To my people doing time
|
To my people rest in peace (y'all ready for the refugee camp?)
|
Introducing Earth, Wind & Fire
|
Yah yah yah
|
Come on come on come on
|
|
No money in my pocket
|
Gotta get a no limit
|
So I became America's most wanted
|
All I ever wanted was a fancy car
|
A crib for my mom and a mastercard
|
Baby you know it's in Hollywood
|
New cop flicks with Clint Eastwood
|
Went from a teen to a young adult
|
No excuses aint't my fault
|
|
[Bridge]
|
Runaway
|
We living like runaways
|
Wake up
|
Stretching in the morning
|
Trying to make it through the day
|
Brush my teeth
|
Hit the streets
|
Where there's heat
|
We afford to beef
|
Hoping one day
|
We don't have to run away
|
(Gotta Escape)
|
|
[Chorus]
|
I didn't want to runaway
|
But I had to get a way yo (gotta get away)
|
We didn't want to runaway
|
But we had to get away yo (gotta get away)
|
I didn't want to leave astray
|
But sometimes I gotta get away yo (gotta get away)
|
I didn't want to go away
|
But I had to go away yo
|
|
Yo G&B where you at?

|
Momma came home from a hard days work
|
At day time a maid at night time a nurse
|
Work so hard to make sure we survived
|
Living a ghetto paradise
|
Sometimes I wake up screaming in the middle of the night
|
Hoping that darkness brings me light
|
Praying for that better day where we won't have to runaway
|
|

But we had to get away yo (gotta get away)
|
I didn't want to leave astray
|
But sometimes I gotta get away yo (gotta get away)
|
I didn't want to go away
|
But I had to go away yo
