Running Battle Lyrics

All lyin across the ground
Try not to make no sound
When two men goin break ya down
Two men goin break ya down, I breathe
All lyin across the ground
Try not to make no sound
When two men goin break ya down, I said
Two men goin break ya down, I breathe

I take down what I need
Cause you know I need to breathe
I'm tired of walking on another plane
Another plane cause I feel insane, I...
Step back to get to you
Cut back I'm fallin through
Another day I feel the same
I'm cutting and I'm bleeding here with you

All lyin across the ground
Try not to make no sound
When two men goin break ya down
Two men goin break ya down, I breathe

All lyin across the ground
Try not to make no sound
When two men goin break ya down, I said
Two men goin break ya down, I breathe

So keep those voices down
Even if you dont make no sound
A thousand voices makin all the mistakes
The fire escapes and this code must break
I...
Step back to get to you
Cut back I'm fallin through
Another day I feel the same
I'm cutting and I'm bleeding here with you

All lyin across the ground
Try not to make no sound
When two men goin break ya down, I said
Two men goin break ya down, I breathe

All lyin across the ground
Try not to make no sound
When two men goin break ya down
Two men goin break ya down, I breathe 
All lyin across the ground
Try not to make no sound
When two men goin break ya down, I said
Two men goin break ya down, I breathe

All lyin across the ground
Try not to make no sound
When two men goin break ya down
Two men goin break ya down, I breathe

All lyin across the ground
Try not to make no sound
When two men goin break ya down, I said
Two men goin break ya down, I breathe

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It always struck up images of urban guerrilla warfare. Then i saw the club foot video which is like a cold war eastern europe and i think thats a similar vibe. Its very dark and sinister as well it feels like an attack is imminent. Great tune

This song is about ...a lot of things...all the people that countrol this nation, world...so on.. for example politicians...they r the ones across the line... This singer is the one who is frustrated with all of it, with the way these people run this place...he wants to change the things... the ones across the lines also include all of us who live like sycophants..and dont even put in an effort to make a change explained by "thousand voices making mistakes" and every day he is trying hard to fight the system and make this a better place but falls through everytime and thats what he means by he is bleeding...yet the next day he gets up and fights!
