Runaway Love Lyrics
[Hook - Mary J. Blige]
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
[Verse 1 - Ludacris]
Now little lisa is only nine years old
Shes tryin to figure out why the world is so cold
Why shes all all alone and they never met her family
Mamas always gone and she never met her daddy
Part of her is missin and nobody will listenin
Mama is on drugs gettin high up in the kitchen
Bringin home men at different hours of the night
Startin with some laughs--usually endin in a fight
Sneak into her room while her mamas 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 mama don't believe her
Lisa is stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that hell is a place called home
Nothin else to do but some get some clothes and pack
She says shes bout to run away and never come back.
[Hook - Mary J. Blige]
Runaway love [x8]
[Verse 2 - Ludacris]
Little nicole is only ten years old
Shes steady tryin to figure why the world is so cold
Why shes not pretty and nobody seems to like her
Alcoholic step dad always wanna strike her
Yells and abuses, leaves her with some bruises
Teachers ask questions she makin up excuses
Bleedin on the inside, cryin on the out
Its only one girl really knows what she about
Her name is lil stacy and they become friends
Promise that they 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 stuck up in the 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 shes bout to run away and never come back.
[Hook - Mary J. Blige]
Runaway love [x8]
[Verse 3 - Ludacris]
Little erica is eleven years old
Shes steady tryin to figure why the world is so cold
So she pops pills to get rid of all the pain
Cause shes havin sex with a boy whos sixteen
Emotions run deep and she thinks shes in love
So theres no protection hes usin no glove
Never thinkin bout the consequences of her actions
Livin for today and not tomorrows satisfaction
The days go by and her belly gets big
The father bails out he aint ready for a kid
Knowin her mama will blow it all outta proportion
Plus she lives poor so no money for abortion
Erica is stuck up in the 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 say shes bout to run away and never come back.

What? No comments for this wonderful song yet? Well, I will just fix that.
I love this song. The lyrics are just inspiring to me and so powerful.(Which is kind of odd since I listen to a lot of hardcore.) The video is just as good and I have a feeling that it'll be extremly popular.
Great job Ludacris & Mary J. Blige.
yeah every time i listen to this song i start to cry :( but it's a great song

I LOVE this song, it is SOOOOOOO SAD :'( I almost cry EVERYTIME!! <3 it!
Absolutely beautiful. Awesome lyrics, this is definitely one of my faves next to From yesterday. I actually didn't know about this song until my cousin played it on her iPod, I loved it from the start. I am absolutely 100% that this song will become popular. I mean c'mon it's Luda. The song is kinda self-explatory so I don't really need to guess what it's about. Once again great job Ludacris and Mary J. Blidge.
damn good song i like the meanin it reminds me of ppl i kno n it makes me feel bad bout nethin i do wrong but otherwise its damn good
This is definately Luda's best lyrics. Normally they're pretty degrading to women such as myslef, but this song and video makes me cry everytime I see/hear it. Keep up the good lyrics, Luda
everytime i hear this song i almost cry... but actually reading the lyrics... well that really got me... this song is so real i mean we try to turn a blind eye to it but this kind of thing happens so often in the world around us... i love this song... i havent seen the video to it but i cant wait till i get to
This really is the best song Ludacris has ever come out with.
I really respect the message he's sending in this song, and it's sort of a wake-up call for everyone.
It's honest and powerful, and the music really supports the lyrics and their message.
this song is extreamly powerful and beautiful it sends a message to everyone that everythings not what it seems and that life can be really hard.simply amazing lyrics.
Great song with deep meaning. This is the sort of rap i love, that actually means something, can be related to and has strong lyrics. We all know rap is easy and it does take a genius to come up with this but atleast hes not bangin on about bitches and hoes for a change.
doesn't** lol
