Runaway Lyrics

    /f Earth, Wind & Fire, The Product G&B

    [Wyclef]
    To my people doing time
    To my people rest in peace (y'all ready for the refugee camp?)
    Introducing Earth, Wind & Fire
    Yah yah yah
    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 mastercard
    Baby you know it's in Hollywood
    New cop flicks with Clint Eastwood
    Went from a teen to a young adult
    No excuses aint't my fault

    [Bridge]
    Runaway
    We living like runaways
    Wake up
    Stretching in the morning
    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
    (Gotta Escape)

    [Chorus]
    I didn't want to runaway
    But I had to get a way yo (gotta get away)
    We didn't want to runaway
    But we had to get away yo (gotta get away)
    I didn't want to leave astray
    But sometimes I gotta get away yo (gotta get away)
    I didn't want to go away
    But I had to go away yo

    Yo G&B where you at?

    [Product G&B]

    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

    [Bridge]
    Runaway
    We living like runaways
    Wake up
    Stretching in the morning
    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


    [Chorus]
    I didn't want to runaway
    But I had to get a way yo (gotta get away)
    We didn't want to runaway
    But we had to get away yo (gotta get away)
    I didn't want to leave astray
    But sometimes I gotta get away yo (gotta get away)
    I didn't want to go away
    But I had to go away yo

    Ladies and gentleman Earth, Wind & Fire

    [Earth, Wind & Fire]

    [Bridge]
    Runaway
    We living like runaways
    Wake up
    Stretching in the morning
    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

    [ChorusX2]
    I didn't want to runaway
    But I had to get a way yo (gotta get away)
    We didn't want to runaway
    But we had to get away yo (gotta get away)
    I didn't want to leave astray
    But sometimes I gotta get away yo (gotta get away)
    I didn't want to go away
    But I had to go away yo
