Runaway love 



[Verse 1 - Ludacris] 

Now little lisa is only 9 years old 

Shes tryin to figure out why the world is so cold 

Why shes all all alone and they never met her family 

Mamas always gone and she never met her daddy 

Part of her is missin and nobody will listenin 

Mama is on drugs gettin high up in the kitchen 

Bringin home men at different hours of the night 

Startin with laughs--usually endin in a fight 

Sneak into her room while her mamas knocked out 

Tryin 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 

Nothin else to do but some get some clothes and pack 

She says shes bout to run away and never come back.

Runaway love [x8] 



[Verse 2 - Ludacris] 

Little nicole is only 10 years old 

Shes steady tryin to figure why the world is so cold 

Why shes 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 makin up excuses 

Bleedin on the inside, cryin on the out 

Its only one girl really knows what she about 

Her name is lil stacy and they become friends 

Promise that they always be tight til the end 

Until one day lil 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 

Nothin else to do but some get some clothes and pack 

She says shes bout to run away and never come back.

[Verse 3 - Ludacris] 

Little erica is eleven years old 

Shes steady tryin to figure why the world is so cold 

So she pops x to get rid of all the pain 

Cause shes havin sex with a boy whos sixteen 

Emotions run deep and she thinks shes in love 

So theres no protection hes usin no glove 

Never thinkin bout the consequences of her actions 

Livin for today and not tomorrows satisfaction 

The days go by and her belly gets big 

The father bails out he aint ready for a kid 

Knowin 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 

Nothin else to do but get her clothes and pack 

She say shes about to run away and never come back.
