about

This song is inspired by the killing of Ahmaud Arbery. I was really angry watching countless videos of unarmed young black folks lives being snatched away in seconds.
I didn't want to write a song appealing to the listener on how innocent he was. If you think it's okay for someone to die that way then we done!

lyrics

Oya run run run for your life
Maybe you fit make am this time
If they come come come for your life
No one ever said you gonna make am this night

Mama had to raise me with a pen tho
Thought me how to walk and how to say no
Never be the corner boy on rico
Low key, Kilo
This is one shot Imma take tho
Imma run run with my head low
watch out for the crooked cops on payroll
Living large, living large, this is how the day goes

Oya run run run for your life
Maybe you fit make am this time
If they come come come for your life
No one ever said you gonna make am this night

Mama caught me on Ashanti
She said my baby helpless and unhappy
Big big dreams gotta buy her a camrey
Thinking buying her an apartment in the calis
Now I'm running for my life in an alley
Breathing to fast like I'm missing the finale
Yeah, spiritually connecting to my family
Letting them know I can see d panthers on d palm trees, yikes

Oya run run run for your life
Maybe you fit make am this time
If they come come come for your life
No one ever said you gonna make it this night

We can see you running with a halo
Just wishing you would lay low
Fighting from the get go
Justice was no show
We were running with you Arbery
Fear pumping in our artries
1 shot, 2 shots, 3 for running
On ur marks, on ur marks, fuck it now we marching

Oya run run run for your life
Maybe you fit make am this time
If they come come come for your life
No one ever said you gonna make it this night

We were running with you that day Arbery
Those 3 shots hit us
You know why?
Cuz we spiritually connected
Rest in Peace
