Pharrell sings, "Sometime my mind dives deep/ When I'm runnin'/ I don't want no free ride/ I'm just sick and tired of runnin'/ Some nights I cry/ Cause I can see the day comin'/ Together we fight/ Oh, but no more runnin'."
Pharrell teases other upcoming songs with "Hidden Figures" stars Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monae to be released on Beats 1 on Sunday, October 30.
