Gil Scott-Heron, Makaya McCraven - Running

[00:02.58] Because I always feel like running [00:06.05] Not away, because there is no such place [00:09.92] Because, if there was I would have found it by now [00:13.71] Because it's easier to run [00:15.42] Easier than staying and finding out you're the only one [00:18.99] Who didn't run [00:21.27] Because running will be the way your life and mine [00:23.95] Will be described [00:25.84] As in "the long run" [00:28.31] Or as in having given someone "A run for his money" [00:31.55] Or as in "running out of time" (Time, time, time, time, time) [00:40.01] Because running makes me look like everyone else [00:42.08] Though I hope there will ever because for that [00:45.76] Because I will be running in the other direction [00:48.78] Not running for cover [00:50.54] Because if I knew where cover was [00:52.48] I would stay there and never have to run for it [00:56.42] Because the thing I fear cannot be escaped [00:59.85] Eluded, avoided, hidden from, protected from, gotten away from [01:05.76] Not without showing the fear as I see it now [01:10.31] Because closer, clearer, no sir, nearer [01:14.25] Because of you and because of that nice [01:17.76] That you quietly, quickly be causing [01:21.03] (Because I always feel like running) [01:25.78] And because you're going to see me run soon [01:28.54] And because you're going to know why I'm running then [01:31.29] You'll know then [01:32.92] Because I'm not going to tell you now [01:41.24] (Because I always feel like running) [01:58.88]
