Run up

Intro (ad-libs)

Ayy, yeah-yeah, woo

Skrrt, brrt, ayy

Verse 1

Steppin' out the whip, city glow on my fitted

Checks on my mind, whole block lookin' gifted

They whisper how I move, how I flip it, how I spend it

Heart cold, chain cold, but my circle stay committed

Phone buzz, say they comin' with the gang tonight

Say they wanna test the roll, say they wanna start a fight

I laugh, pocket full, wrist iced, I sight the light

Tell 'em keep they distance or get put out of sight

Pre-Hook

Never been the type to run from what I built

Lessons in my veins, made it out the guilt

So if you tryna’ flex or step up in my field

Know this ain’t a game, boy — this is how steel feels

Hook (Chorus)

Run up, run up, run up — don’t run up on me

Run up, run up, we don’t play, we just leave

Run up, run up, talk cheap where the streets be

Run up, run up, best believe we run up on peace

Verse 2

Shorty in the cut, she know how I move slow

But when the streets call names, we let the whole crew know

Paper on my mind like the ink gon’ never fade

Made it out the basement where the night taught me trade

Enemies talk loud but they quiet when it’s time

Action paint the story — you can read it in my grind

I keep the cooler on the back, no freeze in my spine

We built from nothing, now we run up every line

Pre-Hook 2

Mama said don’t fold, daddy said keep pride

So I wrap my meaning in my hustle every night

If you comin’ for my life, better come with the facts

‘Cause loyalty’s a currency and I’m cashin’ in stacks

Hook (Chorus)

Run up, run up, run up — don’t run up on me

Run up, run up, we don’t play, we just leave

Run up, run up, talk cheap where the streets be

Run up, run up, best believe we run up on peace

Bridge (melodic, reflective)

Late nights, telephone lights, I still count my days

All the friends that turned to ghosts, all the games they played

But I keep the heart soft when the world get cruel

Keep a lil’ faith for the kids, keep the rule of cool

If you wanna’ test me, test my patience first

If you want respect, earn the verse or get the thirst

Run up on the wrong wave, you gon’ find the cost

We made it from the bottom, never got lost

Hook (Chorus — layered)

Run up, run up, run up — don’t run up on me (don’t run up)

Run up, run up, we don’t play, we just leave (we just leave)

Run up, run up, talk cheap where the streets be (where the streets be)

Run up, run up, best believe we run up on peace (run up on peace)

Outro (ad-libs, fading)

Yeah, yeah, we run up and run it back

Ayy, keep your distance, keep your racks

Run up, run up, run up — don’t run up on me

Porque music

See you when I see you

Woo, brrt, skrrt, ayy
