Stic.man - Runners High Lyrics

[Bridge]A journey of a thousand miles begins one step at a time [RUN]I refuse to sit back on the side and let life keep passing me by [RUN]Pushing forward at a comfortable pace, the race is not for the swift I just take it in strideBoth feet on the ground, but it feel like I'm touching the skyNo drug in my veins I got a Runner's High[Verse 1: Stic.Man]I put my soul on the concrete, the rhythm of my breath controls my heart beatAdrenaline pumping, leg muscles workingI take off on the runway, the asphalt is my airportBut I fly with my feet on the floorGet away for an hour or moreWhen I run I can feel the breezeI feel free and at easeLike a bird flying over the seaLike an African Gazelle running wild and freeI see the dirt roads in Kenya, the Masai's feetAnd its the same blood that runs through meWhen it feels like I'm running on emptyOr running out of timeOr stress keep running through my mindI resolve to continueKeep my chest up pushing forwardOverstanding everything has to run it's courseMy legs are my wings they allow me to soar and endure[Chorus]This life is a journeySome will go and some are comingLike a river keeps on runningFind a wayThis life is a journeySome will go and some are comingOn the path forever learningStay in the race[Verse 2: Stic.Man]Put, one foot in front of the otherHit the ground running the streets under the rubberRunning through the hood, sewage running through the gutterKids growing up hungry with barely running waterI see the little brother, little league pop warnerWanna' be a running back, its just him and his motherNo father, and she knows if he run on the corner he gonnerSo the football field is where he running for coverWe all running in some form or anotherIf not to score a touchdown just to go a step furtherWatch the hurdlesRemember the rabbit moved fast but he came in last after the turtleI won't waste my time running in circlesI know where I'm going and I'mma get there with focusI go for the goal like Jackie JoynerThe race is not for the swift, its a test of endurance[Chorus][Female voice talking on running]It's a mind and body connection[RUN]Yes it is a painful journey, at timesAnd adrenaline is running and if your calves are killing youWhat you wanna' thinkStrugglingWhat you wanna' think instead of Wow this is really difficult I'm having a tough timeWhat you wanna' think is I'm giving it my allIf you're having a particularly hard race you try to picture, focus on somebody in front of you. Pretend like they're pulling you up, like giving you a rope like getting you there, getting you over that hill, up and over[Bridge]A journey of a thousand miles begins one step at a timeI refuse to sit back on the side and let life keep passing me byPushing forward at a comfortable pace, the race is not for the swift I just take it in strideBoth feet on the ground, but it feel like I'm touching the skyNo drug in my veins I got a Runner's High[Chorus] ft Martin Luther adlibs
