You better run
Don't let him get you
You better run
Don't let him get you
Let me get you, Babe
He gonna rape you
You know
One day I was in the park
I see a girl come running up to the car
She ran up to the car
She said, "Mr."
Said, "Would you get me home"
I said, "What's wrong with you, Baby?"
She said, "That man gotta knife"
Said, "He tryin to rape me"
You better run
Don't let him get you
You better run
Don't let him get you
If he catch you, Babe
He gonna rape you
Yeah
An' on the way home
I said, "Baby,
You might still get raped"
She said, "Mr. Junior,"
Said "You don't have to rape me;
Cos I love you"
You better run
Don't let him get you
You better run
Don't let him get you
If he gets you, Babe
He gonna rape you
You better run
Don't let him get you
You better run
Don't let him get you
If he gets you, Babe
He gonna rape you
