On the Run Lyrics


I'm out of here
I gotta go
No Time to Chop It Up
I've got to goI'm a raw dog ya'll tryin to shake the kennell
I stay in underbuckets and I ride in rentals
Cause the rollers wanna pinch me, wash me, rinse me
Brick wall, razor wire, behind the fence me
Put me where thy mother can't kiss me, put me where thy brother gon' miss me
I stay off the phone, I take dumb ways home
I let my beard grow and my hair get long
It's on, I'm gon nigga if I stay I'm cooked
I'm seein police everywhere I look (Uh)
It's off the hook, I've never been scarier
My niggas say boy if they catch you they gon' bury ya
Leave the area, live on a farm, and keep a long sleeve shirt for them tats on your arm
[Chorus: x2]
I'm on the run
Packin my Gun

Havin no fun
Caught in the cross hairs
When I thought I had runMan I'm washed tryin to shake John Walsh
Americas Most tryin to say I'm a crime boss
I'm getting lost, boy I'm finna head for the hills
It's survival skills I'm on the run for real
I'm always in different loads
Switchin and ditchin those
Pistols I'm grippin those
Mixed officials I'm hittin those
I'm watched and can't avoid it
The cops got me noided
Every time they hit I'm flushin shit down the toilet
Bitches can't spoil it
I gets further
Can't stick me with the murder
They witness, I'm gon' hurt her
I got a squirter with a 50 round drum
And when they people come, dude, I make it hum[Chorus x2]They tryin to stick me with a grand jury endictment
So I ride and I creep with a alias license
My license got a picture of me, with a different name
I'm hyphy could you picture me in a different game
I'm dippin man I'm different man
Call me Casper
Get ghost faster
You hear those flowmasters
High speed pursuit
Partner I'm a scoot
I got jukes
Patterns and routes
It's bye bye now, nigga I ride out, I slide out and dip to my hide out
Boy I shake the spot cause nigga I'm not tryin to go to Lompoc for 3 hots and a cot[Chorus]I'm on the run

Andre Hicks (July 5, 1970 - November 1, 2004), better known by his stage name, Mac Dre, was a Bay Area based gangsta rapper from the Crest side of Vallejo, California and considered one of the predecessors of the hyphy movement. During his career in the rap world, he worked with artists like Andre Nickatina, Yukmouth, Snoop Dogg, Mac Mall, Dubee and Keak Da Sneak.

Career

Mac Dre's music gained popularity in the early to mid 1990s throughout the Bay Area, eventually receiving national recognition through his independent record labels Romp and Thizz Entertainment. He released many hit singles, such as "Too Hard for the Radio", and most recently "Feelin' Myself". He was the creator of the "Thizzle Dance", a popular dance which holds no specific standard. Hardship and controversy were staples of Mac Dre's career. After recording his first three albums between 1989 and 1991, Mac was charged with conspiracy to commit bank robbery. His record label, Romp Productions, and his many references to "Romper Room" in his songs, coincided with a Vallejo robbery gang of the time calling themselves the "Romper Room Gang" and responsible for the robberies of many area banks and pizza parlours. Hicks was alleged to be a member of the gang. The rapper was sentenced to five years in prison in 1992.

In prison, Hicks gained some notoriety by recording the lyrics to songs directly over the Fresno County jail inmate telephone. His album, Young Black Brotha, was a result of such efforts, as well as guest appearances on fellow artists' songs, all while Hicks was still imprisoned. A later album, Back 'N Da Hood, was also made up of these prison-recorded songs.

After his release from prison in 1996, Mac Dre began releasing albums steadily, building pace in the early 21st century. Mac Dre's audience was growing, and mainstream hip-hop stations were beginning to give Hicks' music more airtime. Hicks relocated to Sacramento, California in 2001, where he began a label, Thizz Entertainment.

Death

On November 1, 2004, Mac Dre was shot to death while returning to his hotel after a performance in Kansas city. A car pulled up next to the white van carrying Dre along with other Thizz artists. Whether words where exchanged or not, the ordeal ended in the bloodshed of a bay area rap legend. The van swerved off the road and into a ravine where it ran into a tree. Word is that Dre was thrown from the van, but officials say they found him in the front seat, dead on arrival. Some believe that Mac Dre's killer was Kansas City rapper Anthony "Fat Tone" Watkins. In 2005 Watkins was murdered, allegedly by Bay Area rapper Mac Minister. In March 2006, Mac Minister was arrested by FBI officials.
