Текст песни Runaway

to my people doin time...to my people rest in peace
Are you all ready for the refugee camp? c'mon
Introducin Earth Wind and Fire.

yea yea yea
c'mon c'mon c'mon
no money in my pocket
gotta get a new limit
so i became Americas most wanted
all i really wanted was a fancy car
a crib for my mom and a mastercard
livin all good in Hollywood
wakin up to flims of clint eastwood
went from a teen to a young gun
no excusses it aint my fault

(refrain)
Runaway
we livin like runaways
WAKE UP!
stretch yup money on it
tryin to make it through the day
brush my teeth hit the streets
where we be we can afford no beef
hopin one day we dont have to runaway
i dont wanna runaway
but i had to get away
we didnt wanna runaway
but we had to get away
we didnt wanna lead astray
but sometimes i got to get away
i didnt wanna got way
but i had to get away

Momma came home from mondays work
a day time maid
a night time a nurse
workin so hard tryin to survive
livin a ghetto paradise
but sometimes id wake up
in the middle of the night
hopin that they darkness brings me light
prayin for that better day
when we wont have to runaway

(refrain)
ladies and gentleman
earth wind and fire

(refrain)
