to call to shoot clips like a casting scene

I'm tryna get rich, but I don't wanna die a fiend

Young stoner life, I got more Gunna's what you mean

Made that ho my lil' baby, she used to be my close friend

Asked her who better for her than me, she say, no man

Lately I've been on my own

From the first time I looked in your eyes

I knew with me that's where you belong

Maybe I could just be wrong

Only timing will tell, can't dwell on mistakes

I ain't tryna just drag you along

Can't drag you along

Lately I've been on my own

From the first time I looked in your eyes

I knew with me that's where you belong

Maybe I could just be wrong

Only timing will tell, can't dwell on mistakes

I ain't tryna just drag you along

Can't drag you along

No, I can't drag you along

Only want you with me, I don't care if I'm selfish

You don't know bout the shit I been through what I dealt with

She wants romance, I been feelin' real helpless

So tired of runnin' from pain, so I felt it

I felt it,

Only problem with me is communication

Goin' back and forth, I'm deliberatin' Got a lot on my mind, I been contemplatin'

Large attachment to grinding ain't no time for playin'

I done shifted my focus on bein' a man

Tryna write down a business plan with the guys, cause we finna build up the brand

As long as I got my brothers, never needed a friend

As long as I love myself, then I don't need to pretend

Poetry in motion is where my devotion goes, to get away

Still learnin' how to pray, preparin' for my judgment day

I find it funny how we judge others but feel objectified by God

Tryna separate myself from my own demons like pride

As I strive for greatness, there's always a better picture I could be paintin'

I'm just thankful that it ain't you

I desire to become better than you could ever be

I feel as if I'm a prodigy, honestly These words of encouragement, I had to beat it out of me

Psychologically, where I'm at now, I can finally say that I'm proud of me

Lately I've been on my own

From the first time I looked in your eyes

I knew with me that's where you belong

Maybe I could just be wrong

Only timing will tell, can't dwell on mistakes

I ain't tryna just drag you along

Can't drag you along

Lately I've been on my own

From the first time I looked in your eyes

I knew with me that's where you belong

Maybe I could just be wrong

Only timing will tell, can't dwell on mistakes

I ain't tryna just drag you along

Can't drag you along

No, I can't drag you along

Know the timing won't ever be perfect

Just diving in first, I don't care if I'm nervous

I just go with the flow on purpose

Low expectations to keep me from hurting

I can smell the greatness is all over the surface

I don't wanna go to another funeral service

Yeah, I been running from all of this pain

Smoke one take two to the brain

Just to keep me from going insane, going insane, going insane

Know they ask me how you been, I been tryna maintain

So tired of standing in the rain

So tired of running from pain

I think it's time to desecrate the negative thoughts

All I know is violence that I brought

You don't gotta explain yourself, I connected the dots

Should've saw this coming, the way you was brewing the pot

Caught me off guard, whether I knew it or not

But none of that matters now, this shit is spoiled rotten

Should've kept my head on the swivel, but I ain't know you was plotting

I got too comfortable and that's my fault

For giving in and purchasing your bullshit I wish I never bought

Damn, that's some shit I wish I never bought

Yours Truly, The Ghetto Poet
