E.A.R.T.H. - Runaway lyrics

rate me

To my people doing time

To my people rest in peace

Y'all ready for the refugee camp?

Introducing Earth, Wind and Fire

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Come on, come on, come on, come on

No money in my pocket gotta get a no limit

So I became America's most wanted

All I ever wanted was a fancy car

A crib for my mom and a master card

Baby you know how it's in Hollywood

New cop flicks with Clint Eastwood

Went from a teen to a young adult

No excuses it ain't my fault

Runaway, we living like runaways

Wake up, stretching in the morning, yawning

Trying to make it through the day

Brush my teeth, hit the streets

Where there's heat we afford to beef

Hoping one day we don't have to run away

I didn't want to runaway

But I had to get a way yo

We didn't want to runaway

But we had to get away yo

I didn't want to leave astray

But sometimes I gotta get away yo

I didn't want to go away

But I had to go away yo

Yo G and B where you at?

Momma came home from a hard days work

At day time a maid at night time a nurse

Work so hard to make sure we survived living a ghetto paradise

Sometimes I wake up screaming in the middle of the night

Hoping that darkness brings me light

Praying for that better day where we won't have to runaway

Runaway, we living like runaways

Wake up, stretching in the morning, yawning

Trying to make it through the day

Brush my teeth, hit the streets

Where there's heat we afford to beef

Hoping one day we don't have to run away

I didn't want to runaway

But I had to get a way yo

We didn't want to runaway

But we had to get away yo

I didn't want to leave astray

But sometimes I gotta get away yo

I didn't want to go away

But I had to go away yo

Ladies and gentleman Earth, Wind and Fire

Feeling Melly y'all

More peace y'all

Firm in y'all

Runaway, we living like runaways

Wake up, stretching in the morning, yawning

Trying to make it through the day

Brush my teeth, hit the streets

Where there's heat we afford to beef

Hoping one day we don't have to run away

I didn't want to runaway

But I had to get a way yo

We didn't want to runaway

But we had to get away yo

I didn't want to leave astray

But sometimes I gotta get away yo

I didn't want to go away

But I had to go away yo

I didn't want to runaway

But I had to get a way yo

We didn't want to runaway

But we had to get away yo

I didn't want to leave astray

But sometimes I gotta get away yo

I didn't want to go away

But I had to go away yo

Yo y'all gonna make me do it

I don't want to do it but here we go

Ain't no samples this is original baby

Put em up y'all, refugees

I want to see everybody's hand in the air right now

Recognize the legends up in here
