lyrics

RUN ON SENTENCE


1st VERSE

How can we know for sure
If we should move forward.
How can we know if we should stop in our tracks
And never look back.
How can we know if this love here will last.
Without first, letting love become fact.
How can we know if the feeling is right
If we don't let our hearts see the daylight?


CHORUS

Don't argue with what it is.
Just gotta let life be
Knowing theres a purpose.
I can't ever say
what could not have been since
Life is like a "run on sentence"
and it'll go on
It'll go on
You'll see soon.
It'll go on, it'll go on. You'll see
And we'll see.
Period.

2nd VERSE:

What if this here is something special?
But you can't see it cuz your fears won't let you.
What if we've found a relief from the strain.
But can't explain it cuz we're so used to the pain
inside. Can't hide, I'm so new to this.
And I'm used to it, going wrong.
I'm not that strong. Somebody sing it with me.

CHORUS

Don't argue with what it is.
Just gotta let life be
Knowing theres a purpose.
I can't ever say
what could not have been since
Life is like a run on sentence
and it'll go on
It'll go on
You'll see soon.
It'll go on, it'll go on. You'll see
And we'll see.
Period.

ZAIMAH'S RAP

I gotta make a decision
tryna make it with precision
got no time for errors
so I gotta pray everyday.
I need for God to guide me
Feed me within like IV's
Raise me up like I'm highly
Favored and I'm strivin.
Lately its been so messy.
I need your help so bless me.
Without my sons its hectic
I stay inside like exits.
And abstinence is hard.
I know you hear me God.
They huntin please so protect me.
Not frontin please but don't let me.
Miss out in life.
Pick me pick me alright.
I swear I'mma win this fight
Though this fight may take all night.
Patience will not go wrong.
Patience will not go wrong.
Like the words to this song.
My life will go, on and on.

CHORUS

Don't argue with what it is.
Just gotta let life be
Knowing theres a purpose.
I can't ever say
what could not have been since
Life is like a run on sentence
and it'll go on
It'll go on
You'll see soon.
It'll go on, it'll go on. You'll see
And we'll see.
Period.
