Lyrics
Verse 1
Grew up where the sirens sing all night
Mama praying on her knees by the pale lamp light
Hollow points in the hallway like it's nothing new
I was twelve with a backpack and a crooked view
Pre-Chorus
Brother said this road's the only way to eat
But I saw the graveyard calling down the street
Too many stories ended way too soon
I want more than a candle in a borrowed room
Chorus
I'm done running from the thunder in my chest
Gonna build my own kingdom from the wreckage of the rest
Every scar a lesson every bruise a prayer
I'm trading all the chaos for a life that's fair
(I'm done) I'm done running
(I'm done) I'm done running
Drop
Done running
Done running
Done running
(I'm done)
Verse 2
Cold nights empty pockets hollow ground
Traded all my worries for a hopeful sound
Saw my cousin's photo on a candle shelf
Wrote his name across my heart and found myself
Pre-Chorus
Nobody gives you nothing in this world
Gotta carve your own initials when the flags are furled
Too many brothers buried in the clay
I'm breaking every chain that took my youth away
Chorus
I'm done running from the thunder in my chest
Gonna build my own kingdom from the wreckage of the rest
Every scar a lesson every bruise a prayer
I'm trading all the chaos for a life that's fair
(I'm done) I'm done running
(I'm done) I'm done running
Bridge
Came in through the fire came up through the rain
Built my name on honor not on fear and pain
Raise the ones I love up like a morning sun
The war I fought was with myself and now I've won
Chorus
I'm done running from the thunder in my chest
Gonna build my own kingdom from the wreckage of the rest
Every scar a lesson every bruise a prayer
I'm trading all the chaos for a life that's fair
(I'm done) I'm done running
(I'm done) I'm done running
Verse 3 - NBA YoungBoy
Screams in the night turn to silence when it's done
I been countin' losses since I learned to hold a gun
Mama told me pray but the block don't give no grace
Every mirror in this house got a stranger in my face
I seen twenty funerals before I turned eighteen
Now I'm smokin' loud just to numb what I seen
Blood on my Timbs but I'm still gon' walk straight
Tears fall heavy but I dare not let 'em shake
Verse 4 - NBA YoungBoy
I was servin' out the back door, weight on my back
Ducking cameras, ducking twelve, through a bulletproof GMC
They want my soul for a check, I want peace for my kin
But the streets don't owe you nothing when you born to lose again
Tryna shake the ghost that my daddy left behind
But every scar I wear is permanent in my mind
I told my baby I'm gon' make it, promise on my life
Even if I gotta crawl through the devil's door tonight
Chorus
I'm done running from the thunder in my chest
Gonna build my own kingdom from the wreckage of the rest
Every scar a lesson every bruise a prayer
I'm trading all the chaos for a life that's fair
(I'm done) I'm done running
(I'm done) I'm done running
Verse 5 - NoCap
I seen my brother take a life and call it self-defense
That's the type of pain that turn a youngin' into a man
I was trappin' off the iPhone, FaceTimed my regrets
Lost my homie in the morning, he was dead by sunset
I hold onto the memories like they owed me money
But the pain get heavy when the nights get sunny
I wrote these verses just to cope with the violence
Every line I spill is a prayer disguised as silence
Verse 6 - NoCap
I gave my heart to the streets, they gave it back with a scar
I got family in the sky, I be talkin' to the stars
Momma keep the faith like a Bible on her shelf
I'm tryna break the cycle, I just save myself
I done cried enough water to fill the Gulf
I got demons in my closet but I gave 'em all to God
Raised on violence but I'm reaching for the light
If I make it out alive, I'ma stand up right
Post-Chorus - Hook
I'm done
I'm done
I'm done with the pain
I'm done
I'm done
I'm done with the game
Verse 7 - Young Thug
Slime, I came from nothin', now I'm wearing all this blue
If you ain't talkin' billions then I really ain't got time for you
I was in the kitchen whipping work while the youngins caught a body
Now I pull up in a Maybach, I ain't never been a hobby
I done turned my pain to profit, turned my tears to diamonds
Every loss I ever took just made my spirit remind me
They was countin' me out when I was down on the pavement
Now I'm steady with the bag, can't nobody take my placement
Verse 8 - Young Thug
I used to duck the sirens, now the chauffeur drop the curtains
Feds on the wire but they can't decode my version
I got stains on my soul but the money keep it clean
I told my daddy I'ma make it, now I'm up in every scene
They see the watch, they see the car, they don't see the tears
Every bottle that I pop is for them soldiers through the years
I'ma spend it on my family, put my whole city on
From the projects to the world, yeah, I done made it home
Final Chorus
I'm done running from the thunder in my chest
Gonna build my own kingdom from the wreckage of the rest
Every scar a lesson every bruise a prayer
I'm trading all the chaos for a life that's fair
(I'm done) I'm done running
(I'm done) I'm done running
Outro
Yeah
Slatt
I'm done
Yeah
I'm done with the pain
Slatt, yeah
(I'm done)
I made it out
Verse 9 - Young Thug
Slime, I came up from the bottom like a broke wristwatch
Now the ice on my chain make the sunrise stop
I was duckin' bullets, now I'm duckin' all these fake smiles
Niggas wanna be your friend when you walkin' on they decimal files
I told my granny I'ma make it, she said baby keep the faith
Now I'm buyin' her a mansion, put the whole block on the plate
Every time I close my eyes I see the trenches in the rearview
But the Lord took me through the fire so the whole world gon' view
Verse 10 - NBA YoungBoy
I ain't been the same since they laid my brother low
I be talkin' to the grave every time I'm in the cold
Got the same scars as my daddy, tryna break the chain
But the trauma run deep like the water in the rain
I be ridin' through my city with the windows tinted low
Every corner got a memory, every block got a ghost
I seen my momma cry quiet, I ain't never say a word
Now I'm rappin' through the pain every single thing I heard
Million on my mind but the devil on my back
I keep prayin' to the sky, hoping heaven cut me slack
Chorus
I'm done running from the thunder in my chest
Gonna build my own kingdom from the wreckage of the rest
Every scar a lesson every bruise a prayer
I'm trading all the chaos for a life that's fair
(I'm done) I'm done running
(I'm done) I'm done running
Verse 11 - NoCap
I remember sleepless nights with a semi on the dresser
Nigga, karma on the clock and it never take a recess
I done seen my homies fall for a couple dozen dollars
Now I'm pourin' liquor down the drain, watchin' tears holler
I was taught to keep my mouth shut, don't you ever snitch
But that silence got expensive when they buried my lil' bitch
I wrote these songs like therapy, every bar a confession
Every line is a scar, every verse is a lesson
I'm the product of the trap but I'm greater than the sum
Made a promise to my brotherβI'ma see his kingdom come
Verse 12 - Young Thug
Yeah, slatt
I got my foot on they neck and my hand on the wheel
I was countin' up the money while they countin' how I feel
Used to see them shadows in the hallway duckin' from the law
Now I see the stars on the ceiling, that's the way it oughta draw
I done flooded out the AP, now the time is on my wrist
Still I carry every brother in the darkness that I kissed
Got the gas, got the pack, got the flip, it's in the blood
Came from servin' out the back to pullin' up where Sunset flood
I'ma die by my principles, I'm thuggin' till the grave
But the legacy I'm leavin' got my whole city saved
Bridge
Came from dirt, made a glow out the mud
Turned my tears to a river now I'm swimmin' in the flood
I ain't perfect, I got stains that the water can't erase
But I'm building me a future from the ashes of the base
Hold my family close, keep my enemies closer
Every blessing that I got, yeah, I know I didn't loan her
Give my all to the ones who stood beside me in the cold
Now I'm turnin' every winter to a summer made of gold
Final Chorus
I'm done running from the thunder in my chest
Gonna build my own kingdom from the wreckage of the rest
Every scar a lesson every bruise a prayer
I'm trading all the chaos for a life that's fair
(I'm done) I'm done running
(I'm done) I'm done running
Verse 13 - NBA YoungBoy
I been carryin' this weight since I was just a minor
Whole family in the trenches, I was raisin' up the higher
I told my little brother, we gon' make it out alive
If we gotta crawl through hell, we gon' come back baptized
I seen death right in my face, I blinked and kept it movin'
Got a gun tucked on my waist while I'm prayin' to the ceiling
But I ain't crazy, I'm just cautious, this the world they gave me
If I fall, I fall fighting, leave my name up in the navy
I done gave up half my heart to the streets that took the rest
But I'm still the one who's standing with the bulletproof vest
Outro
Yeah
Slime, we made it
From the trenches to the top
(I'm done)
Slatt
I'm done with the pain
I'm done with the rain
(I'm done running)
Yeah
Every scar, every tear
Built me to who I am
(I'm done)
Yeah
We ain't finished yet
Slatt, slatt
(I'm done running)
I made it out the mud
