Running This Race (feat. Geo the Architect & Buck Barnabas)

Running this... running... running... we're running this race
Running... we're running this... running... running... we're running this race...
That's right we're running this race
We're running because we've already conquered death
So we're reppin' God until the day we take our last breath

They tried to slow me down, yea they threw some hurdles at me
They tried to make me seat, yea they threw some thermals on me
They tried to make me doubt, like if my name was Thomas
Feels like I've been through hell fam, I'm just being honest
They shot some flaming arrows, they tried to take me down
They even took some cheap shots while I was on the ground
But in the midst of pain, I have eternal life
This tunnel's long, but at the end, I know I will see light
That's why I running hard, I'm pressing towards the mark
So take your shots, I got the truth embedded in my heart
No weapon formed against me will ever prosper
My crew is strong, yea we got a ridiculous roster
See we're moving forward, we call that perseverance
It's more than words, it goes beyond just an outer appearance
With God, I know where my foundation is...
This isn't a religion, it's a relationship
This is what Paul wrote to the Corinthians...
If you isn't been running, let the race begin

Running this... running... running... we're running this race
Running... we're running this... running... running... we're running this race...
That's right we're running this
We're running with our eyes on the prize
And we're born again, so we're running with resurrected life
Running this... running... running... we're running this race
Running... we're running this... running... running...
We're running this race... that's right we're running this
We're running because we've already conquered death
So we're reppin' God until the day we take our last breath

We're staying focused, approaching the kingdom, his throne is golden
We representing Christ and we're overthrowing all these locusts
Surrounding all our cities, their planning to just control us
By infiltrating sin through our flesh and they try to mold us
Bringing all this terror then causing all this calamity
Suffering in sin and then killing, it's all insanity
Face it, it's a tragedy, knowing demons can damage me
If I'm not staying focused or plugged in the Spirit's battery
It's time to arise above temptation and the lusts
We're moving forward like a solider declaring, "We had enough"
We're making moves in the Spirit, critics don't want to hear it
Most don't get it, just a few like a remnant inherits heaven
But faith in His name, His love will cause you to change
Overcomers we're becoming, displaying it on this day
Don't refuse when you've been called into this wilderness
In Christ's name we're taking charge, knowing we've been built for this...Hold it down!

Running this... running... running... we're running this race
Running... we're running this... running... running... we're running this race...
That's right we're running this
We're running with our eyes on the prize
And we're born again, so we're running with resurrected life
Running this... running... running... we're running this race
Running... we're running this... running... running... we're running this race...
That's right we're running this
We're running because we've already conquered death
So we're reppin' God until the day we take our last breath

Yea, still running like the cops coming
Aiming for my head, so I duck like some shots coming
Persecution for the righteous, we're going to die by it
Same corner almost took my life, now I ride by it
Cup runneth over, grace and mercy pouring
Good news, Christ saves, salvation like some good insurance
Geico or Gecko, man I'm so direct though
My faith like a game dog, I bite down, don't let go
Keeps scratching, this a marathon
Certified kingdom citizen affiliate I'm no American
Hard-pressed, still we press toward the mark
For the prize that's in Christ, sin's what kept us apart
Made God turn His back to Him, His blood brought us back to Him
Reconciled the hearts of men with love like a vacuum
The call goes out, but they reject it, that's the process
I'm weak, but made perfect that's the purpose, that's some progress

Running this... running... running... we're running this race
Running... we're running this... running... running... we're running this race...
That's right we're running this
We're running with our eyes on the prize
And we're born again, so we're running with resurrected life
Running this... running... running... we're running this race
Running... we're running this... running... running...
We're running this race... that's right we're running this
We're running because we've already conquered death
So we're reppin' God until the day we take our last breath
