Keep on running by Bez

For one of the first times in am life I got nothin to say,
I came home from my birthday and did nothin but prey,
On ma knees talkin to Jesus hopin he was wide awake,
While I asked him for forgiveness, tears lined ma face,
Just been fightin with a friend, throwin proper punches,
I was on the deck demandin respect hearin notin but crunches,
Didn't know what to do my mind was all stressed out,
I've neglected him for years but when I asked...shit, he helped me out,
Feel trapped in this petty beef, old friends startin war,
Girlfriends jumpin from lad to lad, end up hurtin em all,

(Hook) Respect ain't nothin if your respected for droppin,
Throwin punches through the air without thinkin or stoppin,
I ain't one for copyin I try to be myself in life,
But if I gotta fight I'll fight but not for reason's like,
...that dude looked at me funny..or...
... bein jealous of another brothers money...
The dumb excuses can keep on coming,
Cos I'd rather be called a coward knowin I'm the one with power,
Thats why in the quest for strength I keep on running,

We should be side by side strong but now backs against the wall,
We was all goin out together a few months ago, now look at us all,
Feel like Malcolm in the middle cos I love my friends to death,
But I don't feel I gotta fight to show em all respect,
If they wanna act like animals, fine, they just gotta accept,
"That respect ain't given for the harder you punch", quote the morals of Bez,
I ain't into street scuffles, I'm an intelligent warrior,
Rather use my brain to solve problems, ain't gotta be no follower,
Ain't prepared to injure a face to put someone in there place,
Sat for days in discgrace last time, so you know I've learned from ma past mistakes,
Wish that boy well I just snapped and God knows I'm so sorry,
Shouldnt of attacked and I hope to God he knows I'm sorry,
I remember that fight vagly, his friend verballed attacked my image,
My friend dropped his ass and that should of been that, finished,
But I hit an innocent person just because he was there,
When I realised what I was doing, it was like somebody held ma fist in the air,

(Hook) Respect ain't nothin if your respected for droppin,
Throwin punches through the air without thinkin or stoppin,
I ain't one for copyin I try to be myself in life,
But if I gotta fight I'll fight but not for reason's like,
...that dude looked at me funny..or...

I've stooped so low in life over the past year or so,
Liqor has been involved in all the incidents, want another drink, I just cant say no,
Its mo'spirits mo problems, that seems the way this shit goes,
Why this shits legal in the first place...shit God only knows,
I gotta start to choose options more carefully cos I don't wanna loose,
Fuck respect, fuck crews, if you don't understand the message, fuck you's!,
If my friends got love for me they'll understand my p.o.v,
Cos all it takes is a well landed smack and cracked skulls mean r.i.p,
I don't want that shit to be me, but friends just don't wanna listen,
Instead of leavin situations as they are, they keep stirrin an shittin,
Shits buildin upto a point when eventually shits gunna drop,
Respect's gunna be forgot and love's gunna stop on our block,
We gotta taste of it the other night, me and my buddys vicious street fight,
And I don't wanna be this young and loose a friend to this street life,
Shit ain't right, but hey, if they don't want to listen then what can I do?,
But I don't wanna be this young and tellin God I'm missin the only friends I knew,

(Hookx2) Respect ain't nothin if your respected for droppin,
Throwin punches through the air without thinkin or stoppin,
