[00:00.34]Runaway (Stop The Music Album Version) - NEW BREED
[00:19.02]1:45am wonderin if I'll every see my bed again
[00:23.03]Park bench leavin a stench
[00:24.94]One eye open sleepin with my fist clenched
[00:27.43]Let the five try to get live they'll get drenched
[00:29.82]My rain is a down pour
[00:31.43]Down for extreme measures bound for
[00:33.95]A one night tour of a county cell block
[00:36.38]Ain't scared of the devil or nothin that hell got
[00:38.63]From now until me and my people pop pills
[00:40.97]Shake down mad dog and grill just for thrills
[00:42.82]And what's ill is at sunrise I laugh and cry
[00:45.94]Can't decided if I either want to live or die
[00:48.02]Hate long good-bye's that's why I left after dark
[00:50.63]Either made my moms day or broke my moms heart
[00:53.27]Ain't tryin to hit charts I'm hittin my next meal
[00:55.50]So I surive and stay live and now ya'll realize that
[00:58.35]I am a runaway
[01:00.72]I chose to runaway
[01:03.09]I was forced to runaway
[01:05.06]Runaway never to come back another day
[01:07.89]I am a runaway
[01:10.37]I chose to runaway
[01:12.67]I was forced to runaway
[01:14.51]Runaway never to come back another day
[01:17.08]For years I mixed fears with cold sweat and tears
[01:19.47]Soothed my pain with beer and answered life with who cares
[01:21.90]I woke up to nightmares
[01:23.00]Empty days and hard stares
[01:24.20]My heart shares its' room with pay back and crazed dares
[01:27.06]Peace moved out after my first thirteen years
[01:28.91]Still memory plays back the time life was fair
[01:31.58]Vision been hazed
[01:32.45]That picture no longer clear
[01:33.68]I hear the laughter of a stranger
[01:35.14]Warn her of the danger
[01:36.19]Go to call out but I get overcome with anger
[01:38.58]Mouth fills with spit and swears
[01:40.03]Arms swing at empty air
[01:40.96]I curse the lives that got me here
[01:42.23]My hopes in hoping the end is near
[01:43.67]I'm tired of these days
[01:44.59]Light only adds to my despair
[01:45.80]Paints the picture like life is all beautiful and fair
[01:48.14]But where's my sunshine
[01:49.21]How many mountains must I climb
[01:50.63]I ain't searching for riches
[01:51.66]All I want is peace of mind
[01:53.11]Running from life and love
[01:54.14]But just running out of time
[01:56.05]I am a runaway
[01:58.25]I chose to runaway
[02:00.61]I was forced to runaway
[02:02.52]Runaway never to come back another day
[02:05.41]I am a runaway
[02:07.87]I chose to runaway
[02:10.21]I was forced to runaway
[02:12.16]Runaway never to come back another day
[02:14.65]As I close the door my feet hit the floor
[02:17.06]I realize it's the last time
[02:18.23]I'll see my street never more
[02:19.48]I'm gon run run till my body breaks with sweat
[02:21.99]And out my pours come the memories
[02:23.46]That I tried to forget
[02:24.37]I'm gon run run till I can't run no more
[02:26.80]Move at the speed of life forget what I've been runnin for
[02:29.02]I'm gon run run till the land meets the sea
[02:31.51]And the reflection in the water
[02:32.58]Shows me what a woman should be
[02:34.08]Someone emancipate me I'm stuck in this cage
[02:35.86]Volcanoe ready to blow about to erupt from the rage
[02:38.07]Supposed to be comming of age but instead in my head
[02:40.92]I'm wonderin if I'll see tomorrow or end up on fron page
[02:43.20]Whether homicide or suicide yo it takes two to ride
[02:45.75]And if you can't take no blame
[02:46.97]For the pain caused between you and I
[02:48.35]I'd rather sleep out in the cold tell my story to the bums
[02:50.77]Live life under the rain and live life on the run
[03:03.19]I am a runaway
[03:05.48]I chose to runaway
[03:07.84]I was forced to runaway
[03:09.83]Runaway never to come back another day
[03:12.68]I am a runaway
[03:15.12]I chose to runaway
[03:17.50]I was forced to runaway
[03:19.34]Runaway never to come back another day
