Lyrics
Run Peter, Run
Written by: Pierre Johnson
(Verse 1)He was only just dreaming, a lifestyle fully equip/ 600 benz when he ride out, clutching the shift/ but he working everyday, second job double shift/ no Steve Jobs this is iWork honing you in/ he wanted power, played a game he thought he could win/ hoped in the shower, and said that he would be there by 10/ they was ready, hot and heavy, loaded up the Desi/ the set up was sweet, but they aint know that he was ready/ he came out blazing, grabbing up the money and the ounce of the Reagan/ nothing on his mind, but how long it was taking/ get back to the side, where he could hide the payment/ and get up out of town, a newfound life placement/ but first he got get back to his grandmothers basement/ so he can lay low until his Pan Am engagement/ catch him if you can, my man be Matt Damon/ run, run, yo Peter run.
(Verse 2)Airport coasting, never looked behind him/ flying to a place where they could never find him/ changed his whole style up, something more designer/ living in a place, were foreign faces can remind ya/ of someone back home, though he could never go back/ they tearing through the city to find him, and he know that/ he had to put that city behind him, like a throw back/ only forward motion, moving on like a nomad/ But they were on to him, taking quick flights for the killing/ they looking for that money, duffle bag full of millions/ eyes full of murder, heart full of propane/ head full of fire, looking for the cocain/ Peter catch a plane, catch a bus, catch a train/ they got loaded mac 11, and they gunning for ya brain/ maintain partner, even though its so insane/ cause in the end every bad thing change, so run Peter run.
(Verse 3)New place new face, grow his hair out/ go the straight and clear route/ work a 9 to 5 as a high school hero/ teach the kids how to survive in this world/ and tell them everything aint diamonds and pearls/ or keep it low key, steady watching for those who want dispose he/ cause he could barley escape the fate up on heem/ but he had to migrate for his well being/ he could never flock with birds cause they gone sing/ sing a song death, and that's what its gone bring/ He needed clarity, some thoughtful charity to give his mind peace/ at least, to quiet the beast he's yet to unleash/ run faster, look at Peter go/ enjoying life as it passes cause he never knows/ the day, when it will come to an end/ Please God, forgive him for his sins, Run Peter run.
