Runaway

Where there's heat we afford to beef
Y'all ready for the refugee camp?
I want to see everybody's hand in the air right now
Wake up, stretching in the morning, yawning
But sometimes I gotta get away yo
I didn't want to go away
Went from a teen to a young adult

Yo y'all gonna make me do it
Work so hard to make sure we survived living a ghetto paradise
Introducing Earth, Wind and Fire
But I had to go away yo
Wake up, stretching in the morning, yawning
Hoping that darkness brings me light
I didn't want to runaway
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Momma came home from a hard days work
Runaway, we living like runaways
I didn't want to runaway
Come on, come on, come on, come on
But I had to get a way yo
Trying to make it through the day
Ain't no samples this is original baby

I didn't want to leave astray
Put em up y'all, refugees

No money in my pocket gotta get a no limit
I didn't want to go away
I didn't want to runaway
Brush my teeth, hit the streets
But I had to go away yo

All I ever wanted was a fancy car
Wake up, stretching in the morning, yawning
But we had to get away yo
We didn't want to runaway
Hoping one day we don't have to run away
At day time a maid at night time a nurse
Runaway, we living like runaways
A crib for my mom and a master card
Baby you know how it's in Hollywood
I didn't want to go away
But we had to get away yo

Sometimes I wake up screaming in the middle of the night
Hoping one day we don't have to run away
I didn't want to go away
Trying to make it through the day
But I had to get a way yo
Runaway, we living like runaways
I didn't want to runaway
But we had to get away yo
More peace y'all

Brush my teeth, hit the streets
Yo G and B where you at?
But I had to get a way yo
But I had to go away yo
No excuses it ain't my fault
But sometimes I gotta get away yo
New cop flicks with Clint Eastwood
But I had to get a way yo
Praying for that better day where we won't have to runaway
We didn't want to runaway
Firm in y'all
But sometimes I gotta get away yo

I didn't want to leave astray
We didn't want to runaway
But sometimes I gotta get away yo
Brush my teeth, hit the streets

Where there's heat we afford to beef
Feeling Melly y'all
But I had to go away yo
Where there's heat we afford to beef
I didn't want to leave astray

I don't want to do it but here we go
Hoping one day we don't have to run away
We didn't want to runaway
So I became America's most wanted
But we had to get away yo
Trying to make it through the day
Ladies and gentleman Earth, Wind and Fire

I didn't want to leave astray
