Run Brother
I’m running—100 miles a minute.
I’m still running—now I’m at 200 miles a minute.
I ain’t gonna stop.
I ain’t gonna stop.
300 miles a minute—
Who could catch me now?
I’m in a different time zone,
400 miles a minute—still going.
I’m running—
And no, I’m not The Flash.
I’m running my dash.
500 miles a minute.
In my rearview, I see dust—
I smoked them all.
Faster than a speeding bullet—
Pew pew, pew pew!
I’m in a race against time—
600 miles a minute.
I’m so fast when I blow past,
They can’t breathe.
Look, look!
Lightning McQueen ain’t got nothing on me.
700 miles a minute.
I see myself as I pass myself.
In the present of myself,
I dap myself.
My past self tells my future self:
Keep going.
So I’m running—
800 miles a minute.
We are not the same.
Your lanes and my lanes?
Not the same.
It’s too fast in this lane.
The way I’m moving—
You dudes can’t keep up.
900 miles a minute—
I’ve seen it all.
Done it all.
Said all I can say.
You watched me pass by—
1,000 miles a minute.
And you still ain’t caught on yet.
Run, brother.
Run, brother.
Heartbeat
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock—
That’s the sound of my heartbeat
when I’m sitting around doing nothing.
My brain becomes the small hand on the clock,
my heartbeat the big hand,
beating with every passing second.
My eyes watch the hours drift away.
Boom baba, boom baba, boom baba, boom—
That’s the sound of my heartbeat
warning me of danger.
The hairs on the back of my neck rise,
my eyes open wider,
my fists clench tight,
ready for war.
Lalalalala, lalalala, lalalalala—
That’s the sound of my heartbeat
when love, peace, and prosperity embrace me.
My mind opens to new ideas,
my heartbeat transformed,
becoming one with the most powerful force in the world:
Love.
Zzzzzzzzzzz, zzzzzzzzzzz, zzzzzzzzzzz—
That’s the sound of my heartbeat
when I’m sleeping,
dreaming of imaginary imaginations,
of the past, the present,
and the future—
things to come, things gone, things lost.
My heartbeat when I’m sleeping,
my heartbeat when I’m thinking,
my heartbeat when I’m loving,
my heartbeat when I’m fighting.
My heartbeat for me.
I bet yours does too.
