This song to me, rings with power and meaning, if not lyrically, at least musically. Is is rather untraditional of lil wayne.
To me the lyrics mean this- It is being overwhelmed with the negative things about life, whether that be war, oppression, greed, chaos, trying to find acceptance and not finding it, etc. He expressed that "some times "It feels like I'm runnin' and life is the miles." Life is a hard road with many long miles.
"Yeah, but until the lights dim and down - (but until the end of life)
I'll be runnin' around, runnin'(he aint gonna give up/.)
Evidence that he's walked a long road already stuggling for "freedom" (in his case probably socially or spiritually or whatever) is conveyed in his lines "feet hurtin i just walked from jerusalem." Comparing himself to those searching for religious freedom in the mideast.
"Whens it gonna end" (frustration with the difficulties)
"Gatherin my pennies" the typical struggle for prosperity in life.
"We all in the race- im just another sprinter" (yep, we all have to run the race of life).
"Bet you searched and found nothin', lookin' for the finish line
Stop short cuttin', you fuckin' up your finish time"
(No shortcuts in life, you gotta live it).
The end is gettin closer- in this case referring to the end of the world- not the end of personal life, but the end of everyones life, so in your personal life get your act together.
