Running Lyrics

[Intro: J. Ivy]
Life is a marathon
A maze, a magic, a mistery
When I quest to make a mark on history
Was sometimes trouble by the terrain
That's tough but the aim remains the same
The mountain top, the podium
Breaking into the tape, to the end of the race
Despite all the pain

[Chorus: John Legend]
I keep on running but my feet don't get tired
I keep on running but my feet don't get tired
I keep on running but my feet don't get tired (Feet don't get tired)
My feet don't get tired
But my feet don't get tired

[Verse 1: Slick Rick]
Givin' up, what's that?
Life how you're runnin' in circles, man what trap
We on the go as soon as a feet on the ground, make contact in fact
Each step taken might not be exact, but we grow through the pain, and every bruise, every scratch, don't ya?
Hit those knees up, don't skip
Run through the competition, the division, your minds negative dimensions
Don't let your doubts weigh you down, feelin' suffocate every time that it's found
Don't put matter over your mind, breathe your dreams
Catch a wind closer to your finish lines
Where each wrap battle your time, your grind, don't be alarmed
You in the final scratch, man pump those arms, kill that noise
Remember your joy, your passion, look at the distance you're passin
I'm askin', it's exhaustin' but what ain't
Show them you can when they think that you can't
You ain't got no restraints, your DNA is a gift
Kick, rock, row, hop on your hips
Grip your gain and lift your gain, it's a beautiful mission
Your song plays alone, nobody listens, the effects are stunnin'
One foot in front of the next, these steps keep drummin'
Your heart beat beats to the rythm
All you gotta do is, keep runnin'
[Chorus: John Legend]
I keep on running but my feet don't get tired
I keep on running but my feet don't get tired
I keep on running but my feet don't get tired (Feet don't get tired)
My feet don't get tired
But my feet don't get tired

[Verse 2: Zverse]
Keep movin' your feet, even when you feel weak
Don't look to the ground, that's a part of defeat
Stop lookin' around, focus hard on the beat
Your heart racing you now, but you in every week
Enough a day, enough a dollar, but they got you wondering if
If life is a gift, and you're on the list, and what did you miss
There's gotta be more, cannot always be this
See you get either quit or make excuses
How you used to be a part of the race
And you're runnin' in place, feelin' disgraced
Your prodicy[?] race, now you're hiding your face
Put when I'm on the case
See, I don't know nobody strong livin'[?]
That you could be as brave as you can, stick to a plan
Don't worry who sees you, they might not understand
Not a word that you're sayin', but observin' you play
Can be certain when say
[Chorus: John Legend]
I keep on running but my feet don't get tired
I keep on running but my feet don't get tired
I keep on running but my feet don't get tired (Feet don't get tired)
My feet don't get tired
But my feet don't get tired

[Verse 3]
In modern day
Bad karma
Is calling himself, God
And try to control, existance
Killin' mother nature's beaty and purpose
So when feel loose inside
Focus on accurate perception of reality
And let it strenghten mental capacity
And help nurture and mantain spiritual in a peace
No matter how the hards look, true first, always
To my walkin' dead, the playwright Shakespeare once said:
"Rage to the dying of a light
We must maintain a moral compass (Compass)

[Outro: John Legend]
I keep on running but my feet don't get tired
