Runaway

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Macho] 1:45am wonderin if I'll every see my bed again Park bench leavin a stench One eye open sleepin with my fist clenched Let the five try to get live they'll get drenched My rain is a down pour Down for extreme measures bound for A one night tour of a county cell block Ain't scared of the devil or nothin that hell got From now until me and my people pop pills Shake down mad dog and grill just for thrills And what's ill is at sunrise I laugh and cry Can't decided if I either want to live or die Hate long good-bye's that's why I left after dark Either made my moms day or broke my moms heart Ain't tryin to hit charts I'm hittin my next meal So I surive and stay live and now ya'll realize that [Hook] I am a runaway. I chose to runaway. I was forced to runaway. Runaway never to come back another day I am a runaway. I chose to runaway. I was forced t runaway. Runaway never to come back another day! [Verse 2: Elise] For years I mixed fears with cold sweat and tears Soothed my pain with beer and answered life with "who cares" I woke up to nightmares Empty days and hard stares My heart shares its' room with pay back and crazed dares Peace moved out after my first thirteen years Still memory plays back the time life was fair Vision been hazed That picture no longer clear I hear the laughter of a stranger Warn her of the danger Go to call out but I get overcome with anger Mouth fills with spit and swears Arms swing at empty air I curse the lives that got me here My hopes in hoping the end is near I'm tired of these days Light only adds to my despair Paints the picture like life is all beautiful and fair But where's my sunshine How many mountains must I climb I ain't searching for riches All I want is peace of mind Running from life and love But just running out of time [Hook] I am a runaway. I chose to runaway. I was forced to runaway. Runaway never to come back another day I am a runaway. I chose to runaway. I was forced t runaway. Runaway never to come back another day! [Verse 3a: Elise] As I close the door my feet hit the floor I realize it's the last time I'll see my street never more I'm gon run run till my body breaks with sweat And out my pours come the memories that I tried to forget I'm gon run run till I can't run no more Move at the speed of life forget what I've been runnin for I'm gon run run till the land meets the sea And the reflection in the water shows me what a woman should be [Verse 3b: Macho] Someone emancipate me I'm stuck in this cage Volcanoe ready to blow about to erupt from the rage Supposed to be comming of age but instead in my head I'm wonderin if I'll see tomorrow or end up on fron page Whether homicide or suicide yo it takes two to ride And if you can't take no blame for the pain caused between you and I I'd rather sleep out in the cold tell my story to the bums Live life under the rain and live life on the run? [Hook] I am a runaway. I chose to runaway. I was forced to runaway. Runaway never to come back another day I am a runaway. I chose to runaway. I was forced t runaway. Runaway never to come back another day!
