[Intro]
Yeah…
Ain’t nobody gonna outwork purpose
They counted me out before the race even started
But pressure built stamina
Pain built endurance
And God gave strength when I had nothing left
[beat drops]
[Chorus]
I run and not grow weary
Pressure all around but it never gonna bury me
Legs heavy, soul tired, still moving
God gave strength when the whole world doubted me
I run and not grow weary
Built through the fire, that pain didn’t ruin me
Still standing ten toes through the storm now
God kept carrying me when I was running on empty
[Verse]
Track lights glowing while the sky turn black
Late nights grinding while they all relaxed
Everybody love results, not the process
They don’t see the pressure sitting on my back
Heavy legs after running repeats
Mind tired trying not to lose me
Life hit hard all at once
Still showed up when it would’ve been easy to leave
I done had days I was mentally drained
Smiling outside while fighting through pain
But every time I thought I was done
God kept breathing strength in my veins
That’s why I move like I got purpose attached
Every setback just sharpened the edge
I wasn’t built just to start this race
Nah, I was built to finish it
[Chorus]
I run and not grow weary
Pressure all around but it never gonna bury me
Legs heavy, soul tired, still moving
God gave strength when the whole world doubted me
I run and not grow weary
Built through the fire, that pain didn’t ruin me
Still standing ten toes through the storm now
God kept carrying me when I was running on empty
[Verse]
Hear the bells when I step in lanes
Pain in my chest but I still won’t break
Everybody got opinions from sidelines
Whole time they ain’t felt this weight
I got purpose tied to my footsteps
Faith kept pulling me through setbacks
World tried turning my heart cold
But God kept reminding me who I am
Now I run like Heaven watching
Every lap got meaning behind it
Pressure made me stronger mentally
Prayer made me dangerous spiritually
I remember feeling lost in the dark
Now faith got fire back in my heart
So when exhaustion say “slow down”
God say “keep going, you too close now”
[beat strips down]
[Bridge]
When my strength gone…
He carry me
When my mind weak…
He steady me
When the pressure hit…
He strengthen me
That’s why I keep running
[Final Chorus]
I run and not grow weary
Pressure all around but it never gonna bury me
Legs heavy, soul tired, still moving
God gave strength when the whole world doubted me
I run and not grow weary
Built through the fire, that pain didn’t ruin me
Still standing ten toes through the storm now
God kept carrying me when I was running on empty
