In Runnin’ Out of Time, the protagonists, Water and J-Dog recount the first wild 24 hours of a spontaneous weekend trip to Las Vegas with their crew. The song opens with Water waking up in an unfamiliar bed, confused and disoriented. The story rewinds to their plane landing in Vegas, where they rent a luxury car and check into a lavish Airbnb estate complete with a pool.

From there, chaos ensues as the crew dives headfirst into the Vegas nightlife. J-Dog’s verses expound upon the events as the drinks flow, the casino calls, and impulsive decisions lead to unforgettable yet questionable moments. The night spirals out of control, blending exhilaration with uncertainty. The song ends with Water waking up in an unfamiliar bed, setting the stage for the sequel as the events of the wild night begin to unravel.

With its energetic delivery and vivid imagery, Runnin’ Out of Time captures the thrill, recklessness, and fleeting moments of clarity in a high-stakes Vegas adventure.

In Runnin’ Out of Time: Part 2, the story picks up after a chaotic night in Las Vegas. J-Dog sets the tone breaking down what occurred in the club after shots rang and out and he gets separated from his crew. Meanwhile, Water, sneaks out of Chanel's house at dawn, calls a questionable Uber, and finds himself in an even crazier situation when the driver gets arrested mid-ride. Forced to walk in the blazing Vegas heat, Water discovers the Airbnb is hilariously just around the corner.

When he finally makes it back, he finds his crew, JDog and Wreckhaj, throwing an impromptu pool party with ladies they met the night before. The wild energy carries over into Sunday, with a frantic cleanup of the trashed Airbnb and a nerve-wracking dash to return the rental car and catch a red-eye flight home.

With the skillful back and forth wordplay between the verses of J-Dog and Water, the song captures the unpredictable chaos of a Vegas weekend through vivid storytelling, humor, and high-energy verses, illustrating how a series of misadventures can lead to unforgettable memories.
