8 Miles And Running Lyrics

by Jay Z  Freeway



Yeah Renegades is back and the beat is sick,

Jay Z, Freeway, 8 Miles,

let's go...



Verse 1

8
miles and running, got my 7 album droppin,

And my 8 album coming,

Feedin a thousand growling stomachs,

But I could rewind the counter ta
back, back,

When it was now or nothing,

People said I would amount
to nothing,

That I had time for nothing,

Said I wasn't from the
valers

or the sellers by your gunman,

I can see the folks now he
got what he had coming,

Now that my 8th album's coming,

Everybody
smiling wanting something,

claiming that they done something for em,

got Jay Z and pom poms in they whole uniforms,

claiming they be
running and telling everybody like Martin Lawrence,

about how hot my rap
performace was before I was who I was,

claimin that they threw it up
before I threw it up, you what..

Where was you before I blew this up,

I didn't see you in the courtroom when everyone was suein us,

I didn't
see you in all black when everybody was suitin up,

back on the block,
kickin it in and it was no you with us,



CHORUS

8 miles and
running, got my 7 album droppin,

and my 8 album coming,

feedin a
thousand growling stomachs, freaks...

6 miles and running got my fist
straight poppin,

and my first album coming feedin 20 promises I made



(Repeat)



Verse 2

while the engine run,

anyone turn around

and give me one more chance,

let em smoke and
scream em one more grams,

so i'm a bring them, homie, son and my pop,

stick close to my momma, keep toasters for drama,

mix alot with my
son, my son growin and he learnin alot,
