Polow Da Don - Runaway Love lyrics
Yeah, and it go a little somethin {"Li-li-like this" - Slick Rick} [Hook 2X: Mary J. Blige] Runaway love (love love) runaway love (love love) Runaway love (love love) runaway love (love love) [Verse 1] Now little Lisa's only nine years old She's tryin to figure out why the world is so cold Why she's all alone and they never met her family Momma's always gone and she never met her daddy Part of her is missin and nobody'll listen Momma's on d** gettin high up in the kitchen Bringin home men at different hours of the night Startin with some laughs, usually endin in a fight Sneakin in her room when her momma's knocked out Tryin to have his way and little Lisa says ouch She tries to resist but then all he does is beat her Tries to tell her mom but her momma don't believe her Lisa's stuck up in a world on her own Forced to think that hell is a place called home Nothin else to do but get some clothes and pack She says she's 'bout to run away and never come back {"Like this"} [Hook] w/ ad libs [Verse 2] Little Nicole is only ten years old She's steady tryin to figure why the world is so cold Why she's not pretty and nobody seems to like her Alcoholic stepdad always wanna strike her Yells and abuses, leaves her with some bruises Teachers ask questions, she's makin up excuses Bleedin on the inside, cryin on the out It's only one girl really knows what she's about Her name is little Stacy and they become friends Promise that they'll always be tight 'til the end Until one day lil' Stacy gets shot A drive-by bullet went stray up on her block Now Nicole's stuck up in a world on her own Forced to think that hell is a place called home Nothin else to do but get her clothes and pack She says she's 'bout to run away and NEVER come back [Hook] w/ ad libs [Verse 3] Little Erica is eleven years old She's steady tryin to figure why the world is so cold So she pops X to get rid of all the pain Plus she's havin s** with her boy who's sixteen Emotions run deep as she thinks she's in love So there's no protection, he's usin no glove Never thinkin 'bout the consequences of her actions Livin for today and not tomorrow's satisfaction The days go by and her belly gets big The father bails out, he ain't ready for a kid Knowin her momma would blow it all out of proportion Plus she lives poor so no money for abortion Erica is stuck up in a world on her own Forced to think that hell is a place called home Nothin else to do but get her clothes and pack She says she 'bout to run away and NEVER come back, ah! [Hook] - 2x w/ ad libs [Mary J. Blige] Runaway runaway love Don't keep runnin away I'll run away with you, if you want me to Lahhhhhhh [Outro: Ludacris] Yeah, I can only imagine what you goin through ladies Sometimes I feel like runnin away myself So do me a favor right now and close your eyes And picture us runnin away together When we come back everything gonna be okay Open your eyes {*echoes*}
