“Hit the Ground Runnin’”
Jensen Reed

Chorus

Hit the ground running in my fresh, new shoes
Don’t stop and think about it
You got nothing to lose
When you make the right decisions
Then the path you choose
Will open up the doors
How you liking the views?
Like I’m high, like I’m living
Like I’m up in a plane
Like the feeling that I get
When the crowd’s calling my name
It’s lovely at the top, I’m rockin’ the stage
Can you feel me, hear me
Serenade the streets of LA?

Verse1

All along I had an idea, singing my song is the signal clear?
What you want to hear? That’s so last year
Man the music makes my ears go numb
Some these rappers really can’t flow
Some these beats just really ain’t tight
Some of this garbage makes me lose my marbles
Almost every night
Just gimme the light, gimme the light
I need to set my sights on heights
The price is right, tonight’s the night and I’m gonna live it right
Living in the land where the Lakers rule
Kobe taking everybody else to school
Fadeaway jumpshot, tomahawk dunk what?
24’s game is so damn cool
Hootie hoo what they’re calling when they’re ballin’
Got ‘em falling down, ooh he’s the talk of the town
And now they looking around, booking the sound, checking him twice
Cooking it brown, know what you got
Give me the crown, know what you’re not, pound for pound
I try to emulate the present state of mind
Push the thoughts back that say I’m running out of time
Almost lost that, hey here we go again
Gotta prove myself some more but I’m starting to win

Chorus

Verse 2

Now I’m running but I know they won’t forget me
The camera’s rolling, so I’m flowing never let me down
Anytime I need someone there to catch me
You were on my side
I know how hard that you tried
Make you proud, make you sing it loud
All my people back home, can you see me now?
I’m riding dirty down the 101
Soaking up the summer sun
You’re looking at a smoking gun
Who might just be the one

Verse 3

Now he said you can’t go on, you won’t ever be strong
Did you really think you’d move to Hollywood
And have an impact?
I got my rims black so wear your chinstrap
Lights Out 56 San Diego with the sack
In the biggest of cities with the brightest of dreams
No matter what people say, it ain’t as hard as it seems
See the future it stands in the palm of your hand
Don’t want to see it washed away like a beach full of sand
Brave enough to lose yourself to a brand new beginning
Build a business with your name
Opportunities for fame, wealth, happiness, respect
Jensen Reed’s a HOT name and I’m shuffling the deck
I got my swagger back like Mick Jagger said
Don’t play with me dude ‘cause you’re playing with fire
I’m hot like a North Carolina summer night
Man it’s gorgeous out in Cali ain’t the spring time nice?
