Pump's dry. Phone's buzzing.
Gauge on E.
Don't panic.
...I ran.
Woke up, checked the app,
it said zero
Queue round the block,
I ain't no hero
Crude hit two hundred,
wallet said "nah"
Laced up my shoes
and I left the car
Diesel? I'd sooner die
That's a hard pass
Now I'm burning calories,
not gas
Tanker stuck in Hormuz,
can't move a drop
But my two feet?
Baby, they don't stop
No crude from Iran?
(I RAN!)
Strait of Hormuz shut?
(I RAN!)
OPEC cut the output?
(I RAN!)
Petrol queue too long?
(I RAN! I RAN!)
Sanctions on the pump,
embargo on the flow
Refinery offline
Guess I gotta go
Past the gridlock,
past the honking horns
Endorphins kicking in
like a brand new dawn
My calves are crude oil,
baby, homegrown
Energy independence,
all on my own
Barrel said two hundred,
I said "and?"
The only renewable's
the way I RAN
No crude from Iran?
(I RAN!)
Strait of Hormuz shut?
(I RAN!)
OPEC cut the output?
(I RAN!)
Petrol queue too long?
(I RAN! I RAN!)
No pasarán?
I RAN!
Persian Gulf jam?
I RAN!
Gauge on empty,
fuel app dead
Cardio the only thing
I got instead!
Crude prices soaring,
geopolitics tense
But these legs run
on zero pretense
You drive, you wait,
you sit and you stall
I sprint past the lot,
leave the petrol y'all
No moats round my fitness,
just open canals
Diesel for the weak
Me? I run on morale
So when the world goes dark
and the barrels are banned
Just remember the anthem...
baby, I RAN!
I RAN! I RAN!
(Strait outta fuel)
I RAN! I RAN!
(See you at the finish line)
