Ludacris Runaway Love Lyrics

Yeah, and it go a little something scratch like this

[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 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
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' [4x
Don't keep on running [x
I know how you feel, I've been there
I was runnin' away too

I will run away with you [2x

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

[Outro - Ludacris:
Yea, I can only image 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...

10 years later….

"Happy Birthday dear Xavier, happy birthday to you!"

The little boy blew out the birthday candles as his mom and his aunts applauded.

"Don't worry playboy, I'll talk your momma into giving you a more grown up party next year!"

"Aunt Nicole will do no such thing. Besides he likes dinosaurs."

"It was a joke Mom."

"Mom, I knew she was kidding. I love my robotic dinosaur Aunt Lisa."

"I'm glad you like it playboy. The minute I saw it, I knew it was for you."

Who's ready for some cake?"

Lisa watched her two sisters and her nephew cut the birthday cake and she couldn't help but flashback to when she was his age. By then she had already left home and had met up with her sisters. They weren't really her sisters but they were where it mattered most, in her heart.

"Hey Aunt Lisa? Want some cake?"

"Sure baby."

Lisa sat down and ate her cake and ice cream acting like she was enjoying this. However Ericka and Nicole knew better. When he was younger Lisa handled Xavier's parties better. She'd get in on the celebration right along with them. However, as he got more to the age they were when they literally ran for their lives, she took it harder and harder. Out of the three of them, Lisa took leaving the hardest. Granted, she would have rather been anywhere than where she was, yet it didn't mean she didn't miss being a kid. After the party Ericka and Lisa walked outside as there was a no smoking rule in the house because of Xavier.

"Birthday blues again babe?"

"I can't help it Ericka. At first I was happy when he had birthdays, but now as he gets older, and I remember what we were like at his age…"

"We're making sure he doesn't go through what we did at our age though."

"I thank God we're able to do that every day. However there are times I question God and ask him why we had to go through what we did."

"I do that every day honey. Part of me wishes Mags was still around. She'd be giddy over him."

"She would be. She spoiled him rotten."

"She took us in when no one else would. She let me raise him, teaching me how to be a mom to him."

"She knew no matter how it happened, you were his mother. I think Playboy took it as hard as we did when she got sick and died."

"I wonder what she'd think of us now."

"She'd be disappointed we ran after she died, but we weren't going back into the system. They did good to catch us the first time. If Xavier hadn't gotten sick, they wouldn't have."

"I remember that night. The three of us, and him going to the ER. That guy was nice enough to give us a ride, making him believe he was my brother."

"That hospital liked to have passed out when they found out you were his mother. Children's services didn't believe anythng we said that night either."

"But Mags did."

"She was our mother."

"In every sense of the word."

"You found a sitter for playboy yet for this weekend?"

"Actually Carrie's gonna watch him for us. She said we deserved some sister time without my son."

"I like Carrie. She's nice and Xavier loves her."

"I think he has a crush on her."

"I'm glad I'm not the only one who notices that."

A few days later, Xavier is watching tv while his mom and his aunts get ready for their trip. There's suddenly a knock at the door.

"You better look before you open the door Playboy."

"Yes Aunt Lisa."

Xavier opens the door and smiles as he sees Carrie.

"Carrie!"

"Hi pumpkin! How are you?"

"I'm ok. I'm watching tv while they get ready to go."

Ericka walked into the living room.

"Hey Carrie. Thanks for doing this."

"Not a problem girl. I'm just glad you three are getting out, even if it is wrestling."

"Hey, Mags got us into it. We'll be out of your hair in a few minutes. I went over all the stuff with you at work. As promised, numbers are on the fridge, money for pizza is on the counter. Xavier will show you the emergency money if you happen to run out of something round here he needs, like milk, etc."

"Girl relax, I've got you covered."

"Playboy you think you can survive 4 whole days without us?"

"I've got Carrie, I'm ok Aunt Nicole."

"That's what I thought."

After many hugs and kisses to Xavier and thank yous to Carrie, the trio was out on the road. It was only a couple hour drive to Orlando so they were making good time. Mags loved wrestling and watched it religiously. She had gotten them into it and their love for it carried over after Mags had passed away. They pulled into the hotel parking lot of the hotel and lugged their things in. After checking in they went upstairs.

"They let us out loose in public again. The three musketeers are back."

"That always spells trouble."

"For once I'll agree with Lisa on this one Nic."

"Oh come on, let's go do something. Besides I'm hungry."

"You're always hungy, you tapeworm."

"We can go down to the front desk and ask what there is around here."

"Listen to Rachael Ray over here."

"I can't help it I like Food Network."

"Leave her alone Nic."

"Yes Mom."

The three got changed and headed downstairs. The front desk recommended the Ale House that was only two doors down from the hotel. They made their way in and were seated at a table. Ericka and Lisa both spotted the same thing at the same time.

"Thank God an ashtray."

"There's hope yet that not all places will ban smoking."

"I dunno how the hell you two do that."

"I would have beat Lisa's ass if I knew how she started."

"It ain't my fault you rub off on me."

They ordered their food and Lisa caught eyes checking them out from another table.

"We've got eyes at 4 o'clock."

"Is he cute?"

"More like they, but in their own ways."

"What the hell?"

"Don't you dare look. You'd know all to well who they were if you looked at them."

"Wrestlers?"

"Uh huh."

"Which ones?"

"From the glance I was able to get, Homicide, Senshi, Sabin, and…"

"And who?"

"Scott."

"Uh-oh."

"Tell me about it. I'm in trouble now. There's no way in hell…"

"Too late."

"What?"

"He's coming this way."

"Oh shit."
