k-os - Born To Run Lyrics






I'm at a hot creep show
Same old thing on the radio
Who's that coming 'round
Suffering popularity breakdown

I can't it's funny that
That I got stopped when I'm walking the streets
Walking down streets, walking down paths
With the kids in the back way I said

If you can't dance to this it doesn't matter
If you can't dance to this it doesn't matter

I was running around with my head in the sand
Looking for pupil in a new fan
She told me before, baby do your own dance
Stay off the highway

[Chorus:]
That doesn't mean you were born to run
Either we're vain or we're broken hearted
We don't believe in a heaven above
That's why we're back to the place that we started

That doesn't mean you were born to run
Either we're vain or we're broken hearted
As sure as the stars in the skies above
We're goin' back to the place that we started

We fell from sky and universe
When we fell in love with the sound
Of the birds and all the ocean likes
And the gravity pulling us down

Time won't let you go
There are some things you'll never know
I'm hoping that she walks through the door
I'm in 'el' [?]

If the sky would fall
Will it take that to bring us together
Do we have to start all over again

[Chorus:]
That doesn't mean you were born to run
Either we're vain or we're broken hearted
As sure as the stars in the skies above
We're going back to the place that we started

Born to run until we fell in love
Born to run until we fell
Born to run until we fell in love
Born to run until we fell

[Acoustic outro:]
I'm at a hot creep show
Same old thing on the radio
Who's that coming 'round
Suffering popularity breakdown

I think it's funny that
That I got harassed when I'm walking the streets
Walking down streets, walking down paths
With the kids in the back way I said

If you can't dance to this it doesn't matter
If you can't dance to this it doesn't matter

I was running around with my head in the sand
Looking for a pupil in a new fan
Told me before, baby do your own dance
Stay off the highway

    Expected more fifa fans to come together and give this millions of views

  2. d.... a....

    This guy is a genius rapper and an actual musician, an extremely rare combo. Usually it's either or, or none of the 2 traits.

  3. A.... b....

    Im remember KIs..downtown..u got to love him..I Do..im in 2019 now..its way back in my day..We Love Kos..to bad i was to late to compregend..back in my day..love him just the same..❣

    I love the girl dancing, she broke from the zombies and became an individual with soul! BE YOUR OWN PERSON!!

  10. B.... N....

    Fuck Fifa... I'm here because I was a big fan of K-Os since Superstar and all those amazing Hip Hop hymns! Too bad he went a bit more pop/commercial... it always happens I guess!

  11. w.... ....

    I think we need to get this video to a milli+

  14. M.... C....

    Football Is Freaking Awesome 08




    Tell me if you got it.

  15. D.... M....

    2018, esta canción era de mis favoritas pero como puede tener tan pocas visualizaciones? :/

  16. M.... B....

    This video is based on the fall of Atlantis. Near the end of that empire the people would hold events in which animal human hybrids would be pitted to the death against one another.
    The Atlanteans had lost all connection and emotion for reality and stared blankly into the slaughter.

    M.... B....

    Well, even though what you said is correct, no one knows if Atlantis is real it's been spoken about in rumors and myths throughout recorded history.

  17. J.... G....

    I remember listening to this 11 years ago while playing FIFA 08. I'm realizing I'm not getting any younger. I wonder how I'll feel like in 20-30 years' time.

  18. P.... W....

    Part of my life, peace everyone

  19. t.... 2....

    Suffering popularity breakdown
    I think it's funny that
    That I got stopped when I'm walking the streets
    Walking down streets, walking down paths
    With the kids in the back way I said
    If you can't dance to this it doesn't matter
    If you can't dance to this it doesn't matter
    I was running around with my head in the sand
    Looking for pupil in a new fan
    She told me before, baby do your own dance
    Stay off the highway

    [Chorus: K-oS]
    That doesn't mean you were born to run
    Either we're vain or we're broken hearted
    We don't believe in a heaven above
    That's why we're back to the place that we started

  46. E.... T....

    ...wtf... how does this not have a million views

    E.... T....

    Every person who listens to K-os is asking that question.

    E.... T....

    Cos sheeple need to be told about what they should like

    E.... T....

    Because he is a black guy who produces quality songs rather than the same old crap like bragging about material possessions and banging beyotches. People expect stereotypical music from black people and when it's not that, they loose interest.

    "If you can't dance to this, it doesn't matter."
    K-Os Born To Run

  76. L.... C....

    it could be a rock song if perform by rock bands.....

    L.... C....

    k-os isn't known as a rock artist but this song in particular is definitely rock.

  77. R.... S....

  88. J.... C....

    FIFA *----------*

  89. R.... T....

    Good song, I like it :P

  90. M.... ....

    Check out The Dog is Mine, Crabukkit, Flypaper, Mushaboom by Fiest K-OS remix, Crucial, Dirty Water. I absolutely love his rap but his more alternative songs are amazing

  91. T.... ....

    check out crabbuckit, there is some rap but it's more of a jazz song

  92. h.... ....

    i tried to find other songs like this by him but all i find is rap, was this song just an exception to his regular style?

    h.... ....

    No, listen to Sunday morning, it sounds similar to this

  93. M.... ....

    the struggles of the youth in a colourless society

  94. M.... ....

    i believe he was touching on the fact that we may on the outside seem to be alike, but we all share this common quality of creativity. The rows of people and their blank expressions are, at least to me, meant to show the limitation of public ridicule and burderns that hold us back from following our own path. It also seems as though he tries to stress that fact that we all have a creative side to us, which is why he chose to show the people as minions.being unique is only achieved through wisdom

  95. L.... L....

    FIFA 08

  96. D.... R....

    TV with antenna in a spaceship lol

  97. L.... ....

    Spanish acoustic.

  98. i.... t....

    his lyrics are like a book
    ..you have to listen to it again and again to understand something knew

  99. s.... f....

    Same ol' thing on radio. Nice song. 5 years Down the FIFA lane, its still among the best songs for me
