MARATHON Songtext
von Marlon Craft

"cuz i been dreamin′ of epiphanies, hopin' that they get to me
on my shoulders mini-me′s garnering my sympathy
all they want is love,
i know that's enough now

used to think i needed enemies, jus wanted some empathy
turns out i actually am tough as i'd pretend to be
found it in the love
i know i′m enough now

cuz what′s a feelin but a moment? (yeah)
all these feelings i was holdin, in
baby that's just time lost
baby that′s a high cost
cuz what's a feelin but a moment?
so i been out here tryna own it, shit
promise i′m gon try hard
but my god, everybody get tired in a marathon
but we gotta carry on, thank god it's a marathon
lotta baggage in that carry-on


i done lost soo many moments to the anger
tryna cover up the places where the pains where
fight or flight of soul mine always felt in danger
life dealt me a hand, i jus said bet but truth is
i aint wanna wager, i need me a sure thing
so i bet on me now, baby i′m maturing
holes in my soul they was cryin' out for nurturing
had to let go of all the judgement that the world bring
and sing it one time, yeah,
your voice dont always sound like how you thought when you find it,
you only get one clock it dont stop can't rewind it
you carry on wit baggage til you realize you the pilot
i′m lookin in the mirror on some fly shit
there′s certain things in life i wanted faster til i realized
it's all about timin′, failure come it's all about tryin
ain′t no ticket to life you can't buy it

cuz what′s a feelin but a moment? (yeah)
all these feelings i was holdin, in
baby that's just time lost
baby that's a high cost
cuz what′s a feelin but a moment?
so i been out here tryna own it, shit
promise i′m gon try hard
but my god, everybody get tired in a marathon
but we gotta carry on, thank god it's a marathon
lotta baggage in that carry-on"
