RUN ME DOWN
Irreplaceable Ambitions: Run Me Down with INFAMOUSIZAK
Lyrics
It would be much easier if I were basic
Expressing a desire to make life easier by conforming to a basic lifestyle.
But darling I can’t be no basic
Declaring an unwillingness to be basic; rejecting conformity.
Go find a bruddah in a suit and replace me
Suggesting the option to find someone more conventional in a suit to replace the speaker.
But regardless of your choice I’m irreplaceable
Asserting the speaker's belief in being irreplaceable despite the choice made.
Ooh maybe I should hang this up now
Contemplating the idea of giving up or quitting.
Nah dead that man soon be up now
Rejecting the idea of giving up, stating that success will come soon.
No I can’t let no other bruddah run this town
Claiming dominance in the town and not allowing others to take control.
And if you see me slacking better
Warning against observing any decline in the speaker's performance.
Run me down, run me down,
Reiterating the importance of being held accountable and asking to be criticized if the speaker is not meeting expectations.
If I’m slipping run me down,
-If I’m slacking run me down,
-Run me, run me, Yeah run me down
-She gonna buss it when I buss it down
Describing a scenario where a woman will reciprocate when the speaker achieves success and accumulates wealth.
Get that money tuck that money like it’s lost and found
-It would go down easier if I would chase it
Expressing a preference for an easier path in pursuing goals.
Bad boy so you know we don’t chase it
Identifying as a "bad boy" who doesn't pursue things but waits for the fruits of labor.
Fruit of my labour baby yeah I’m tryna taste it
Desiring the results of hard work and effort.
Just a sample size I’ve had and I need more
Expressing a need for more experiences or achievements.
I swear I’m working on my vision babe be patient
Stating a commitment to personal growth and asking for patience.
Gone back on words a thousand times I know it’s hard
Acknowledging the difficulty in asking for patience but expressing good intentions.
I know it isn’t fair to tell you to be waiting
-But my intentions are reflection of my heart
-Maybe I should just hang this up now
Contemplating the idea of quitting but affirming the determination to finish what was started.
No Baby mi haffi finish what mi start
-No No I can’t let no other bruddah run this town
Asserting control over the town and not allowing others to take charge.
And if you see me slacking better
(Repetition of previous lines for emphasis)
Run me down, Run me down
-If I’m slipping run me down
-If I’m slacking run me down
-Run me, run me, yeah run me down

-Get that money tuck that money like it’s lost and found
-Run me down, run me down
-If I’m slipping run me down

Maybe you should just embrace it
