Lyrics from Snippet

[Verse]
Confidence is the food to a wise man and liquor to a fool
True, I had the jewel since a little bitty yute
The liquor root that grew manuver the manure
The poop, the press, the prob, the prayers, the proof
I shook a loose on everything I thought I knew
Had to unlearn, rewire cause the fires regrew
I've been aloof, I've been alone and now it's time to regroup
Look at the timе and rhyming is simple as tying a shoe
They say thе devil's in the dirt, I found diamonds
My momma say the devil's in the church but you'd be preaching with the zeal of the converted
Your purpose got a purpose, you been on the search
You've been hurt by people that's been hurt or who could do worse
One person, black man, first earth birth
Evil lurking in the curtain, squirting at your work shirt
It's nowhere- [?] if you undergo the turf
You a cowardly dog I wouldn't encourage it
Certainly pertinent information observing the surface got me berserk
That nigga caught the dirty .30 and he poppin' that perc
But breaky, lunch, dinner, dessert
But smirch the good name of the family, mom was always at work
He went to rob another robber that got found in the dirt
He got it poppin', shot a cop, the partner thought he was Turk
Google search, a nigga's service was purple
Upper class, middle class, attracted to the bad shit
Runnin' rampant, do you blame it on some rap shit?
It's lies in the library, they cappin' in the captions
Fasten your seat belt, fascism is just a fashion that's formidable for you to walk the hell until your feet melt

[Chorus]
Run baby, run baby, run til' they get you
Aww man, they got you, now snap for the picture
All better run 'fore they gun, for they coming for you
Run baby, run baby, better run 'fore they get you
Aw man, they got you, now smile for the picture
Run, better run from they gun 'cuz they coming for you, ooh

J.I.D

Destin Choice Route (b. October 31, 1990), better known by the stage name J.I.D, is an American rapper from Zone 6, Atlanta, Georgia. He describes himself as “a soft-spoken but intricate lyricist with a cocky side.” His stage name originates from “jittery,” his grandmother’s nickname for him due to his sporadic behavior as a child.

J.I.D began attending Hampton University on a football scholarship in the fall of 2008. At that time, he was nicknamed ‘Jidd’ and released music under multiple variations of that name. His first mixtape, CakeWalk, was released in May 2010 and featured a number of friends from Hampton. The tape also marked two of his earliest collaborations with EARTHGANG. He released his second mixtape, CakeWalk 2, in June 2011. J.I.D was expelled from Hampton at some point during his senior year. Route of Evil was released in June 2012 as J.I.D’s third mixtape. DJ Tay James, Justin Bieber’s official DJ, hosted each of these three mixtapes. J.I.D does not publicly acknowledge any of these tapes, and they are not easily discoverable on the internet.

In October 2013, J.I.D released Para Tu, his fourth mixtape. Around this time, he also officially created the Spillage Village collective with EARTHGANG, Hollywood JB, and JordxnBryant. J.I.D re-released Para Tu on SoundCloud in December 2017 after fans had discovered it and were posting it online.
