Run for Your Life Songtext
von Burning Spear

I′m just a man, not a rich man, a Rastaman
Yes, we did up business together
And we pretty understand each other
Why sticking me up for an extra?

I got to run, run, run for my life
I got to run from those wicked guys
I'm just a man, not a rich man, a Rastaman

Yes, I always like to trust a lot of ones
But it seems to me like something′s going wrong

I got to run, run, run for my life
I got to run from those wicked guys
I'm just a man, not a rich man, a Rastaman

Yes, the music business is not like before
Distribution gets so desperate
You got to be careful during the distribution
Without them the artists there is no company

I got to run, run, run for my life
I got to run from those wicked guys
I'm just a man, not a rich man, a Rastaman


Yes, records, sure, pretty soon everyone will own
And everyone will be selling their own internet

I got to run, run, run for my life
I got to run from those wicked guys
I′m just a man, not a rich man, a Rastaman

Yes, upcoming artists, you should take your stand
Get some understanding before you sign
A likkle later, they say, "You are mine"

I got to run, run, run for my life
I got to run from those wicked guys
I′m just a man, not a rich man, a Rastaman

Yes, you got to be careful dealing with the business
Can never, can't tell what might kill your image
Yes, the seed you sow, the food you eat

I got to run, run, run for my life
I got to run from those wicked guys
I′m just a man, not a rich man, a Rastaman

People try to put themselves in your peaceful life
And want all the attention for them own lives


I got to run, run, run for my life
I got to run from those wicked guys
I'm just a man, not a rich man, a Rastaman

People like to act their own way as fast as they can
Them brutalize people as quick as they can

I got to run, run, run for my life
I got to run from those wicked guys
I′m just a man, not a rich man, a Rastaman

Yes, in your home sometimes they will cut you down
You got to stand up firm and own your ground

Yes, the music business is not like before
Distribut-

Internet

I got to run, run, run for my life
I got to run from those wicked guys
