Running on Low

[Intro] (Yeah) Moonlight on the dash, city humming like a lullaby If I don’t bet on me, who gon’ put it on the line? [Breakdown] I been running on low, still I’m doing the most I don’t talk to too many, keep my circle a ghost Had to cut off the noise just to hear my own voice Now the diamonds too loud, but it feel like a choice I was down by myself, had to learn how to float Now I’m up by myself, never needed a post All that love turned to smoke when they needed a toast I been running on low, but I’m still in control [Verse 1] Late night, tinted windows, I’m alone with my flaws Silent wins, private flights—never show ‘em the logs They was cool for the pics, never there for the cost Funny how they disappear when you tally the loss Heart cold, but the wrist on fever (fever) [Interlude] Told God, “If I slip, be my seatbelt” I been stacking every doubt like a step stool [Verse 1] Turned pressure to a check, now I step smooth I don’t flex much—let the life talk New heights, had to pay with the night thoughts Same ones who ain’t ride wanna drive now But the keys only fit in my lifestyle [Down verse] If I ever go silent, I’m upgrading the plan Turned the pain into product, made it fit in my hands I know trust is a loan, and they missin’ the bands I been good on my own, that’s the part they can’t stand [Breakdown] I been running on low, still I’m doing the most I don’t talk to too many, keep my circle a ghost Had to cut off the noise just to hear my own voice Now the diamonds too loud, but it feel like a choice [Interlude] I was down by myself, had to learn how to float [Hook] Now I’m up by myself, never needed a post All that love turned to smoke when they needed a toast I been running on low, but I’m still in control [Verse 2] New phone got a list I don’t ever reply Only call that I answer is the one from inside Used to dream ‘bout a chain—now it’s weight on my mind [Down verse] So I stash it in a safe, let the freedom unwind They want game, but they never want the practice They want fame, but they never want the taxes [Verse 2] I want peace, so I learned about the balance Private room, chef plates, keep it silent If it’s love, don’t announce it, just prove it If it’s up, don’t pronounce it, just do it Had to take a couple Ls, but I grew ‘em Now the wins feel calm, I’ve been coolin’ [Bridge] (Yeah) I was low fuel, no pit stop Turned a slow burn to a lift-off Took the backstreets to the big lot Now it’s paid dues on a wristwatch If you ain’t there when my tank hit E Don’t try to ride when the tank on free I got lanes I don’t let folks see Only God, only fam, only me [Hook] I been running on low, still I’m doing the most I don’t talk to too many, keep my circle a ghost Had to cut off the noise just to hear my own voice Now the diamonds too loud, but it feel like a choice [Refrain] I was down by myself, had to learn how to float Now I’m up by myself, never needed a post All that love turned to smoke when they needed a toast I been running on low, but I’m still in control [Outro] Moonlight on the dash, and I’m fine with the ride If I only got me, that’s enough for the climb (for the climb) Running on low, but the vision so high.
