Lauren Jauregui tags Ty Dolla $ign & Russ along for the song, “Wolves”

Lauren Jauregui drops the song, “Wolves” with Ty Dolla $ign & Russ. Listen, stream, read the lyrics, buy the track produced by Leon Thomas III & Khristopher Riddick-Tynes.

41-year-old Ty Dolla Sign and former Fifth Harmony member Lauren Jauregui may not have been able to make their romance work, but that’s not stopping them from collaborating musically. The creative couple spent two years together, but ultimately amicably ended their union in 2019. Now, in 2023, they’ve reunited for the black-haired beauty’s new In Between EP alongside Russ on a track called “Wolves.”

“I’ve been runnin’ with the wolves and I made it alright / Searchin’ for my purpose and I’m learnin’ / That we don’t really get a lot of time,” the pop star sings on the opening chorus. Afterward, we hear from Ty Dolla, who vents about the undeniably lonely times that come about when you have no one to turn to. “There comes a time in every man’s life / When he gotta handle shit up on his own / You can’t depend on your friends when you in a tight squeeze / Everybody got problems of they own,” the multi-talent croons.

For his part, Russ delivers bars in his signature flow, rhyming about dreaming big and trusting his intuition. “Clock tickin’, plot and stop bitchin’ / Lot of fake stars, but I ain’t ’bout to stop wishin’,” the second verse starts. “I’ma just distance me from your existence / Every time my gut talks, I try to just listen.” Of the seven titles on Jauregi’s new EP, “Wolves” is the only one with guest features. The others – including previously released singles “Always Love” and “Trust Issues” find her operating solo.

Lyrics

[Chorus: Lauren Jauregui]
I’ve been runnin’ with the wolves and I made it alright
Searchin’ for my purpose and I’m learnin’
That we don’t really get a lot of time
So I’ve got to go and get mine while I’m alive
Yeah, I’ll be runnin’ with the wolves all through the night

[Verse 1: Ty Dolla $ign, Ty Dolla $ign & Lauren Jauregui]
There comes a time in every man’s life
When he gotta handle shit up on his own
You can’t depend on your friends when you in a tight squeeze
Everybody got problems of they own
I gotta get it how I live, no matter how tough it is
Face to face with my fears, my momma, she shed tears
My wolves, I lost a few to the streets, they turned victim
Bro had a daugher, all he left behind was pictures
Life is all about decisions
Should I stay or should I go up on this mission?
I lost so many to the system
Only two ways out, dead or in prison

[Pre-Chorus: Ty Dolla $ign]
I know there’s gotta be a better way
Out here runnin’ with the wolves tryna get away
I know there’s gotta be a better way
Out here runnin’ with the wolves tryna get away

[Chorus: Lauren Jauregui]
I’ve been runnin’ with the wolves and I made it alright
Searchin’ for my purpose and I’m learnin’
That we don’t really get a lot of time
So I’ve got to go and get mine while I’m alive (Oh, yeah-yeah)
Yeah, I’ll be runnin’ with the wolves all through the night (Night)

[Verse 2: Russ, Lauren Jauregui, Russ & Lauren Jauregui]
Clock tickin’, plot and stop bitchin’ (Uh, oh yeah)
Lot of fake stars, but I ain’t ’bout to stop wishin’
I’ma just distance me from your existence
Every time my gut talks, I try to just listen
Yeah, conquerin’ me, I feel I owe to myself
I guess destiny is really just a road to myself (Yeah)
I ain’t got no time for back and forth, I’m movin’ crucial (Yeah)
Proud of my younger me, I’m tellin’ me, I knew you knew you (Yeah)
I’m in Atlanta still, money like a Vanderbilt (Yeah, yeah)
A millionaire on hamster wheels, I’m hopin’ that this can’t be real (No, no)
Anythin’ that I don’t have right now, I plan to build it
And anybody tryna shake me, bitch, I’m standin’ still

[Pre-Chorus: Russ, Russ & Lauren Jauregui]
I’m scraped up, got some scratches, got some war wounds
I’m tryna reach the people as if I ain’t ’bout to tour soon
I might need a therapist, maybe a support group
Yeah, I went from dorm rooms to courtrooms to board rooms, ah

[Chorus: Lauren Jauregui]
I’ve been runnin’ with the wolves and I made it alright
Searchin’ for my purpose and I’m learning
That we don’t really get a lot of time (We don’t get a lot of time)
So I’ve got to go and get mine while I’m alive (Oh, yeah-yeah)
Yeah, I’ll be runnin’ with the wolves all through the night (Night)

[Outro: Lauren Jauregui]
Runnin’, runnin’, we keep runnin’, runnin’, runnin’
We keep the fire in our eyes (We keep the)
Runnin’, runnin’ (No), we keep runnin’, runnin’, runnin’
We keep on headin’ for the sky (Oh)
Runnin’, runnin’, we keep runnin’, runnin’, runnin’ (Oh)
We keep the fire in our eyes
Runnin’, runnin’, we keep runnin’, runnin’, runnin’
We keep on headin’ for the sky (Oh, runnin’)
