Cm
Boots on the ground
Had enough of this clown
       G#
No, I won't stay 'round
        Fm
Catch a bus, Greyhound
No, I'm not gawkin' back
Turn around, it's a trap
I ain't fallin' for your charm
Put a lock on my heart

Chorus:
         Cm
Ready to run

Ready to run
          Cm
Ready to run

           G#                       Fm
Pack up my runnin' rhyme, no shade, it's time
So I'm ready to run

I'm goin' to a safer place for livin'
I'm runnin', kickin', never scared of screaming
It's hateful here and don't nobody care, I'm shoutin'
Why everybody being savage 'round here?

Chorus:
Ready to run
Ready to run
Ready to run
Pack up my runnin' rhyme, no shade, it's time
So I'm ready to run
Run
Ready to run

Fm                G#
Been down on my knees
Cm               G
Got back up to crawl all over
No more hate interferes
Now that I'm on my feet
I'ma walk, I'ma walk, I'ma walk to the edge, yeah
I'ma run, I'ma run, I'm catching the air
Ain't no slowin' down from here
Ain't no room for shackles, dear
So try to catch up if you dare

Chorus:
Ready to run
Ready to run
Ready to run
Pack up my runnin' rhyme, no shade, it's time
So I'm ready to run
Run, yeah
Ready to run

Ready to run
