You Ain't Runnin With My Rhythm

Got me a rhyme with a reason roll it roll it  Story bout the heart, how somebody stole it  Maybe it was me; I had a lot to learn about love an survival  Took a journey through the bible  Came across a verse about Adam an eve an how she tempted him huh! would you believe?  Yeah, sweetness is a weakness that’s where I went wrong  But I’m back coming up stronger an this is my song.  Look at ya self in the mirror, see it, free it  Don’t like what ya looking at ya don’t have to be it,  Anger is a waste; it’s like a disease, that man will have ya feeling  Once he takes ya to the ceiling.  Turns around an walks an leaves ya with the fall  Ya won’t see his face again, he won’t bother to call  Ya loving is the kind that I don’t wanna play  I’m back coming up stronger an doing it my way  ---x---  You ain't running with my rhythm, ain't messing with my rhyme  Ain't banging on my bass drum, no not for a second time  Ain't running with my rhythm, ain't strumming on my strings  You ain't messing with my music coz it’s my thing  Yeah my thing.  ---x---  Focus on a beat take it out in to the street  Share it with ya friends yeah, dancing in the street heat,  Good, regain ya self esteem, you ain't taking me down again  Ya know what I mean?  Coz I’m strong, I learnt how to get along  The father lent his shoulder for me to rest my head upon  Safe in the sound I lost but then I found  Back to the roots yeah, back to the home ground  Out of the muddle that started with a cuddle  Mentally bashed and bruised you end up in a huddle  But now peace, yeah, I got inner peace  I know where I’m at an it feels like bliss  Well you can come back but you can’t take that  I’m here coming up singing an you can’t touch this.  ---x---  You ain't running with my rhythm ain't messing with my rhyme  Ain't banging on my bass drum no not for a second time  Ain't running with my rhythm ain't strumming on my strings  Ain't messing with my music coz it’s my thing  Yeah my thing.  ---x---  If music be your saviour  If god give you the beat  Don’t let the energy grind you down  Use it to stay up on your feet  ---x---  You ain't running with my rhythm ain't messing with my rhyme  Ain't banging on my bass drum no not for a second time  Ain't running with my rhythm ain't strumming on my strings  You ain't messing with my music  Coz it’s my thing  You ain't running with my rhythm ain't messing with my rhyme  Ain't banging on my bass drum, no not for a second time  Ain't running with my rhythm, ain't strumming on my strings  You ain't messing with my music  Coz it’s my thing, yeah my thing, my thing. ---x---
