9. RUNNIN’ OUT OF TIME
Words and music by Elijah Jalil
Runnin’ out of time
We runnin’ out of time
You runnin’ out of time
I’m runnin’ out of time
Runnin’ out of time
We runnin’ out of time
You runnin’ out of time
I’m runnin’ out of time
Runnin’ out of time
Runnin’ out of time
Runnin’ out of
Runnin’ out
Runnin’
Run
(You better run muthafucka)
I can feel the pressure I can feel it all around me
If it keeps coming it is gonna compound me
Will it stop soon? That’s very unlikely
Will I give up? Yo, that’s very unlike me
I can feel the pressure I can feel it all around me
If it keeps coming it is gonna compound me
Will it stop soon? That’s very unlikely
Will I give up? Yo, that’s very unlike me
Runnin’ out of time
Runnin’ out of time
Runnin’ out of
Runnin’ out
Runnin’
Run
(You better run muthafucka)
I feel like I’m runnin all the time
That shit was handed down like a fuckin hand me down, yeah
Don’t know why I’m runnin all the time
But it gets me where I’m going, so how can I complain?
I feel like I’m runnin all the time
That shit was handed down like a fuckin hand me down, yeah
Don’t know why I’m runnin all the time
But it gets me where I’m going, so how can I complain?
How can I complain?
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Runnin, runnin, runnin, but I can’t stop runnin
yeah I’m outside, but I ain’t the function
The government don’t own me, can’t tell me nothin
Nah, nah, they can’t tell me nothin
They on that fuck shit
Better duck, shit,
Here come the bullets and all of the bullshit
Better move, get out my way
I didn’t come to play
Get the fuck out my face
I ain’t come to complain, no
It’s all part of the game, bro
Something wrong my brain, no
But I’m goin insane, okay
Aimin for the fame
Pushin through the pain
Hidin all your shame
Tuck it all away
Nobody sees cuz they all enemies
And they schemin and plottin to leave you no options
Run, jump, and steal
You think that’s all I do, forreal
Everybody has potential to lie, cheat, n kill
That’s the deal
You heard me, it’s all part of the journey
Don’t stop believing and you can achieve it.
Just check how you perceive it
Runnin’ out of time
Runnin’ out of time
Runnin’ out of
Runnin’ out
Runnin’
Run
(You better run muthafucka)
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

I never get sick of listening. Courtney is an amazing writer. Her lyrics don't waste a single word. She could carry this whole EP with just the strength of her voice & guitar, but her band rocks too! Britt Arnesen
Missoula songwriters Maria Zepeda and Elijah Jalil have made absolute magic. I was honored to be in the room when this music was laid down by these fine old souls. It is my new favorite album! Britt Arnesen
