Runaway(feat. 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]

Ba dow bo ba dow bo ba dow bo ba dow bo ba dow bo ba dow bo

(da da da da da da ) (Feeling melly y'all)

Ba dow bo Ba dow bo

(More peace y'all)

Ba dow bo Baw dow bo

Ba dow bo Baw dow bo

Bow da da da da

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

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

Yo y'all gonna make me do it I don't want to do it but here we go
