[Verse 1 - Ludacris]
Now little Lisa is only 9 years
old
She's trying to figure out why the world is so cold
Why she's all alone and ain't never met her family
Mama's always gone and she never met her
daddy
Part of her is missing and nobody will listen
Mama is on drugs
getting high up in the kitchen
Bringing home men at different hours of the
night
Starting with some laughs -- usually ending in a fight
Sneaking in
her room while her mama's knocked out
Trying 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
Nothing else to
do but get some clothes and pack
She says she's 'bout to run away and never come back.

Runaway love

[Verse 2 - Ludacris]
Little Nicole is only 10 years
old
She's steady trying to figure why the world is so cold
Why she's 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 making up excuses
Bleeding on the inside, crying on the out
It's only
one girl really knows what she about
Her name is little Stacy and they become
friends
Promise that they always be tight 'til the end
Until one day
little 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
Nothing else to do but get her clothes and pack
She says she's
'bout to run away and never come back.

Runaway love [x8]
[Verse 3 -
Ludacris]
Little Erica is eleven years old
She's steady trying to figure why the world is so cold
So she pops X to get rid of all the
pain
Plus she's having sex with a boy who's sixteen
Emotions run deep and
she thinks she's in love
So there's no protection he's using no
glove
Never thinking 'bout the consequences of her actions
Living for
today and not tomorrow's satisfaction
The days go by and her belly gets
big
The father bails out he ain't ready for a kid
Knowing 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
Nothing else to do but get her clothes and
pack
She say she's about to run away and never come back.

Runaway love
Don't keep on runnin'
Runnin'
[4x]
Don't keep on running [x]
I know how you feel, I've
been there
I was runnin' away too
I will run away with you
[2x]
Runaway Runaway Love
Don't keep running away
I'll run
away with you, if you want me too
[Outro - Ludacris:]
Yea, I can only image what you're going through ladies,
Sometimes I feel like
running away myself,
So do me a favor right now and close your eyes,
And
picture us running away together,
when we come back everything is gonna be
okay,
Open your eyes.......
Runaway love
