about

This track details the conception of The One. The One has come to bring about balance amongst the poor & righteous versus the rich & subjugating with lines such as "smoke filled his lungs, from the barrel of the guns, now we ride to the beat of the drums"' which reveals the harsh reality of police brutality and the constant social struggle in protesting for those causes. The track was written with the intentions to motivate those willing to sacrifice what it takes to become The One, which we all are in essence.

lyrics

(LeAnna Humming)

(LeAnna Singing): Chorus x1

When you hear those trumpets sound,
they can't stop us now,
ain't nobody taking my crown,
and I got lions on the prowl,
never backing down,
we riding til' we clear out the crowd,
and I got soldiers on the move,
which side you gon' choose,
I'm feeling like that I am the one,
and I can feel it in the wind,
a change is gonna come,
I won't stop til' I'm next to the sun,
I'm just running my life away.

(Black Linen) Verse 1:

Run Baby, don't stop Baby,
this a marathon not a spring baby.
I'm 6 deep in this game baby.
Put respect all on my name baby.
Young grain gripper,
Young bread flipper,
Young go getta, I wan't it all.
Until I got plaques all on the wall.
I'm gunning whether I win, lose, or draw.
I'm riding down I-85,
doing 1 0 5 in a speed boat.
I'm the phantom of the black opera shawdy,
I'm up in smoke, like they seen a ghost.
They wander why I ain't on yet.
I wonder why they ain't at my shows.
They wonder why I don't call em back.
I wonder where they was at before.
Cause I been riding since Day 1,
you just catching up to what I been smoke.
It's time to upgrade to Velvet ropes,
they sleeping on us, we been woke.
We been on, We been grinding.
We still shining, this perfect timing.
I'm still climbing that ladder baby,
you can sacrifice me, I'm still rising.

(LeAnna Singing): Chorus x1

When you hear those trumpets sound,
they can't stop us now,
ain't nobody taking my crown,
and I got lions on the prowl,
never backing down,
we riding til' we clear out the crowd,
and I got soldiers on the move,
which side you gon' choose,
I'm feeling like that I am the one,
and I can feel it in the wind,
a change is gonna come,
I won't stop til' I'm next to the sun,
I'm just running my life away.


(Black Linen) Verse 2:

Run Baby, don't stop baby,
you can get it all if you wan't it all.
Hard work times dedication,
so grounded you could never fall.
Still standing the Great Walls,
Killer whales, no Great Whites.
People talking that's all hype.
Looking down on a brother I'm so apalled,
but I could never stop running,
My daddy told me he gon' hold it down.
I could never stop running,
my mamma told me she was so proud.
I could never stop running,
my brothers told me go the extra mile.
I could never stop running,
I got Usain on speed dial.
I'm running for my life, all day all night,
with the top down riding through the storm.
We done been through the fire,
we done spit it through the wire,
won't stop til' my people get on.
The survivors of the flood,
We done shed a lot of blood,
baptized from the light from the sun,
smoked filled his lungs,
from the barrel of the guns,
now we ride to the beat of the drum.

(LeAnna Singing): Chorus x1

which side you gon' choose,
I'm feeling like that I am the one,
and I can feel it in the wind,
a change is gonna come,
I won't stop til' I'm next to the sun,
I'm just running my life away.

(Black Linen) Verse 3:

Run baby, don't stop baby,
this the last mile don't give it up.
They talk a lot, but they ain't strong enough.
Speak big, ain't bold enough.
Take a lot, don't give enough.
Sleep a lot don't dream enough.
You see the vision, baby it was written.
The 7th sign gon' seal it up.
Receive the ghost, then give it up.
The hour glass filled up with sand.
Let it spill, don't shake it up.
Until we all reach the promise land.
Jah gave us all 2 legs, 1 head, and 2 hands.\
All I need is these 5 tools,
and I can make 700 grand.
Bite the bullet don't bite the hand.
Hate the game, don't hate the man.
Hate the fame, don't hate the fans.
Stay stuck, or take a chance.
Can't nobody tell me what I know I am,
Can't nobody tell me what I know I can.
Can't nobody tell me I know I am the man.
Can't nobody tell me I know I ran.

(LeAnna Singing): Chorus x1

and I got soldiers on the move,
which side you gon' choose,
I'm feeling like that I am the one,
and I can feel it in the wind,
a change is gonna come,
I won't stop til' I'm next to the sun,
I'm just running my life away.
........ oh I been running my life away,
don't call tomorrow, asking about yesterday.
Look left, look right, time it fades away.
