[Hook - Mary J. Blige]Runaway loveRunaway loveRunaway loveRunaway loveRunaway loveRunaway loveRunaway loveRunaway love[Verse 1 - Ludacris]Now little lisa is only 9 years oldShes tryin to figure out why the world is so coldWhy shes all all alone and they never met her familyMamas always gone and she never met her daddyPart of her is missin and nobody will listeninMama is on drugs gettin high up in the kitchenBringin home men at different hours of the nightStartin with laughs--usually endin in a fightSneak into her room while her mamas knocked outTryin to have his way and little lisa says 'ouch'She tries to resist but then all he does is beat herTries to tell her mom but her mama don't believe herLisa is stuck up in the world on her ownForced to think that hell is a place called homeNothin else to do but some get some clothes and packShe says shes about to run away and never come back.[Hook - Mary J. Blige]Runaway love [x8][Verse 2 - Ludacris]Little nicole is only 10 years oldShes steady tryin to figure why the world is so coldWhy shes not pretty and nobody seems to like herAlcoholic step dad always wanna strike herYells and abuses, leaves her with some bruisesTeachers ask questions she makin up excusesBleedin on the inside, cryin on the outIts only one girl really knows what she aboutHer name is lil stacy and they become friendsPromise that they always be tight til the endUntil one day lil stacy gets shotA drive by bullet went stray up on her blockNow nicole stuck up in the world on her ownForced to think that hell is a place called homeNothin else to do but some get some clothes and packShe says she's about to run away and never come back.[Hook - Mary J. Blige]Runaway love [x8][Verse 3 - Ludacris]Little erica is eleven years oldShes steady tryin to figure why the world is so coldSo she pops x to get rid of all the painCause shes havin sex with a boy whos sixteenEmotions run deep and she thinks shes in loveSo theres no protection hes usin no gloveNever thinkin bout the consequences of her actionsLivin for today and not tomorrows satisfactionThe days go by and her belly gets bigThe father bails out he aint ready for a kidKnowin her mama will blow it all outta proportionPlus she lives poor so no money for abortionErica is stuck up in the world on her ownForced to think that hell is a place called homeNothin else to do but get her clothes and packShe say shes about to run away and never come back.[Hook - Mary J. Blige]Runaway love [repeats til end]
