Ludacris - Runaway Love Lyrics






[Hook: Mary J. Blige]
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love

[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.

[Hook: Mary J. Blige]
Runaway love [x8]

[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.

[Hook: Mary J. Blige]
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.

[Hook: Mary J. Blige]
Runaway love
Don't keep on runnin'
Runnin' [x4]
Don't keep on running
I know how you feel, I've been there
I was runnin' away too

I will run away with you [x2]

Runaway Runaway Love
Don't keep running away
I'll run away with you, if you want me too

[Outro: Ludacris:]
Yeah, I can only imagine 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...

  14. i.... g....

    I cry every time I hear this song. My family swept so much shit under the rug “what happens in this house stays in this house” . Now I’m 38 and nvr came to terms with my childhood. I’ve tried counseling twice but cried too much I never went back. Now I am soooo over protective of my kids it scares me sometimes. If I ever tell my truth my entire family will fall apart #facts. So I just cry sometimes when I reflect of certain parts of my childhood way more sadness than happiness . Just wanted to put my thoughts out there

  15. N.... O....

    I prefer rap that actually focuses on social issues

  26. R.... P....

    Same as Tupac Brenda's got a baby just different lyrics

  27. C.... F....

    1/19/2020: Every now-and-again, I'm led to listen to the PAINFUL and REAL lyrics of this. My story may not be as unsavory as some of these that I read but, at fifteen, after he was in my life since I was 9, my mother's man tried to RAPE me, just 6 months before they got married. I told, then recanted, so, I wasn't believed. Then, four years passed and after High School, I was sent to live with this man in another country(because he had connections that could get me a job). There was NO $$ for my mother to send me to College. I was RAPED again on my 20th Birthday, and, that continued for 18 months until my Grandma died, so my mother asked me to come back home. (Mostly, because the man wanted to divorce her, not because she really wanted me to return). All these years later, I find myself ALONE(never married, no children) and having to deal with this same mother (who took a man's word over mine), facing Stage IV Stomach Cancer. My bitterness over her choosing others(outsiders)does take a hold of my sanity, at times like this. But, Hallelujah!!, I have the Power Of Prayer and Faith, to keep focusing on a POSITIVE outcome, for Mommy.

And put kids with low hope and less faith to just follow me! To a place where they could see a better destiny! They would runaway and let love follow me! Run away loove! Runaway looove! Runaway looove! See how i can twist these word positively. If you run away and follow me! Runaway Looove! Runaway Looove! Runaway Looove! .........
