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
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)
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
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
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
